Live in a Landmarked Church in the Ukrainian Village: 921 N. Hoyne
This 4-bedroom in The Revival at 921 N. Hoyne in the Ukrainian Village originally came on the market in March 2019.
This church is the former St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran and, according to curbed, it’s 114 years old.
It’s apparently taken several years to renovate due to the recent landmark classification which requires a certain level of detail on the exterior renovation.
From Curbed:
Though located in a famously Ukrainian neighborhood, the old church was completed in 1905 by a congregation of German immigrants. Notable architects Henry Worthmann and John Steinbach designed the Gothic Revival style building which later went on to house a Seventh Day Adventist Church before hitting the market.
There are 9 units and parking.
They appear to range in price from $579,000 for the smallest 3 bedroom, 2 bath units to $1.299 million for a 4 bedroom, 3 bath 2700 square foot duplex.
In the renovation, the developer restored the exterior stained glass windows, some of which are now featured in the condo units.
Unit #6, which is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath duplex up with 2100 square feet, has south and west windows.
The kitchen has Italian cabinetry, quartz counter tops, a tile backsplash, and Bosch stainless steel appliances.
The bathrooms also have modern features.
3 of the bedrooms in this unit are on the second floor, including the master bedroom which has 10 foot ceilings and a stained glass window in the shower in the bathroom. It also has a walk-in-closet.
The other two bedrooms have dormer ceilings and skylights.
The fourth bedroom is on the main level, but the listing also calls it a den.
The units have central air, washer/dryer in the unit and heated garage parking is included.
This unit is listed at $849,000.
Are these upper bracket prices the reality in Ukrainian Village now?

This is a great landmarked church. There are a bunch of others on the market right now (not all are landmarked.) Some have become apartments.
There aren’t many they are turning into condos.
But the prices on these are steep.
Are people really paying over $1 million for a condo in Ukrainian Village?
“Are people really paying over $1 million for a condo in Ukrainian Village?”
Apparently somebody thinks they are. We could split hairs whether theres a huge difference between UK village and Wicker Park at this location, but…

I think most people WOULD “split hairs” about a property that is on Division versus one that is south of Augusta.
I know Ukrainian Village has been gentrifying for at least a decade. It’s not shocking that prices have gone up.
But million dollar condos there? Wow. That’s no longer “this neighborhood is gentrifying.” That price signals that it has already done so and is now completely the 1%.
But is it?
looks boring and soulless to me… but what else should I expect these days
