15 Months Later and Now Under the 2004 Price: 1120 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park
We’ve chattered about this vintage condo, Unit #301, in 1120 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park twice now over the past year.
See our April 2009 chatter here.
It has now been reduced by $95,100 and is listed $1,600 under the 2004 purchase price.
The 2-bedroom unit has vintage features, including a gas fireplace with the original mantle.
It also has a separate 11×8 dining room, central air, in-unit washer/dryer and a deeded parking space.
Will this unit finally find a buyer at this new price?
Gerald Murphy now has the listing. See the pictures here.

The *real* question is:
Does Stevo come back and admit Bob was the winner in their gentleman’s bet?
Blah, still looks out dated and pricey, not thanks
Stevo?…
Stevo?….
(crickets in background)
15 months and still no photographer…
Congratulations Bob.
What a dump in not so prime LP… I can’t believe someone paid that much for this!
I really like this neighborhood. But the place looks haunted.
I consider it prime LP enough but its just too close to the El at a block away.
“But the place looks haunted.”
True.

I think it’s perfect distance from the el – probably can’t even hear the el. From the condo, walking down Armitage, you’d cross Seminary, then Kenmore and even then the el is on the other side of Sheffield. I lived at 1100 W. Wolfram and the el wasn’t an issue in the least.
stevo doesnt get off his shift at Baskin Robbins until 4, he cant comment until then
if you guys were the seller wouldnt you fire the listing agent for pictures like that?
do the taxes seem high or am i just high?
i does have central air and in unit W/D. (never again am i going to go to the laundromat)

Yes, yes, and a resounding yes from the peanut gallery. My cell phone camera takes better pictures.
“I consider it prime LP enough but its just too close to the El at a block away.”
I live a couple of doors down from this building and never hear the el. (This place is just west of Seminary).
One of my friends actually owns the top unit in this building, but their place looks much nicer than this and it came with the roof deck. Small bedrooms and one bath, but I think it’ll find a buyer at $310K because of the low assessments, in-unit, sep dining, and parking.
Yuck, this building has front and back units – makes a small building feel even smaller. Besides, I wouldn’t want as neighbors anyone who thought buying a condo in the REAR of this building was a good idea…
“One of my friends actually owns the top unit in this building, but their place looks much nicer than this and it came with the roof deck.”
Hard to imagine a place nicer than this one…
So that deck pictured is the over the garage deck I take it that is common to the building. Gross. I hate those alley decks – especially sharing them. Never learned how to do that 😉
“One of my friends actually owns the top unit in this building, but their place looks much nicer than this and it came with the roof deck”
And an assessed value about 10% less than the 301 and 201 units. The ’02 units all have identical assessed values–this looks like a slam dunk for lack of uniformity, if someone just got the owner to file an appeal.
I’ll add to the chorus stating this is nowhere near the L as far as audible issues are concerned. You’ve got Sheffield and Seminary between you and the tracks.
Wow. ZzZZzzZZZ
