Affordable Vintage in East Lakeview: A 2-Bedroom at 651 W. Buckingham
This 2-bedroom at 651 W. Buckingham Place in East Lakeview just came on the market.
Built in 1900, the building has 6 units.
At 1400 square feet, it has many features that vintage lovers look for including a separate dining room with a coffered ceiling and original hutch as well as other restored woodwork and trim.
The listing says the kitchen has been remodeled. It has modern white and wood cabinets, quartz counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
One of the baths is remodeled with marble flooring. It is rare vintage that isn’t just a 2/1 but instead has an extra half bath.
The unit has both front and back private patios.
While it has in-unit washer/dryer, there’s no central air.
Outdoor parking is included in the price.
Listed at $375,000, is this condo a deal for the square footage and amenities in this location?

seems like a decent price even if there is only 1 full bath and it needs some updating.
“it needs some updating”
such as? looks already updated to me.
i think the kitchen is disgusting but you are correct, it has been updated.
anyway, if this had A/C, covered parking, and a full 2nd bath, what do you all think would be the increase in value?
