3-Bedroom East Lincoln Park Duplex in The Portals for $649,500: 425 W. Grant Place
This 3-bedroom in The Portals at 425 W. Grant Place in East Lincoln Park came on the market in January 2024.
The Portals, at 425 W. Grant Place, was built in 1972 and has 50 units and assigned outdoor parking. I believe all the units are 3-bedroom duplexes.
It has a bike room and an on-site manager/engineer as well as extra storage.
The listing says this unit has the “best layout.”
It is a first and second floor unit with a huge private walled brick patio.
It has real hardwood floors throughout.
The living room, dining room and kitchen, along with a half bath and a stackable washer/dryer are on the main floor.
The kitchen is a Kupperbush custom kitchen with white cabinets and stone counter tops along with built-in appliances.
There’s a fireplace in the living room.
The second floor has the three bedrooms and two full baths, with the primary bedroom being en suite.
The listing says all three bathrooms have been “redone.”
This unit has the features buyers look for including one assigned outdoor parking space, central air and the washer/dryer in the unit.
Dogs and cats are welcome.
This complex is near the Francis Parker School, the Lincoln Park Zoo, Lincoln Park, the Conservatory and the shops and restaurants of East Lincoln Park and Old Town.
Listed at $649,500, this duplex was under contract within one day of being listed, but it has come back on the market. It may already be under contract again by the time this is posted.
Is this duplex an affordable townhouse alternative in this neighborhood?
