2-Bedroom Duplex Up with a Retractable Pergola for $575,000: 2836 N. Southport in Lakeview

This 2-bedroom duplex up at 2836 N. Southport in Lakeview came on the market in February 2025. I don’t have a picture of this building so you’ll have to make due with St. Alphonsus Church up the street.

Built in 2001, it has 4 units and covered parking for 3 cars behind the building.

The listing calls it a “quiet section of Southport.”

This unit has been “thoughtfully updated” including with refinished hardwood floors on the main level.

The main level includes the living room, which has a gas fireplace, the kitchen/dining room combination, a half bath and the laundry.

It has a “contemporary” kitchen with upgraded green cabinets that reach the ceiling, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a wood island with seating for 2, an area for a dining table and a board and batten accent wall.

The second floor has both bedrooms, which are carpeted, and a jack-n-jill bathroom with a marble double vanity, a glass shower and a separate bathtub.

But the big feature of the unit is the large private terrace off the kitchen which has lush landscaping, 2 gas hookups, an outdoor television and a retractable pergola along with privacy fences.

It is enough space to have a full sectional sofa and a dining table.

This duplex has the features that buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and one covered parking space.

This building is located in central lakeview near the shops and restaurants on Lincoln, Diversey and Ashland. It’s near several bus lines and the listing says it’s “conveniently close” to the brown, purple and red line trains (red line?) but I leave that up to all of you to tell me if this is “close” to the Brown/Purple line stop.

Listed at $575,000, that is $110,000 above the 2021 sales price.

I recommend checking out the pictures from the 2021 listing for “before” and “after” comparisons.

Will the updated kitchen seal the deal?

Stephen Hnatow and Ashley Volden at KellerWilliams ONEChicago have the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.

Or you can also see it at the Open House on Saturday, February 15 from 11 am to 1 pm.

Want a 2-Bedroom in Wicker Park with Parking? $675,000 in the Alcove at 1648 W. Division

This 2-bedroom in The Alcove at 1648 W. Division in Wicker Park came on the market in February 2025.

Built in 2021, the Alcove is a collection of an 8-story mid-rise elevator building and townhomes.

It has attached garage parking and the mid-rise has a common roof deck with a grill, firepit and RH furniture with city views. It also has a turfed dog run.

The listing says this unit is “practically new” and “fit for the pages of a magazine.”

It has east and south exposures with “top of the line” finishes.

There are wideplank hardwood floors throughout and 9 foot ceilings.

There’s floor-to-ceiling windows in the living/dining room but not in the bedrooms.

The unit has a “gourmet” kitchen that is open to the living/dining room with premium white and light wood Italian Copatlife cabinetry, pro-grade Viking appliances, quartz countertops, and a 9′ peninsula which seats 4.

It has a 10×7 walk-in pantry with in-unit washer/dryer.

The unit has a split floor plan.

The primary suite has 2 closets, including one that is a walk-in-closet, with a spa-like en suite bathroom with a double vanity and expansive shower.

The unit has the features buyers look for including central air and attached garage parking which is included.

There’s also a 15×8 balcony that stretches across the living room.

The Alcove is at the crossroads to both Wicker Park and Bucktown.

The listing describes the neighborhood as the following:

“You’re just a two-minute walk from the Blue Line, and The Alcove offers you the perfect balance: immediate access to urban conveniences like boutique Target, Philz Coffee, Starbucks, WPAC gym, Foxtrot market, and the acclaimed Tortello’s, while being thoughtfully positioned away from the street energy.”

Listed for $675,000, that’s just $25,000 above the original sales price from the developer in 2021 of $650,000.

There’s just 19 homes listed in “Wicker Park” on Redfin and only 2 properties priced between $600,000 and $750,000.

Will this sell for more than list?

Multiple Offers for a French-Inspired 2-Bedroom Penthouse in the Gold Coast: 17 E. Division

This 2-bedroom at 17 E. Division in the Gold Coast came on the market in February 2025.

Built in 1900, 17 E. Division has 6 units and some outdoor parking.

The listing called this top floor unit a “French-inspired penthouse.”

The unit has some of its vintage features including custom moldings, 12 foot ceilings, a vintage skylight and a wood burning fireplace in the living room.

The listing says it was “rehabbed in 2023-2024.”

It has an “all new” kitchen with white cabinets (but the upper cabinets are mostly missing), stone counter tops, stainless steel appliances and lighting.

If you look at the pictures in the 2022 listing, you’ll see the kitchen was your standard dark wood, stainless steel appliances with an island kitchen.

The current kitchen has replaced the island with a wood table/island which I wonder if it will be included in the sale.

There are hardwood floors throughout, including the bedrooms, which had carpet in the 2022 sale.

The listing says the bathrooms have been “updated.”

The unit also has an office/butler’s pantry which now has built-in cabinets (see pictures from the 2022 to see what it looked like before.)

The unit has some of the features that buyers look for including central air and washer/dryer in the unit. There is no parking but it’s available in the neighborhood.

It also has a private back deck with a water hook-up.

This building is located near the shops and restaurants at State and Division as well as the Rush Street corridor. The Jewel on Division is nearby. You can also easily get to Oak Street Beach. It is near multiple bus lines and the Red line stop at Clark.

This unit came on the market at $640,000, which is $75,000 above the 2022 purchase price of $565,000.

Listed on February 6, it went under contract on February 8.

I’m cribbing about it today because a little birdie told me there were multiple offers. They didn’t even wait until Monday for the “best and final offer.”

Inventory is near record lows in many Chicago neighborhoods.

What should be the strategy of sellers agents in this market?

  1. Price it low, have two open houses on Saturday and Sunday, accept offers on Monday by 5 pm?
  2. List it, have showings, take in offers as they come but continue to show it for “back-up offers”?

What should be the strategy of buyers?

  1. See the property within 24 hours of listing?
  2. Be prepared for multiple bids and have a strategy as to what you’re willing to go over?

Any guesses on sales price?

Anne Rossley at Baird & Warner has the listing. See the pictures here. No floor plan but there is one in the 2022 listing.

Union Square Lofts is near the Merchandise Mart, with its brown/purple line stops, the shops and restaurants on Wells Street and the East Bank Club.

Listed at $425,000, Redfin’s mortgage calculator tells me that it would be a monthly payment of $3889 with 20% down ($85,000) and a 30-year fixed mortgage at 7%, including property taxes of $174 a month, the HOA and taxes.

Wolf Point East nearby, on the Chicago River, has 769 square foot 1-bedrooms with contemporary finishes starting at $3199 a month. The largest 1-bedrooms, at 873 square feet, start at $4117 a month.

3-Bedroom Lincoln Park Townhouse Bursting with Charm Returns at $849,900: 2701 N. Racine

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 2701 N. Racine in Lincoln Park came on the market in January 2025.

Built in 1974, this complex has 10 townhouses and outdoor assigned parking.

If the listing pictures look familiar, that’s because we chattered about this townhouse 3 years ago, in January 2022.

Back then, some of you talked about how it would be a good option for a singleton or a married couple, given the layout.

See our 2022 chatter here.

If you recall, this is a south facing, end unit townhouse with 20 foot ceilings in the living room.

The listing calls it “bursting with charm” and an “entertainer’s dream.”

The living room has a wood-burning fireplace.

There are also hardwood floors throughout all three levels.

The kitchen has dark wood cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances along with a breakfast bar.

There’s a dining room open to the kitchen and living room along with a sliding door that leads to a private, walled in, brick paver patio with a gas line. The listing also says it has a “pet friendly puppy relief station.”

The second floor has the first bedroom, a full bath and the laundry along with floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed wood ceilings.

The third floor has the other two bedrooms and a full bath that was renovated from “top to bottom” in 2023 with a walk-in-shower and in-trend natural wood vanity with black finishes.

The townhouse has a newer furnace HVAC/AC (2022), in-unit laundry and a “newer” tear off roof with a 15 year warranty (2022).

It has central air and one assigned parking space.

The townhouse is near the restaurants, coffee shops and pubs on Lincoln Avenue and is just a few blocks to the Diversey brown line station.

In January 2022, it was listed at $549,900 and I asked if it was a deal. It sold just a month later, over the list, at $601,500.

3 years later, it has come back on the market, with a renovated bathroom, for $849,900.

With Lincoln Park inventory at record lows, will the seller get the premium?

The building is in the Oakdale historic landmark district, which is famous for its terra cotta wall, homes and buildings. The block was landmarked in 2006.

“Hemingway House has gone through a 15 million restoration in the last six years, New facade, newly designed oversized windows, New Risers completed in 2018, and New A/C Chiller in 2018.”

This unit is 800 square feet and is on the penthouse floor.

It has panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Lincoln Park, the zoo and the city.

It has hardwood floors and “Pottery Barn” finishes.

The kitchen has wood cabinets and white and black appliances, including a dishwasher.

The listing says the unit has a “ton of closets.”

The bedroom has custom closet doors.

The design of the building is unique in that several tiers of units are on the “corner” with views up, or down, Clark Street.

This unit has some of the features buyers look for including air conditioning and leased parking is available. There is no washer/dryer in the unit but there is coin laundry in the building.

This building is directly across from Lincoln Park Zoo and near shops and restaurants on Clark, Wells and in Old Town and Lincoln Park. The building is on several bus routes and others are nearby.

Listed in September 2024 at $320,000, it has been reduced $10,000 to $310,000.

Is this unit a steal for those who love Lake and Park views?

Edward Motto at Coldwell Banker has the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.

You can also see it in person at the Open House this weekend, on Saturday, Jan 18 and Sunday, Jan 19 from 1 to 3 PM.
