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?

Market Conditions: Luxury Sales on Record Pace as Luxury Rentals Lease Quickly

Those who bet against America’s biggest cities 2 years ago when the pandemic hit are looking rather foolish right now.

New York City rents have surged to all-time highs of $4,000 a month while home sales have rebounded in every major city.

In Chicago, both luxury apartments and luxury sales remain red hot despite the worst start to the stock market in decades and a city-wide rise in crime.

From Crain’s:

As of June 9, there have been 55 homes in the Chicago area sold for $4 million or more, according to Crain’s tracking of the upper-end market. In the six years prior to 2021, an average of 52 homes in that price range sold per year. In 2021, amid the pandemic era’s surge in homebuying at all price points, the $4 million-and-up category leaped to a record 101 sales.

The demand for upper-end homes is largely coming from “people in the financial growth phase of their life,” said Emily Sachs Wong, an @properties Christie’s International Realty agent. She represented buyers who on June 6 paid $5.8 million for a six-bedroom house on Burling Street in Lincoln Park. The house was on the market just 13 days before Sachs Wong’s clients put it under contract at $5,000 more than the asking price.

While declining to give any details on these buyers, Sachs Wong said the buyer pool she has witnessed in the high-end boom is people who “are proficient in their careers and making money and they don’t have a lot to wait for. Spend it now to upgrade to their forever home.”

It’s so hot that several $8 million properties sold before they were even listed.

According to Crain’s, if this sales pace continues, luxury sales will hit a new record of 124 this year.

Not all of those are in the city of Chicago, as Winnetka has been hot so far this year with 12 sales. In 2021, Winnetka only saw 9 home sales over $4 million for the entire year.

Luxury Apartment Leasing Fast

In luxury apartments, there have been some doubts about demand for the high-end buildings that have come on the market in the last 2 years, including One Chicago, the latest mega-tower.

One Chicago, in River North at the intersection of Chicago, Dearborn and State, has two towers. The shorter one is all rental and the taller one is a mix of luxury apartments and luxury condos.

Leasing began last fall for the shorter tower and in 2022 for the taller tower. Closings are just beginning on the luxury condos.

From Crain’s:

The first five condos at the 75-story One Chicago building have been delivered to buyers, setting a benchmark for new condo prices. That’s despite the new tower being a neighbor of a notorious, recent violent crime episode.

The sales, at prices ranging from about $2.29 million to $6.1 million, averaged out to $1,366.20 per square foot.

The 75-story One Chicago has 77 condos on its upper 30 floors. Below them and in a second tower on the site are 735 rental apartments. Letchinger said the rentals on floors below the condos are about 40% leased and those in the other 49-story tower are 90% leased.

Chicago’s rental market has tightened dramatically in the last year. Even a mega-tower like NEMA along Grant Park in the South Loop appears to only have a handful of available units to lease even though it has over 700 units.

Wolf Point East, one of the most popular buildings in Youtube apartment hunting videos, is giving away a half month free rent if you apply for an apartment in the next 48 hours.

It has 698 apartments and it looks like about 50 are available if their website is accurate.

Can anything slow Chicago’s red-hot luxury market?

High-end homes sold like crazy last year. The market’s even hotter this year. [Crain’s Chicago Business, by Dennis Rodkin, June 9, 2022]

Nearby crime aside, this condo tower is now Chicago’s priciest (Crain’s Chicago Business, by Dennis Rodkin, June 2, 2022]

 

Live on the Water in this 3-Bedroom Streeterville Townhouse: 436 E. North Water

This corner 3-bedroom townhouse at 436 E. North Water in Streeterville came on the market in May 2022.

Built in 1997, this complex has 56 townhomes tucked between the Chicago River and the Ogden Slip.

It’s best known for having a land lease, where you own the structure, but not the land. However, the listing for this townhouse says there is NO land lease with this townhouse.

“The land is owned, no land lease associated with property.”

The prior 2020 listing for this townhouse said it is only one of 4 corner townhouses with Ogden Slip/water views in the complex.

The listing says it’s “newly renovated” and has water views from every level.

The townhouse has three exposures and is “extra wide.”

It has new white oak floors throughout.

The first floor has a two car garage and a bedroom and full bath along with a brick terrace that overlooks the Ogden Slip.

The second floor has 11 foot ceiling and the living/dining room and kitchen along with a powder room and 2 fireplaces.

The “renovated chef’s kitchen” has blue/gray(?) custom cabinets, Brazilian Quartzite counter tops and Wolf and Subzero appliances along with a Subzero wine refrigerator.

The third level has the other 2 bedrooms, with one bedroom being lost in the recent renovation to create a huge primary suite.

The primary suite has a new Porcelanosa primary bathroom with built-in sauna, matching vanities, custom floor and shower tile and a walk-in-closet with 9 foot custom glass wall.

The second bedroom is also on the third floor and it is en suite and the bath has Carrera floors and bath tile.

Along with the brick terrace on the first floor, there are two other outdoor spaces including a south facing balcony off the kitchen and a rooftop deck, which is described as “new” in the listing, with 360 degree views of the city.

It has central air.

Bought in August 2020 for $1.412 million, it has been completely renovated and was listed in May 2022 for $2 million.

Buyers love “new.”

With all the time people are spending at home now, is living on the Ogden Slip ideal city living?

A 1,000 Sq Ft Private Terrace Overlooking Lake Michigan: 3200 N. Lake Shore Drive

This 3-bedroom penthouse in Harbor House at 3200 N. Lake Shore Drive in East Lakeview came on the market in June 2022.

Harbor House was built in 1967 and has 178 units and attached garage parking.

It’s a full amenity building with 24-hour door staff, an exercise room and pool.

If it looks familiar, that’s because we actually chattered about it in 2016 before it went through it’s big renovation. Many of you thought it could be cool if renovated so now’s your chance to see it.

See our 2016 chatter here.

This unit was updated after the 2016 sale but was also updated again by the current owner.

The chef’s kitchen has white cabinets and Miele and Subzero appliances. It used to have an island open to the rest of the space, but there is now a dining banquette. (See the prior listing pictures.)

The living room is still sunken, as it was in 2016, and there’s a library with built-in bookcases, all with views of the Lake.

The listing says all the bathrooms have been updated with “high quality” fixtures and the unit has custom doors.

The unit has a den/office which opens directly onto the 1000 square foot private south facing rooftop terrace which has been landscaped with 18 large irrigated planters with lighting, a fire pit, a dining area and a hidden lounge for reading or napping.

The terrace has a granite outdoor kitchen with built-in grill.

It has views east over the park and Belmont Harbor, west for sunsets and south for the skyline.

There’s also a few unique features with this unit including a private elevator that opens directly into the foyer and a massive 33×11 storage unit on the same level. See the prior listing for the floor plan.

It has the features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and 2 garage parking spaces, but I believe parking is rental in the building.

It has listed at $1.395 million.

Is this unit the Chicago penthouse dream?

1-Bedroom “Urban Chalet” is Back on the Market: 2011 N. Kenmore in Lincoln Park

This 1-bedroom duplex up at 2011 N. Kenmore in Lincoln Park came on the market in May 2022.

Built in 1893, this coach house is part of a 5-unit condominium association that includes the vintage building that fronts on Armitage.

This unit has no parking but there is a garage next to the coach house which is for the front part of the association.

This coach house is freestanding and the listing calls it an “urban chalet.”

It has wood ceilings and exposed brick walls.

The main floor includes the living and dining rooms, along with the kitchen, a half bath, washer/dryer and an office niche.

The kitchen has white cabinets, stone counter tops (a prior listing said was black limestone) and stainless steel appliances.

The unit comes with a working potbelly stove and an 84″ screen using the Optoma projector/home theater with Sonos sound system.

It has built-in bookcases and the listing says a “brand new” red oak staircase.

The bedroom is on the second level which has skylights, even in the full bath.

The listing says it has “newer” (within past 3 years) A/C, furnace and updated HVAC.

The unit has a Nest thermostat, smoke alarm and doorbell.

It has the features buyers look for including central air and washer/dryer in the unit. But it doesn’t have parking.

The unit also has outdoor space but it’s unclear how you access it from the pictures.

This unit is near the shops and restaurants on Armitage as well as the Brown line stop.

If it looks familiar that’s because we chattered about it numerous times in the 2010 to 2012 time period. One of those old listings said it “feels like Aspen.”

Many of today’s regulars chimed in when it finally sold in 2012.

Jenny: While this place has a lot of faults, I would still choose it over a similarly priced/sized condo. Not having to share a hallway is valuable.

jp3Chicago: Closed on Halloween. Seems appropriate as over time we will tell if it was a trick or treat!

Dan #2: Feels like Aspen? I’ll go along with that. And it looks like a place I’d love to rent for a one-week ski vacation (assuming it’s actually in Aspen, and is ski-in, ski-out). But to live in permanently? In an alley behind Armitage? Not for me.

anonny: Oh, yes, Aspen. I guess it is on the western slope of LP.

The 2012 buyer bought for $260,000 and sold in 2017 for $315,000 so buying in 2012 didn’t turn out too poorly even though many of the Chatterati were dubious. Over the years we chattered about it, many thought it should have sold under $200,000.

See our chatter here.

It sold again in 2020 for $325,000 and now, nearly 2 years later, is on the market again for $372,000.

Will this urban chalet condo sell at a new record high price in 2022?
