Crib Chatter

This 2-bedroom in The Cordova at 1427 N. Dearborn in the Gold Coast came on the market in April 2014.

The Cordova is an 8-unit vintage building with an elevator.

If this unit seems familiar, that’s because it is. It has been on and off the market since July 2010.

We last chattered about it in July 2012. See our chatter here.

The third floor unit has 1700 square feet and some of its vintage features such as a wood burning fireplace.

The kitchen has cherry cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.

The listing says there are “upgraded bathrooms.”

It has central air and a washer/dryer in the unit but no deeded parking. Parking is available next door for $275 a month.

It came back on the market this year at $649,000 and recently reduced $50,000, or 7.7%, to $599,000.

Back in 2012, it went as low as $485,000 before it was withdrawn from the market.

Will it finally sell in 2014?

Lauren Leonardi at @Properties has the listing again. See the pictures here.
