Calling this a Bucktown when WP is in the development name?
How is this unlucky seller losing money after 5+ years?
Hate duplex downs but the main floor is set up very nice with a separate living & family rooms.
based upon the floor plan included in the last MLS listing, the half bath is actually the master… so that’s weird… however, it looks like that half bathroom space has plenty of room to put in a shower by losing some storage space…
Not even close to Bucktown
I’m not really a duplex-down fan, but this is one of the better ones I’ve seen. The woodwork is charming. I like the outdoor spaces, too. Would rather be on a higher floor in this building.
