2-Bedroom Duplex Up Ends Up Selling For $14K Under the 2008 Price in the Taylor Street Neighborhood: 1449 W. Lexington
We chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex up at 1449 W. Lexington in the Taylor Street neighborhood on the near west side several times since it was first listed in 2010, including last September when it was re-listed.
See our September 2011 chatter here.
Several of you loved the neighborhood and thought the unit was cute, but, you also thought it was still priced a little high at $339,000.
The unit finally sold in February 2012 for $310,000, or $14,000 under the 2008 purchase price.
If you recall, it had ebony stained hardwood floors throughout and a travertine fireplace.
The kitchen had stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and a glass tile backsplash.
It also had the amenities buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and garage parking.
Nicholas Skidmore at Starting Point Realty had the listing.

W. Lexington.
I love that neighborhood.
I liked this one based on MLS photos, but when I drove by months ago, the townhouse complex was far more densely configured than I had imagined. This has a ground floor unit below it too.
Whoops- yes- this is West Lexington (not north.) I fixed it. Thanks.
