Cute place, Finishes are barely mid level, at +$800k was expecting a higher end kitchen. Furnace is in the LR. Not much for storage
An exorbitant location tax to live in Bucktown.
“An exorbitant location tax to live in Bucktown.”

At least it’s in Bucktown, and not in some r.e. agent’s dram of Bucktown
a/c doesn’t work upstairs, no storage, appears that HVAC is in the LR AND kitchen.
Seems like a close approximation (inside space) of the condo yesterday, except you get to own the dirt and no HOA. Totally worth the ~$200k increment, imo.
Unlike that condo, this is well ahead of CPI. PP+CPI = $775, and way better than that for earlier PPs.
Normally, I am a big proponent of having lots of bathrooms in a home, but I don’t understand why there’s a full bathroom on the main level. A powder room would be more appropriate and provide more space. Is anyone really going to want to take their clothes downstairs and then bring their dirty clothes back upstairs? It looks recently remodeled. Why not move that nice tub upstairs and expand the half bath on the top floor? I would want to make the top floor a master suite (assuming the AC could be repaired). The tub could possibly be reused up there. Then, make that powder room smaller. The second floor could be used as an office and a guest bedroom.
Wish listing included pictures of the w/d and garage. Always wish listing showed the garage to verify exactly what the agent calls a garage.
Anyone know if there are water issues in these properties around here where the yard is below street and alley level?
Someone looking for a SFH in this area could do a lot worse. Yes, it’s small, but you can’t expect a big SFH for under $1 million in any city neighborhood in the “green zone.”

My Bucktown house (Hoyne, North of Armitage, South of Fullerton, thank you) was one of those below-street/alley level houses and we had no issues with water, even after very heavy rains.
“Anyone know if there are water issues in these properties around here where the yard is below street and alley level?”
At least the front door is high enough above grade where the water hopefully didn’t make it inside during this past big storm. I know some people who have drains near their sunken back doors had problems with water coming out of those drains and into their homes via the door threshold.
Jenny:
This townhouse is a little bit outside your geographic checklist for a townhouse, and it doesn’t have a rooftop deck, but it has a nice private yard that overlooks a park and a sizable second floor balcony.
And it’s near the lake front, as you desire.
