Love Contemporaries? This 4-Bedroom In West Town Is For You: 1819 W. Race
This contemporary 4-bedroom single family home at 1819 W. Race in West Town has been on the market since June 2011.
Built in 2006 on a smaller than standard 48×90 lot, it makes up for the small lot with a 2000 square foot roof top deck with a hot tub and skyline views.
The house has bamboo floors and electric shades.
The kitchen has modern cabinets, stainless steel and granite counter tops.
At 5647 square feet, 3 of the 4 bedrooms are on the second floor with the fourth in the lower level along with a media room.
Recently reduced $95,500, can this neighborhood command $1.5 million sales prices?
Jennifer Ames at Coldwell Banker has the listing. See the pictures here.

Double lot and a neighborhood that’s heating up. I’m going to guess $1.3MM.
WOW.
This place is spectacular.
Nice place, not my style.
I very much like the house, still seems rich though.
Love it. It is beautifully done. I am not a fan of the neighborhood, but plenty of people seem to be.
“Built in 2006 on a smaller than standard 48×90 lot”
A 48×90 lot is considerably larger than the “standard” 25×125.

Yup, and provides for a MUCH more interesting floorplan than the standard Chicago bowling alley layout.
Was two 24×90 lots before being combined.
yes Love the wider lots, this place is awesome, but it probably sells in the 1.25mm range
Eh, don’t like the way the kitchen is placed and how it doesn’t flow at all into the main space. Also glass blocks make me vomit. Other than that it’s pretty nice though. Too conservative for my taste though like that boring beige tile in the bathrooms that every shittastic new condo has too.
the only problem with a wide, but less-deep lot is that essentially the only “backyard” space is on the roof of the garage. I looked on Google maps view & the building & garage fill almost all of the space. Also it backs up to a commercial stretch on Grand.
That said, I think the architecture, finishes, layout, etc. are all great.

That is the drawback of Race and parts of Ohio St in this hood. It’s also a great neighborhood in general, but less so on Race since the lower property values attract lower income neighbors. If this place was on a 50×125 lot on Erie or Huron then $1.5mil no problem.
Very nice home! It is sad though that it fills up the entire lot. For this price, I wish they had put it on three lots instead of two.
Yes, the short lots on the south side of Race that share the alley with Grand Ave businesses are among the least desirable sites in West Town. They always have been and only bubble mania could negate this fact.
ditto Bob 2.
1- If I had those railings. I would have to have a pet monkey.
2- If you ever have to put a TV over the fireplace, I can now say it will look like absolute crap if they are the same size.
3- hi miu.. all well?
Need to come down another 18-20% for this to be worth the price in the neighborhood. Pretty run down neighborhood at that.
