“As you can see from the pictures, it hasn’t been renovated. There is carpet throughout”
The kitchen isnt from ’97. White tile in kitchens sucks. Spending $20k on flooring and some Bathroom upgrades would help this place out a ton.
The flooring, no in unit W/D and the assessment
Whomever buys this will need to want an indoor pool
Should be
The flooring, no in unit W/D and the assessment are a problem at this price point IMO
$4700+/month to live in this bland shoebox with the pleasure of having to pay extra for parking and use shared laundry. $1858/month out the window before mortgage and a slew of other fees just to move in and simply use what few perks the building has. Fail. Complete fail.
@Elliot – but but LINCOLN PARK!
And its a tiny 3 bedroom. only 1,576 SF.
Yup – -carpet, coin laundry, cheap finishes elsewhere. Total utter Fail. The fabulous views are in no way just compensation for wasting part of your day keeping an eye on your laundry.
I sold a similar sized unit 2 blocks down the street (but fully gut-renovated) 1.5 years ago for $100k less… all cash in 30 days. Back out the cost to renovate a kitchen, 2.5 baths and flooring/electric/walls/doors….. I’d say this place is not selling b/c its overpriced by $200k. It’s a headache when renovating a high-rise unit in the city.
Assessment is not outrageous given the square footage and age the building. The dated finishes and coin laundry would still make it a deal breaker even if 200k is deducted from the asking price.
It’s a good place for Jan Terri. Cold Old Style anyone?? Time for Cubbies!!!
