Lincoln Park Week: 3 Fireplaces and Parking in Old Town: 1814 N. Lincoln Park West
This 3-bedroom at 1814 N. Lincoln Park West in the Old Town neighborhood of Lincoln Park came on the market in June 2022.
Built in 1890, this building has 4 units and rear parking spaces along with extra storage.
We’ve chattered about this building several times over the years as various units have come on the market because they are bigger than what they appear when you just look at the building.
The listing says it has had a “meticulous and significant” renovation but still has its vintage features like crown moldings, door and window moldings and ceiling medallions.
It’s a rare condo that has 3 fireplaces, one in the living room, one in the dining room and one in the family room, which appear to be gas starters.
The kitchen has white cabinets, a white farmhouse sink, what looks like stone counter tops, stainless steel appliances and an island with seating for 2.
There’s a family room off the kitchen and an office/den next to the living room that overlooks the street.
The primary bedroom is en suite with a walk-in-closet and the bathroom has a walk-in-shower.
The unit has the features buyers look for including space pak cooling, washer/dryer in the unit and a rare, for Old Town, 1-car outdoor parking space behind the building.
The listing says the building has new windows and the roof gets checked annually.
It’s located in the heart of Old Town, near all the shops and restaurants, as well as the activities of East Lincoln Park including the zoo.
It hasn’t changed hands in 17 years.
Listed at $890,000, compared to new construction in the neighborhood with similar square footage, is this a deal?
