A Renovated Vintage 2-Bedroom in The Pattington: 686 W. Irving Park Road in Uptown
This 2-bedroom in The Pattington at 686 W. Irving Park Road in Uptown came on the market in April 2015.
The listing says it is renovated but it still has many of its original features in place including original moldings in the living room and the original fireplace.
The formal dining room and family room also have a beamed ceiling.
The kitchen has been “upgraded” with walnut cabinets, granite counter tops and Viking appliances. It also has a heated floor which leads to a 25×7 terrace.
The listing says the half bath, which is in the kitchen, is “renovated.”
The unit has space pak cooling, washer/dryer in the unit and parking is available for lease for $99 to $129 a month.
This property was under contract last May but has since been reduced.
At 1800 square feet, is this now a deal for a vintage unit in this location?

Love the kitchen on this place. It seems like a decent price for a good sized two bedroom.
cute place. I wish they had not painted over the lovely wood framing though 🙁
Very nice place. It looks like it has been substantially improved since 1998. The pretty vintage details are still intact, and it is very spacious, with an ample main bath and large kitchen.
The HOA might or might not be reasonable, depending on what it includes.
Interesting how neighborhoods changed. This location is now very nice, but I can remember when it wasn’t the least bit nice, and most people scoffed at the idea that it ever would be. This was one very slummy area until the early 90s, but now it is very nice. The change happened very quickly, I remember.
It looks like a decent deal for the money.
