Looking for an Old Town Townhouse Priced Under $530,000? 205 W. Eugenie
This 2-bedroom townhouse at 205 W. Eugenie in the heart of Old Town came on the market in October 2019.
Built in 1978 on the corner of Wells and Eugenie, there are 11 units and parking.
The main floor has the living and dining rooms along with the kitchen.
The kitchen has wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.
There is a spiral staircase that takes you to the second floor, which has the two bedrooms.
The spiral staircase continues to the third floor which the listing says is a family room, den or third bedroom.
There are two outdoor spaces, a deck on the second floor and one on the third.
It has central air and 1 car parking.
Originally listed in October 2019 at $555,000, it has been reduced $30,000 to $525,000.
This complex is right in the middle of the Old Town action, near shops and restaurants.
And it has a rare parking space.
Is this a now a deal at $525,000?

Well, thankfully “Sproing” is gone but did expose a major weakness in this association that you would need to ensure was fixed and that is a lack of oversight / control over the commercial uses. I remember reading an article about a family with a baby living in one of these units and they could hear the instructors…..starting early in the morning with typical “3,2,1…” bonus the kid is probably great at counting down.
Nothing particularly screams “half a million here!” about this unit / finishes but to each his own I suppose. Great location.
I am also super confused – – is this even a 2BR? Is there a fully enclosed bedroom anywhere? hard to say from the pictures.
Also, you ain’t raising a kid in a unit with that staircase.
A lot of my friends grew up in 70’s era Lincoln Park townhouses. They haven’t aged well.
Surprisingly, the mid-century townhomes seem more attractive to me now.
This one closed for 569K back in 2017

Your friends or the townhouses? 🙂
That was quick.
“This one closed for 569K back in 2017”
It was renovated though. And that makes a big difference in 2019’s market.
“I am also super confused – – is this even a 2BR? Is there a fully enclosed bedroom anywhere? hard to say from the pictures.”
I believe there are two fully enclosed bedrooms on the second floor with a third “den” on the third floor.
Back up to 530k. Lol.
“Back up to 530k. Lol.”
I saw that. Maybe they suddenly got all this interest and the agent was like, “darn! I really should have left it at $530,000 because that’s what the price SHOULD be. I’ll just raise it and see if all these people now looking at it agree to pay the higher price.”
