Logan Square Vintage 2-Bedroom Still Available 10 Months Later: 2734 N. Kimball
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit in a 2006 conversion at 2734 N. Kimball in Logan Square several times before.
See our May 2009 chatter here.
It’s now been reduced by $47,500 since it was first listed in March 2009.
It is now also listed below the 2006 purchase price.
The top floor unit has high ceilings and a fireplace. The kitchen has granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
It also has central air and a washer/dryer in the unit.
There is no deeded parking with the unit.
Is this property now priced to sell?
Greg Whelan at Redfin still has the listing. See the pictures here.

Not a great intersection to be living by because of traffic. Pluses include the mysteriously located GAP OUTLET nearby and a plethora of mexican restaurants with funny chickens painted on their signs.
hahahaaha 274k for a 2/2 in the KMD/MOM/CGT area?
you can get a SFH for that price one block north or west of this on a quiet street with a garage and street parking for guests.
LOL oh this place…
I really like the “custom paintjobs”
But seriously… 175k max. This person bought the wrong place at the wrong time… seriously 285 a sqft in march 09 in this hood? LOLZ!
The realtor took nice pics!
What is rent for a unit like this?
i live in Logan (further east and south), i hope this goes for asking, but wow, that seems overpriced to me?
Why would a realtor have taken this listing and priced it at 285k?
Were they advising the owner on price, or just wnating to get the listing and telling the owner 285k was a fair price? Just seems like a waste of everyone’s time.
Yikes. Friends of mine just bought a 2/2 gut condo a couple of blocks south of here and one or two west, with freshly finished wood floors, new appliances and picked their own granite etc., for something like 220k.
I concur on the excellent photos.

it is now 5pm and i still say hahaahahahahahahahahaahaha
I think $230/SF for the neighborhood as a whole is reasonable, especially top floor 2/2 @ 1,000 SF with outdoor space. The granite color and paint scheme are horrific. I would not be especially happy living on Kimball just south of Diversey and Milwaukee. That six corner intersection misses all the best parts of Logan Square and is loud.
I don’t think the sellers were advised. I would paint the whole place one color, B. Moore Stonehouse tan or something like that. There’s 5 or 6 colors in that place chopping up the rooms. The location is sort of “no mans land” at this intersection…and no parking.
I think if painted and staged better they would have had a better shot at $249K coming out of the box and cathching the first time buyer rush. I’ve written on new construction, elevator, larger two beds, two baths well under $250K at 3225 W Fullerton. There have been units catching better prices than this place for two, twos but usually closer to the Logan stop and Boulevards.
Pretty quiet for condos on that Avondale/ Logan Square border.

Really?
I don’t, especially near that particular intersection. This unit would’ve sold for 200-215K circa 2002. Does it have any appeal for the first-time homesucker at the current price? Doubtful. There’s too much other inventory in more amenable locations.
