Cant believe theres no bidding war
This is a bit over 1300sf
There’s something going on with the brickwork at the entrance. Guessing the column settled and there appears to be a lot of water infiltration and the drainage system is compromised
Outdoor area looks nice, but looks pretty photoshopped and curious whats on the other side of the patio causing the notch
Seems pricy for a SLoop depressing shit box
“Seems pricy for a SLoop depressing shit box”
Chicago prices have gone up. Imagine that.
Still a 3 bedroom with parking in a lovely area. These patios are nice if you have a small dog. Can just open the door and let them out. Also very private.
Lots of trees and not much traffic in this area so it feels pretty secluded.
Also, it’s pretty surprising to see a primary suite in a townhouse built in this era. It’s a nice feature to have 2 full bathrooms on the second floor and a half bath on the main floor.
From prior comments on this development in older chatters, apparently the 3-bedrooms are the largest and most desirable units.
“Lots of trees and not much traffic in this area so it feels pretty secluded.”
Clark Street is ~5′ from the patio, and 5 lanes wide through there.
This prior sale, just a bit to the east, would get more of that seclusion:

It is super quiet along Plymouth, other than pedestrians (w. and w.o kids or dogs) and cyclists passing through the bollards behind Dearborn Station and under Roosevelt.

“Clark Street is ~5? from the patio, and 5 lanes wide through there.”
LOL

“Clark Street is ~5? from the patio, and 5 lanes wide through there.”
The complex JohnnyU. It’s a nice, lovely secluded area. Doesn’t even feel like it’s in the city. With dead end streets that few are driving down. Lots of mature trees given when it was built. And Dearborn Park which is very nice. I’ve always liked this complex even though it’s older.
“It is super quiet along Plymouth, other than pedestrians (w. and w.o kids or dogs) and cyclists passing through the bollards behind Dearborn Station and under Roosevelt.”
Yes, it is. And Park Terrace too. All the streets there are quiet. The whole complex is quiet and lush with little access to cars and no through streets. Also have Dearborn Park which is lovely.
Yes, Clark Street is on the back side which is why they have built walls there. I would not want to own one of the units facing Clark. Like every building/complex, there are likely preferred locations.
“I would not want to own one of the units facing Clark.”
The featured unit is one of the units facing Clark.
Pic 20 makes AMLI 900 look like it’s across an alley, not a 5 lane street.
“The featured unit is one of the units facing Clark.”
Right. That’s what I said. I said the units on Park Terrace and Plymouth are better than those which back onto Clark.
This complex is just unique. Very secret part of the city with mature trees, lots of grass, few cars and little traffic.
I lived at 801 S Plymouth for years and love this secluded part of the city. We toured a similar townhome along Clark and didnt really hear too much on the first level, but could on the second. Good windows are integral, the other unit had originals.
Units with 2.5 baths and a en suite are awesome. This can be hard to find in anything downtown.
The development has been very active in fixing brick issues, they did a ton of work across many homes from 2019-2020.
This townhouse is under contract at the same price of $609,900.
“This townhouse is under contract at the same price of $609,900”
How do you know this?
It was listed at $609,900 when we chattered about it and it is still currently listed at $609,900. It has not been reduced so it is under contract at the same list price.
We won’t know what it sells for until the close. Obviously.
Hard to tell if there’s a basement from the listing – strange. I agree it’s a quiet area and surprisingly so for being so close to the Loop.
“Hard to tell if there’s a basement from the listing”
I didn’t see anything that would suggest there is a basement–what did I miss?
No basements in these.
