A 4-Bedroom Condo with New Rooftop Pergolas: 2312 W. Roscoe in Roscoe Village
This 4-bedroom duplex-up condo at 2312 W. Roscoe in Roscoe Village came on the market in October 2022.
Built in 2016, this all-brick building has 2 units. One is duplex down and one is duplex up.
There is garage parking for 1-car for each unit.
This unit is the duplex up and has hardwood floors throughout, upgraded millwork, paneling, coffer ceiling in the family room, custom mantles, cabinetry and bookshelves, and surround sound with speakers.
It has custom blinds, improved lighting and landscaping with irrigation.
The living and dining room, the kitchen and the family room are all on the main floor.
The kitchen has white cabinets, Wolf, Subzero and Bosch appliances, and an island and built-in dining table.
The unit has 2 fireplaces.
All four bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary suite has an en suite marble bathroom with steam shower, separate tub and heated floors.
There are multiple outdoor spaces including a main level front balcony and a second floor front balcony.
It also has a private rooftop deck which the listing says was built-out by the current owners. It has new pergolas, planters and Trex decking.
The condo comes with central air and one car garage parking.
The listing says it’s within “walking distance” to Audubon Elementary, DePaul College Prep and Lane Tech schools. It’s also near the shops and restaurants of Roscoe Village.
There are only 29 properties available on the market right now in Roscoe Village.
Is this duplex-up a single family home alternative in a tight market?

The first picture really makes this look like an eyesore
Owners did a great job on the outdoor area. Might have spent $100k on the pergola alone
Indoor is 100% pure chud
guessing this sells for a little over $1MM
Pretty nice. The Brady jersey may discourage showings a little.
“Phenomenal location close to transportation”
The garage? The Western bus?
It does not look as imposing IRL as that pic makes it seem.
Half bath on the roof deck level (that’s the “add[ed] half-bathroom upstairs”, right?) makes the roof deck a lot more usable.
As to price–among recently closed, you have this good comp in a SFH:

and…
this brand new duplex down:
https://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/3330-N-Damen-Ave-60618/unit-1/home/182107457
(there are interior pix of the still listed #2 unit–dull, but fine).
I’d say this one is easily $150k ‘better’ than the duplex down, but I’d also usually say that the SFH should be worth at least $200k more, sort of squeezing the market. The one limit on the SFH is that it’s in Jahn rather than Audubon, so that’s a consideration.
Also: “July 2016 for $992,000”
+ CPI = $1.223m. Without accounting for the improvements.
Another example of the HUUUUUUUUGE “outsized appreciation” from buying real estate.
Bobbo really showing us how homeowners are getting rich on the backs of guys like him.

Not using the Sabrina construction cost calculator, the ask sort of feels like Purchase price + improvements (Depending on when they built) + Realator fees
They lived here 6 years and will likely lose money. Really a sad reflection on the market because the improvements were well spent
“the ask sort of feels like Purchase price + improvements + Realtor fees”
Maybe rounded up a little, but yeah. Totally agree.
I really like this layout (living/dining, eat-in kitchen(not open to living/dining) + family room.
I actually like it, even if it is a bit standard. Nice amount of kitchen storage, rooms seem large enough, and every bathroom has a tub. Outdoor space is very nice. The building itself is ugly and the listings picture of the front next to two future teardowns is not helping. They should have used Sabrina’s photo.
How many parking spaces should a place this size/price/location have? Would this family be likely to have two cars?
Which of the Jewel and Mariano’s down the street closes should the Albertson/Kroger deal occur?
“two future teardowns”
I’m still amazed that the one to the west/left wasn’t a teardown when Hot Doug’s had the fire and moved.
I second the irony of “close to transportation.” This is one of the worst areas on the North Side as far as public transport to downtown. Maybe not so important these days as fewer go to work out of the home.
“The Brady jersey may discourage showings a little.”
Lotta Giselle fans around?
“Which of the Jewel and Mariano’s down the street closes should the Albertson/Kroger deal occur?”
My guess is neither. There are markets like Chicago where the combined company would have too much market share and they’ll very likely be forced into some divestitures. My guess is they’ll have to sell off Mariano’s.
It’d be somewhat funny/odd if Bob can put some investors together and buy them back (maybe in a combined company with his new Dom’s?).
Reduced to $1.15m.
