1 1/2 Years Later, This 2/2 Is Now Owned By Fannie Mae: 2757 N. Lincoln In Lincoln Park
We’ve chattered about this 2 bedroom at 2757 N. Lincoln in the north end of Lincoln Park twice in the last year and a half.
See our November 2011 chatter here.
Back then, the unit was listed as a short sale and had just done a $60,000 drama price reduction (which evidently didn’t work- because the bank took it back.)
But our chatter was interesting as we debated how much lower prices could go and whether or not there would be some type of mortgage forgiveness. (And wow- were we GLOOMY in 2011.)
Back in November 2011, this property had been reduced to $369,000 but most of you thought that still wasn’t low enough.
Some of you actually thought it would sell under $300,000 but others thought $350,000 to $360,000 was more realistic.
It has now come back on the market from Fannie Mae listed at $399,900.
If you recall, the unit has upscale finishes including Wolf, Subzero, Bosch and Dacor stainless appliances.
From the pictures, it appears that the kitchen is still intact except for one vacant lower level cabinet.
In the pictures, the refrigerator, dishwasher and stove are still there- so what was the big empty hole in the cabinets? Bonus points to anyone who knows the answer.
The master bedroom has a spa bath.
There is a fireplace, crown molding, hardwood floors throughout and 2 outdoor spaces.
The unit has central air, washer/dryer in the unit and garage parking is included.
Will this 2/2 sell for closer to $400,000 than the $300,000 some of you guessed in 2011?
Benjamin Beaty at Jameson Sotheby’s has the listing. See the pictures here.

“In the pictures, the refrigerator, dishwasher and stove are still there- so what was the big empty hole in the cabinets? Bonus points to anyone who knows the answer.”
I checked out the really bad pictures — I’m guessing it was a wine fridge.
Probably a wine cabinet?
Already under contract.
And I think H is correct on ‘wine (or bev) fridge’.
small bedrooms and living space. nice bathrooms…..
“Already under contract.”
that was quick
These units are terrible, your view is of a rat infested alley. I went to a party at one of the terrace level units (2nd floor I think) back in 2007/08 and it was extremely underwhelming, I can’t believe a unit was 500k! Dayum insanity!

some place go under contract before MLS list. i dont know the rules on that but it seems like the listing is some rule thing needed to be done even if its a done deal long ago.
I was in the unit the day after it was the market (last Tuesday). It showed great. Yes, the open space is for a wine fridge. It’s off the market. I put an offer for a couple hundred over the asking and didn’t get it.
3.5% down is all it takes with Homepath, or 14k.
