East Lincoln Park 3-Bedroom Is Still Available 6 Months Later: 444 W. Roslyn
This 3-bedroom in 444 W. Roslyn in East Lincoln Park came on the market in February 2019.
If it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it in February.
Back then, some of you thought it was overpriced.
See our chatter here.
If you recall, the building was built in 1930, has 15 units and was converted into condos during the condo boom in 2004-2005.
It is an elevator building where the elevator opens into a private foyer.
This unit faces south and has plantation shutters on all windows.
There are dark hardwood floors in the main living/dining room with carpet in the bedrooms.
The kitchen has custom dark wood cabinets, granite counter tops and luxury appliances including a new Bosch dishwasher, 2 Dacor ovens, a Dacor microwave and a Subzero refrigerator. There’s also a wine cooler.
The master bedroom has a marble master bath with separate shower and powder room.
The listing says there’s Restoration Hardware lighting throughout.
The unit has the features buyers also look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and it says there is a separate deeded garage space which is $20,000 extra (previously, it was included in the price.)
Since February, it has been reduced $86,000 to $799,000.
Additionally, if you look at the listing pictures, you’ll see that they have added a virtually “staged” kitchen photo which shows the kitchen with white cabinets. As it stands, they are a dark wood but they wanted to show you them in the white.
The white kitchen has been “in” across all types of properties for several years now.
Is the lack of a white kitchen holding this property back from selling?
And if so, why doesn’t the seller just have them painted?
Sharon Gillman at Compass still has the listing. See the pictures here.
