In this crazy market, there are some properties that seem to sell in only a few weeks (for insane prices) and others that sit on the market for months with numerous price reductions.

560 W. Roscoe #3W is one of those properties that is sitting on the market.

It’s a gorgeous unit that feels like a single family home.

  • #3W: Two bedroom, two bath, 2100 square feet with a dining room

As you can see from the pictures, the kitchen has been completely renovated.  Both bathrooms are also modern and renovated with the vintage feel.  The crown moldings and fireplace are to die for.  There is also an enclosed sunroom off the back.

It’s been on the market 210 days with several price reductions.

  • Original list price: $499,000
  • Current list price:  $465,000

What is wrong with it?

  1. It’s on the third floor of a walk-up building.  Some people hate that.  They don’t want to walk up or carry groceries or children up stairs.
  2. It doesn’t have central air- though that can be rectified for probably about $10,000.
  3. It lacks parking.  Even the best properties are sitting on the market if they lack parking.

If you don’t have parking, forget it.

Still, you have to admit, it’s gorgeous.
