Refined City Living in a 3-Bedroom Old Town Townhouse for $1.165 Million: 210 W. Scott
This 3-bedroom townhouse in Old Town Square at 210 W. Scott in Old Town came on the market in September 2025.
Built in 1999, Old Town Square has 59 townhouses and a central courtyard.
This townhouse is on a 20×60 foot print.
The listing describes it as “refined city living.”
For those of you who are fans of bathrooms on each floor, this townhouse has that layout. It has 2 full bathrooms on the third floor and a half bath on each the first and second floors.
The first floor has a rare attached 2-car garage and a sitting room/family room.
The second floor has a living/dining room combination with a wood burning fireplace. There’s a small balcony off the living room.
The kitchen is a separate room. It has white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. There’s no island but there appears to be room for one, or a table.
The third floor has all three bedrooms including a primary suite with a remodeled en suite bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in-shower.
There’s also a second full bath.
The laundry is also on this floor.
The townhouse has central air and a rooftop deck which the listing says is a “peaceful outdoor escape” with impressive city views.
The listing says that all the major mechanicals have been updated in “recent years.”
Old Town Square is near the shops and restaurants on Wells and the Gold Coast. Buses and supermarkets, including Aldi and Jewel, are nearby.
Listed at $1.165 million, is over a million dollars the new price for a townhouse in Old Town?
Philip Skowron at Compass has the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.

Actual living space is ~2000
also…
the priumary bed is small, and the other two are *tiny*. The digital bed in pic #18 is apparently ~4.5′ long, being ~50% of the width of a less than 9′ wide room.
primary bath reno looks decent, the other two are straight ’99 builder grade.
Kitchen is pretty nice, but is a size tweener–it’s pretty big, but not really biug enough (with the two doors) to fit a good island in.
No one actually likes a half bath directly in the kitchen.
Fireplace takes up a lot of SF and pretty much dictates the furniture layout in an otherwise spacious combo room.
April 2000 for $540 + CPI = $1.02m
Sept 1999 for $356 + CPI = $686k
99 price was surely pre-con pricing, and $540 closer to the (then) fair value. Feels like they priced in the bath and kitchen updates on top of the inflated PP, and it’s (IMO) a bit of a stretch–tho would be fine (probably even a good deal) for 2400 sf PLUS garage, instead of 2400 INCLUSIVE OF garage.
“Actual living space is ~2000”
Thanks for the clarification. It seems small based on the three bedroom sizes. It would be usual to have 1 bedroom that is 10×9 but it has two that are that small.
This place makes me sad. I guess it might “check all the boxes” for some family but it has no character or wow factor at all. It’s a featureless stack of rooms, next to another, next to another. These types of homes were built for people who want to keep up with the Jones’ and not stick out from the heard. Dull.
Similar layout to what I’m looking for (except combining those 2 small bedrooms). Rooftop view is solid too.
The biggest issue is the riff raff to the west with the public/subsidized housing. Not the best area, while Well is of course great.

It’s mostly townhouses to the west. And that area has changed a lot in the last 15 years. It’s not what you think it is anymore.

Agreed. between Sedgwick and Hudson still continues to blow chunks.
“It’s mostly townhouses to the west.”
Evergreen Terrace, Evergreen Tower, and the Marshall Field Homes all got replaced by townhouses since last week?
Crazy!!
“Evergreen Terrace, Evergreen Tower, and the Marshall Field Homes”
Those areas are still bad news

Depends on if you want to be near Wells or not. This townhouse is near two grocery stores and steps away from Starbucks. The one on N St Michaels Ct is not.
