Raise Your Kids in This 3-Bedroom East Lakeview Townhouse: 3012 N. Waterloo

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 3012 N. Waterloo in East Lakeview came on the market in October 2011.

It’s had the same owner for the last 21 years.

Built in 1974, the listing says it has a “new kitchen” with oak cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.

The bathrooms have also been updated and now have granite counter tops. There are wood ceilings on the first floor, exposed brick and refinished wood floors.

Two of the bedrooms are on the third floor with the second bedroom and a family room on the second floor.

The townhouse has central air, an outdoor patio, and an assigned parking space. The listing says it’s in the Nettelhorst school district.

For the family that wants to stay in East Lakeview, is this an alternative to one of the large, vintage condos in the neighborhood?

Judith Kolar at Koenig & Strey Real Living has the listing. See the pictures here.

  1. Sorry about not being able to post any comments this afternoon. I’ve never seen wordpress do a “comments off” thing before. I didn’t think you can even do that.

    I re-posted it and it seems to be working now.

    Maybe this was a “sign” that I shouldn’t do 3 posts in a row about north side townhouses. 🙂

  2. I like this far more than the first townhouse today!

  3. I’m not sure if these are all identical, but I was in one of them a few years back and the 11′ on the family room made it feel really cramped. A couch takes up 3′ or so and then there’s only 8′ to play with, plus the windows are opposite, so if you want a TV in there (instead of the living room), it’s tricky.

    They were built around the same time (same developer, perhaps?) Similar exposed brick and wood ceilings.

  5. Yes, but updated to seem MUCH less claustophobic and dark. I found them very similar but greatly preferred this one…thus the comment. 🙂

  6. This unit looks like it’s just been renovated for sale by a speculator. More “Lowes” than “Home Depot” finish choices, but the generic “change out kitchen cabinets and countertops” renovation, hohum material finish selections, and slapdash staging suggests quick flip more than long-term prudent owner.

  7. I’ve seen this townhouse, and it looks really, really nice – warm, charming, with well done renovations. Speaking of Lowe’s quality – in my opinion, these owners did the right thing by choosing very nice but moderately priced finishes, as the house itself is small and does not pretend to be in luxury price range, especially with outdoor parking and very small yard, and it would not be smart to over -improve it. This, I thought, is an estate sale, and the house was in the same family for a long time. The quality of work seem to be very good too, not like flipper’s type. The drawbacks are in my opinion – small space on the main floor, a little too opened – lacks privacy, and the house is too vertical, I would prefer to have more space per floor. Otherwise, well done house, and this part of the street is nice and private.
