Get Your Sunroom With Jacuzzi Tub Here: 6030 N. Sheridan
There are unique and interesting properties and then there is Penthouse #01 at 6030 N. Sheridan in Edgewater/Rogers Park.
What would you pay to have your own cedar-lined year round sunroom with jacuzzi tub AND lakeviews?
Here’s the listing:
STUNNING 3 BED 3.5 BATH PH UNIT WITH A PRIVATE 1000 SQ FT DECK OVER LOOKING THE LAKE! OVER 2600 SQ FT FLOOR PLAN WITH LUXURIOUS FINISHES THROUGHOUT, INCLUDING 2 MASTER SUITES.
THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY UPGRADED WITH NEW MARVIN WINDOWS AND DOORS, YEAR ROUND LINED CEDAR SUNROOM WITH JACUZZI TUB, STUNNING LAKE & CITY VIEWS. 2 CAR GARAGE PARKING INCLUDED. AN INCREDIBLE SPACE, MUST SEE!
Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the 1000 square foot terrace with the listing.
Additionally, nearly every drape, blind and shutter in the unit is closed in the pictures. Either it was night out when they took the pictures or bad weather (as it looks to be in the one picture where you can see out the windows.)
But there’s something about that jacuzzi tub…
Unit #PH01: 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2600 square feet, terrace, two car parking
- I couldn’t find an original sales price
- Currently listed for $1.16 million (parking included)
- Assessments of $755 a month
- The listing says central air, but in the bedroom pictures you can clearly see window units- but maybe they just can’t get rid of the units even though they have installed the central air
- Century 21 Sussex & Reilly has the listing
The last unit to sell in the building was Unit #2113 in April 2008 for $210,000.
I will leave the snide commenting re. the $1.16MM+ (despite the view/sunroom) to those below me.
I just wish I learned more about cognitive dissonance in college.
converted to condos 2002
#PH-01 sold 4/11/03 $700,000 from converter
The bldg has 262 units and 26 are currently for sale. 24 are studios and 1BRs from $84,000 to $214,000. One 2BR is for sale for $375,000. The subject, #PH-01, is the remaining listing.
rtb, I always felt the best learning comes from experience. The current lesson in cognitive dissonance provided by some sellers is priceless.
This is unbelievable.
For one thing, 6030 is considered to be a bad conversion. These are very ordianary 50s-60s vintage fugly “midcentury modern” units with low ceilings and no charm at all.
Nobody really wants to buy into this dump. If it weren’t for the real estate hysteria ramping up to a lunatic level c.2005, this place would still be a rental as it always was, and one I never was interested in living in.
Whoever tarted this place up with a jacuzzi wasted his money. It’s still an ugly, laughably overpriced dump. I wouldn’t give a dime over $550K for this, and that’s only because of the terrace- if I didn’t hate this type of architecture so much. I’m probably being generous on the price.
Let’s see….. 421 W Melrose in Lakeview has a listing priced at $205 sq ft. Should this place sell for more per square foot?
Personally, I would price Edgewater at half the money per square foot, as I would Lakeview.
If you want a midcentury modern on Sheridan Rd in Edgewater, there are MUCH better deals than this. The Malibu is a truly good building with large, beautiful apartments with huge terraces, and a pool, and there are 2 bed 2 bath units that are massive, listed between $180K and $250K. There is also 5733 N Sheridan, a great building with large beautiful places with long terraces overlooking the beach. There are many others, all with better architecture, construction, amenities, and views that this rathole.
FYI – There were a bunch of foreclosures in this building. The building is so ugly though, I didn’t even bother.

this? 30 W Oak #4C http://www.dreamtown.com/list/detail.do?ln=6780446&id=937528&n_id=138
or this? 55 E. Erie #1803

or perhaps this? 600 N. LSD #3704

A few things I notice:
1) This unit faces west, and for $1 Million I dont want to be looking out over a cemetery
2) The windows are closed because the view is shitty, this is also why there are no terrace pictures
3) You can clearly see that the bedroom window backs right up against another building, great views of…brick!
4) Must be the most expensive unit that far north…
5) For a million dollars you can get a much much much better 3 bedroom unit a lot closer to the downtown area. And if you’re looking at the price range / type of place to buy, you want to be close to downtown.
Also, large jacuzzis are nothing but problems. Should this really even be installed indoors, in a wood-panelled room at that?
Sounds like the beginning of a major mold problem.
A building of this caliber simply cannot justify a million dollar condo, no matter how nice it is. And this one isn’t all that nice. You’d have better luck spending a million dollars building a house in Englewood.
They really tried on the interior, it does look rather nice. But that building is hideous, projects hideous. The location is not great and I’d be leery of living in a ‘penthouse’ with that many floors below you. All it takes is one of your neighbors below to overcook a pizza and the whole building evacuates. I’m not sure what floor this unit is but I’m guessing its at least the 45th or higher..too high for me.
Laura:
Always telling it like it is!
I believe this is a 30-story building. It’s nowhere near the highest bldg in Edgewater. I never bothered to count the floors while strolling past.
Please track this one, Sabrina (and I know you will). If it ever sells, I can’t imagine it going for more than $500k — and even then, I’d wonder about the sanity of the buyer. Unless they went all retro and did some sort of Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore decorating thing, I can’t imagine this looking good.
This place is so ugly I hope the next property to be examined falls into the real estate porn category. I need something beautiful to cheer me up.
I kinda dig the place actually (total sucker for 50s/60s modern, though I prefer places with larger windows), but the asking price is absurd for that location/square footage/etc.
2600 sq ft, in Edgewater, with a decently sized assessment bill? Probably should be in the $600K range, depending on interest rates, etc.
I’m surprised that the jacuzzi/hot tub is even allowed in this building. Has anyone seen the dec’s and bylaws for this building?

The game is better when the links work and we don’t have to register with another stuipd RE Co.
sorry, stuck… You can just google the addresses, though, and the properties will turn up.
They were pushing this conversion big time right about 5 years ago when I bought a couple blocks further down. No way then, no way now. Sorry, but I could never get past the window air con units – just about everyone else during that era knew enough to put in boxes below the windows. Just plain dreary.
All the chit-chat about Jason’s new digs brought this little gem to the forefront for me. I can’t wait to see how this ends up, but I have a feeling it’ll be at least 5 years before they can find somebody stupid enough to pay $1.2 million for this fugly time warp.
This building is so scary, ugly and inconvenient you would have to pay me to live there.
Well said.
