This 3-bedroom at 1715 W. Ohio in the East Village neighborhood in West Town came on the market in February 2021.

Built in 1889, this building was converted into condos in 2005.

It’s an elevator building with 5 units,garage parking, bike storage and storage rooms.

The listing says there are 2 units per floor and they do not shares walls.

This unit has 27 windows with south, east and west exposures.

It has an open concept living/dining room and kitchen with a “bonus” space off the living room.

The kitchen appears to have white and brown cabinets with stone counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a kitchen island.

Although it is not a loft, it has some loft-like features including exposed wood beams and exposed brick walls.

All 3 bedrooms are fully enclosed.

The primary bedroom suite has a walk-in-closet, an en suite bathroom and a balcony.

The unit also has another outdoor space which is 9 x 67 and the listing says it includes an “irrigated dog area” but there are no pictures of it.

Additionally, I believe the mini-stairs in the dining room are what you use to get out on that deck. (see prior listing pictures as well).

It has all the features the buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and a one car garage.

At 1800 square feet of interior space plus 641 square feet of outdoor space, is this a good townhouse alternative?

Vicki Sheil at @Properties has the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.
