A 4-Bedroom Vintage Townhouse in East Lincoln Park Under $1 Million: 524 W. Grant

This 4-bedroom townhouse at 524 W. Grant in East Lincoln Park recently came on the market.

This is an unusual property for a townhouse as it is vintage having been built in 1881.

We chattered about the front unit in this 3-unit property in 2012:

“It is also part of a 3-unit townhouse building where, according to the notes left by a Redfin agent about the property, the original owner in the 1980s split the vintage house into two- moving the back of the house to the back end of the property and built a new addition smack dab in the middle.”

Is this the townhouse in the middle or the back?

It has three levels and you enter on the first floor where there is a living and dining room along with the kitchen and a full bath.

The kitchen has dark modern cabinets and stone counter tops along with stainless steel appliances.

The second floor has a large family room and 3 out of the 4 bedrooms along with a full bath.

The master suite takes up the entire third floor and has vaulted ceilings and skylights.

It has a two-tiered outdoor living space off the master bedroom level which is private to the unit.

The townhouse has central air and one car garage parking.

It is fee simple so there are no assessments.

At $950,000, this is priced lower than many duplex down units in Lincoln Park. The listing even describes it as “lives like a single family home.”

Is this a deal for East Lincoln Park?

Jacqueline Lafferty at Baird & Warner has the listing. See the pictures here.

  1. this place is tiny, just looking at the floor plan, looks around 2000sqft total counting the stairs and everything… for 3 levels that is not that big for a million bucks

    but its renovated and its a SFH in LP so I’m sure it will sell super fast

  2. I like this place and, if we still lived in ELP, would probably want to be friends with these folks.

  3. I like it. It is definitely a little over priced but apparently no so overpriced that it doesn’t already have an offer in hand.

  4. It’s not a SFH. It’s one of 3 units in this building, the unit in the rear.

  6. They’re not

    Access to the deck is thru the MBR

    The doors on either side of the fireplace is a weird touch, especially as they look cheaper than Jan Terri’s choice in beer
