I need to get some of those RH can lights and RH track lighting.
is the parking outdoors presumably? during winter a nice car will get absolutely destroyed.
Location is obviously very desirable, but it looks like every single window faces another wall within touching distance.
Might as well spend 900k on a townhouse between Halsted and Ashland between fullerton and belmont in Lakeview westish instead?
Price seems fair enough given nice condition, really up to a buyer that is desperate for location.
Pictures make ceiling look low, but that’s probably just imaging. I bet it shows nicely in person.
Severely overpriced for a mediocre building. If you want a great low-rise Lincoln Park vintage condo, you could get this place (link below) a few blocks away for less. Much better building.

@ Dan #2 – I’ve always liked that building, but that monthly HOA is insane.
Zonamiss:
I agree the HOA is “a chunk,” but it does include a parking space, which I’d value at around $200 a month. So really $2,450 a month for HOA.
It would be interesting to see if that includes the property tax, as well.
This recent sale lists the HOA w/o the taxes and maybe w/o the parking, and seems likely to have a larger share of the co-op:

$905/month is *cheap* for a 3000 sf unit in a vintage building and inclusive of heat. So cheap that I wonder if it is an error.
The whole Roslyn building was gut-rehabbed in 2004, when elevators were added, and has garage parking. Yet, the walk-up on Lincoln Park without garage parking is far superior? Hello?!?
