2-Bedroom Duplex Just a Short Stroll to Lincoln Park Closes: 552 W. Armitage
We chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex at 552 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park several times.
See our August 2009 chatter and pictures here.
The unit had a good location close to Lincoln Park, Old Town and the shops and restaurants on Armitage.
It had a townhouse feel with the two bedrooms on the second floor. The property also had central air and a deeded parking space.
It recently sold for $17,500 under the 2004 purchase price.
Matt Garrison at Coldwell Banker had the listing.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Even though the building does front Armitage, it’s setback enough to make it more acceptable.
Plus it has parking (though uncovered) and is in a really nice part of LP. Yeah, the 60s-tastic urban redevelopment architecture is not necessarily wonderful, it’s not horrible either – look at it as living is a piece of urban development history.
I would be concerned about sufficient storage – this place is likely slab on grade construction and probably has limited storage in the unit.
The house looks like a garage.
Well I guess people will live anywhere to say they live in Lincoln Park… here is a great example, a craptastic 800sqft duplex goes for more than almost everyone expected.
