A 2-Bedroom Loft with a Balcony Overlooking the 606: 1750 N. Wolcott in Bucktown
This 2-bedroom loft in the Signature Lofts at 1750 N. Wolcott in Bucktown came on the market in September 2021.
Converted into lofts in 2000, the Signature Lofts building has 26 units and heated garage parking.
It’s an elevator building with a shared rooftop deck.
This loft has 16 foot timber ceilings, exposed brick walls and oversized industrial windows.
There are hardwood floors in the main living spaces and carpeting in the bedrooms.
The bedrooms are fully enclosed.
The primary bedroom has a window and an en suite bathroom which has a double vanity, tub and shower.
The kitchen is open to the living and dining room and has stone counter tops, an island and stainless steel appliances.
The listing says there is a new refrigerator, furnace and AC system.
The loft has the features buyers look for including in-unit washer/dryer, central air and one car heated garage parking is included.
It has a big balcony that overlooks the popular 606 trail.
Originally listed in September 2021 for $625,000, it’s still listed at $625,000.
Does the 606 still lure in buyers?
Nicholas Colagiovanni at Baird & Warner has the listing. See the pictures here.

I don’t see 1600sf likely much closer to 1200 and the deck doesn’t look 40’ long
The second bedroom is not fully enclosed, it’s open to the hallway, so cheap they didn’t run duct work into it
Staging would definitely help as this place looks sad and pathetic as is. I can see a lot of disappointed potential buyers with the blatant lying by the realator.
Way over priced.
not even close to Bucktown.
HUGE premium to live in this neighborhood. This place goes for $400k in the South Loop.
What a meh unit oof… Do you think they will even get their 528.5k back from 2007?
#103 sold last year:

$503k, and more updated. Most places, I could see preferring 1st over 3d (no downstairs neighbors), but here I don’t feel it, give the looming-ness of the 606, so that at least washes with the updates.
Think they’ll top $528, but likely not by very much, given that it appears to be the same as ’07, other than the “New refrigerator, furnace and AC system”.
“What a meh unit oof… Do you think they will even get their 528.5k back from 2007?”
Still paying the price for buying at the top of the bubble.
It happened to stock investors who bought in in 2000 as well. Look at Microsoft. Took 13 years to get back to the former highs. You have to wait a LONG time to “get back” to bubble highs.

No premium for being a trash receptacle for the 606?
They should do flips if they get over $525k. Dont think the typical Wicker Park buyer has gone full dad mode, New AC/Furnace wont mean anything and Fridge doesnt look wifi enabled so they wont care
In scrolling through the photos all I could think was “eeeew” – – pay top dollar for this and still have to do a deep clean / paint / replace carpet / do updates. No Thanks! This is gross. They way overpaid to begin with. Maybe a sucker will come along who pays over what they paid in 2007, but I couldn’t be convinced to pay over $450K for this. I think the 606 is nice, but I imagine you get tired of it after awhile. I would rather be closer to the lake where you can pay this and get a much nicer unit.
Blah unit, total fixer no thanks
Yikes, way overpriced. It’s nice that no units look directly into it though and the ceilings are high, but the pros end there. Too far from the Damen stop, 2nd bedroom not enclosed, rough baths, etc.
The best aspect of this unit is the view from the common rooftop deck that they somehow did not show (it’s the the 103 listing though).
“Too far from the Damen stop”
A 9 minute (per google), 4/10th mile walk is too far now?
Jeezus.
Unit 203 just closed for 565K
Thanks for the update on this one, David.
203 isnt the subject property
203 sold for $565k and has had updates, 103 is still for sale with a ridiculous $625 ask.
