Get a 3-Bedroom Triplex Loft in a Converted Church for $795,000: 1021 W. Barry in Lakeview
This 3-bedroom church loft at 1021 W. Barry in Lakeview came on the market in October 2022.
Built in 1890, it appears that this church may have been converted in the 1980s into 6 condo units and garage parking.
There are wood stairs in the pictures which I believe lead up to the units so there doesn’t appear to be an elevator.
This unit is a triplex loft with 25 foot cathedral ceilings, exposed beams everywhere and exposed brick along with one of the big round church windows (no stained glass however).
There are also skylights.
The loft has hardwood floors and carpet throughout.
The listing calls the kitchen “newer” and it has dark wood cabinets, a kitchen island and Subzero, Thermador and Bosch appliances. (In the 2013 listing, the kitchen was a “Tuscan” kitchen.)
There’s also a bar area with a wine refrigerator and a wood burning stove (not a fireplace) in the living room.
There’s an atrium and sitting room.
Two bedrooms are on the main floor with the primary suite is on the third floor with a new custom closet.
It has outdoor space with a “huge lpe wood deck with mega tempered walkable glass.”
The unit has new AC units, new furnaces and a 2-car tandem parking space in the garage.
There’s also washer/dryer in the unit.
This building is near the shops and restaurants of central Lakeview including the El stops at Wellington and Belmont. It is also an easy stroll to Wrigley Field, Southport and Roscoe Village.
Listed at $795,000 for 2200 square feet, is this a townhouse alternative?
David Mahoney at Jameson Sotheby’s has the listing. See the pictures here (sorry, no floor plan).
