2-Bedroom Free Standing Coach House in the Gold Coast for $1.1 MIllion: 1234 N. Dearborn
This 2-bedroom free standing coach house at 1234 N. Dearborn Parkway in the Gold Coast came on the market in July 2023.
Built in 1903, this is a 6 unit condo association with a small, luxury condo building in the front, and this free standing coach house in the back, which became condos in 1998.
There’s no parking or amenities.
The main floor has polished concreted floors, 12 foot timber beam ceilings, exposed brick walls and a gas fireplace.
There’s also a small office space under the staircase and a powder room.
The first floor has a “chef’s kitchen” with wood cabinets, Viking range, dual dishwasher, what looks like a farmhouse sink, tumbled granite countertops and a peninsula with seating for 3.
The second floor of the coach house has the two bedrooms. The primary suite has a spa bathroom with steam shower and skylight.
There’s also a second en suite bedroom.
The listing also describes an “escape room” with a back exit thru a secret wall but doesn’t show pictures.
It has features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit but there’s no parking.
It has a garden in front of the coach house and this is what the 2020 listing said about it:
“The newly finished blue-stone terrace adds privacy and serenity to entrance to the home year-round and is large enough for dining, grilling and lounging with family and freinds. NOTE: Only 2 of the 6 units at the building enter through the south entrance. The terrace is rear is common, but day to day, only the units in the rear use it as other units have terraces facing south and rear decks for griling.”
The coach house also has a rooftop deck that is apparently accessed by an outdoor spiral staircase, but there’s no pictures of it.
This building is near the shops and restaurants of Rush Street and Division Street as well as the Jewel and the Aldi supermarkets.
Listed in July 2023 for $1.2 million, it has been reduced $100,000 to $1.1 million.
This is still $300,000 above the 2020 sales price of $800,000.
Is this now priced to sell?
