After 3 Years, Contemporary Penthouse Finally Sells: 919 N. Wolcott in West Town
We’ve been chattering about this 2-bedroom top floor unit in 919 N. Wolcott in West Town on and off since 2010.
See our May 2011 chatter here.
If you recall, this is a Ranquist development.
The unit had been converted from a 3-bedroom to a 2-bedroom but it also had two outdoor spaces including a private 9×15 terrace off the master bedroom and a large 11×26 terrace off the great room.
It also had a top of the line Arclinea kitchen with Miele and Gaggeneu appliances. The massive kitchen island also had a modern stainless steel counter top.
There were all the features you would expect from new construction including central air, an in-unit washer/dryer and parking.
Interestingly, we’ve chattered about this building before and specifically about the “sister” penthouse, Unit #301. It had similar luxury finishes.
That unit sold in May 2010 for $675,000.
This unit came back on the market in May 2013 at $699,900 to test this hotter market.
It finally recently sold for $635,000.
Given what #301 sold for in 2010, and the market is now hotter, did someone get a deal?
Ivona Kutermankiewicz at Koenig & Strey Real Living had the listing. You can still see pictures here.

That seems steep for a 2 Bedroom.
I wouldn’t consider it a “deal”, but I guess we’ll find out.
Pretty cool place. I’m not familiar enough with this area to know if it’s a deal.
