Contemporary Fans Take Note: This 2-Bedroom Has Returned To the Market In West Town: 919 N. Wolcott
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom contemporary at 919 N. Wolcott in West Town several times over the years.
Check out our August 2011 chatter here.
Is it just me or are a lot of properties coming back on the market that tried to sell a few years ago but couldn’t?
And it seems like they are all listing for significantly more.
If you recall, this building is Ranquist designed.
The top floor unit has been converted from a 3-bedroom to a 2-bedroom but it also has two outdoor spaces including a private 9×15 terrace off the master bedroom and a large 11×26 terrace off the great room.
It has a top of the line Arclinea kitchen with Miele and Gaggeneu appliances. The massive kitchen island also has a modern stainless steel counter top.
The master bath has Ann Sacks tile.
There is central air, an in-unit washer/dryer and parking.
Back in August 2011 it had been reduced to $628,000 which included the parking.
This time around it is listed at $699,900.
Will patience net the sellers the higher price 2 years later?
Ivona Kutermankiewicz at Koenig & Strey Real Living has the listing again. See the pictures here.

Those bathrooms are horrendous. It’s as though someone who never used a bathroom designed those bathrooms.
I think this should go in the mid 600s. Gorgeous unit, 2 parking spaces, happening area.
Wonder if they’d still take $628k? What a difference a year can make.
Yep, I bet it would go for mid 600s. I like this place. But why do sellers keep playing this stupid “extra for parking” game? Nobody actually pays extra for it, and I doubt the seller would be willing to sell just the unit and not the parking space.
Great office space.
I agree, the bathrooms are horrendous. No privacy. No storage. and sinks that belong in a chain restaurant. Ugh.
This area has seen tremendous gentrification in the last five years. Even houses south of Chicago Avenue are selling like hot cakes. People know their dollar stretches a lot farther here than Lincoln Park or Lakeview.
Beautiful home! I would bet this goes quickly for asking, if not very close.
Shows terribly. Cinder block construction gives it a weird, unfinished look, the stainless steel island looks like hell due to wear and tear, and it’s smaller thand the pics suggest. I can’t for the life of me understand why this is worth more than $450.
there is so little contemporary in this city that places go fast and for top dollar. But given GG’s comments, I’ll be curious to see how quick and for how much.
“Sold in March 2004 for $430,000”
It’s not exactly new. Has it been recently rehabbed or not??
