This 4-bedroom Block Y townhouse at 28 S. Throop Parkway in the West Loop came on the market in September 2023. (This picture is not one of this particular unit but it is some of the townhouses in the complex.)

At least 3 have sold this year. I guess rare is a lot like unique
This is 2000sf lol. The plans even list the sf
The exterior is terrible
Looks like $1.2MM is for an updated unit. Owners don’t like upgrading, ergo this should sell at a significant discount
For allowing that TP in pic 16, the broker should donate half the commission to a charity that provides TP to the disadvantaged.
This end-unit that sold in July looks to have a fair amount of updating:

Got $1.05m…as an end-unit, with an Apr-05 prior sale at $658k.
Are these all the developer’s original finishes? These folks are high as a kite. Not an end unit, not updated….$850K-$875K is my guess. They would still be doing quite well.
“Are these all the developer’s original finishes?”
Unclear. But appears to be so just based on what was “in” back in the early 2000s.
“The exterior is terrible”
I love the exterior. In fact, this whole complex is outstanding, especially the central courtyard and the 2-car garages. Lots of greenery and trees.
This is my favorite townhouse development in the West Loop.
“At least 3 have sold this year. I guess rare is a lot like unique”
You have to understand listing lingo. When it says “rarely available” they sometimes mean the said property. And since this property hasn’t been on the market in 17 years, that would make it “rarely available.”
I’m not feeling well this week. It’s probably nothing but I’m not going to post anything tomorrow.
See you Thursday.
Boy is it SLOW out there. Whew. Could be slower sales than 2011.
