Love the unit and building but no, I’m not buying on the second floor of a high rise.
Definitely one of the nicer 2/2s on crib chatter – – proper separate dining and living are rare these days.
I still feel like it is over priced by a little. Great proximity to the lake but if you work in the loop that bus commute could be on the 45 minute side each way.
I wonder if noise from LSD is an issue with this unit?
Would make an excellent “in town” if the price were to come down a bit. $871 in assessments for a second floor reflects the buildings age. Wonder what the upper floors pay? Still seems like quite a lot. Has the current owner really owned this since 1994? That is also incredibly rare. Either they didn’t live there full time or this building is fantastic and noise from LSD isn’t an issue.
“Has the current owner really owned this since 1994?”
Yep!
“Either they didn’t live there full time”
Appears to have been the case.
“I wonder if noise from LSD is an issue with this unit?”
Looking at the views you see in the pix, looks like this is a SW corner unit, w/o a E facing window, so muted a bit. But the building is right on top of the southbound on-ramp.
Nice enough place, but not nearly as good a deal for $320,000, as the place you featured at 3300 N LSD is for $425,000. This location isn’t as good, the unit has no outdoor space, and isn’t nearly as attractive an apartment.
