South Loop 2/2 With Curved Living Room Sells: 1910 S. State
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1910 S. State in the South Loop in February 2011.
See our prior chatter here.
At that time, most of you were debating whether or not this address was really “south loop” or whether it was “North Chinatown.”
Listed at that time for $315,000, or $55,000 under the 2004 purchase price, no one had any guesses as to its ultimate sales price.
The unit just sold for $290,500, or $79,500 under the 2004 price.
As you recall, the unique feature about the property was the curved walls in the living room.
It also had 2 balconies.
The kitchen had the usual finishes from this era including stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.
The unit also had central air, in-unit washer/dryer and parking.
Ron Knoll at Saffron Realty had the listing.

That living room ceiling has a lot going on, doesn’t it?
Nice… but, I would have rather go with something like this for $90,000 less: http://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/1935-S-State-St-60616/unit-3/home/12673847
Jenny, who knows if the bank will accept that price across the street and those condos back up to the el tracks. I’d prefer this. I’m not surprised it sold for under $300k though.
Ahhh.. I can see why the other one sold for more if the one I mentioned backs up to train tracks.
It does…and I should have read faster..that 200k price does say it is approved. In that case, what you found isn’t a bad deal either.
My dog would love it if we lived here. He loves to go to Soggy Paws on the first floor of this building. Cool place to scrub your pup and get dog related stuff. Check it out!
Trying to furnish a small circle room is not as easy as it looks. Could be cool though. I’d say it finally sold a bit high for the area but wish the sellers well.
This one has much better view than the 90K less one (unobstructed north, north-west, span of the city) if the THs in Dearborn Park II don’t block it (doubtful as there’s a school in between). Hell of a sunset view if that’s the case. Though the other one is a great deal with all the windows and seems fairly reasonable finishes as well. Incidentally, is the Burger Joint (http://www.sloopin.com/2011/06/burger-point-is-new-joint-at-corner-of.html) opened yet in this building?
Arh, august-sept timeframe for Burger Joint,
“Four Bullet Points on The Burger Point
“We have four things on the menu: burgers, wings, chili, and fries. That’s it,” says Asha Mathew, who plans to open The Burger Point (1900 S. State St.; 312-933-7846) with her boyfriend, David Esterline, between mid-August and early September.
• Burgers. Diners can build their own one-third-pound griddle-cooked burger (chicken, turkey, and veggie patties are also available) and order it at in-store iPad kiosks. Or, they can select from predesigned specials, such as the Burger Point (roasted chili peppers, fried egg, smoked bacon, pepper Jack, pretzel roll), the Crunchy (American cheese, potato chips, French onion sauce, brioche), and the Jersey Shore (toasted pepperoni, homemade red sauce, fresh mozzarella, brioche).
• Wings. More than ten sauces will rotate seasonally, including original Buffalo, Three Mile Island (which is spicy), barbecue–honey mustard, and hot garlic.
• Chili. Original recipes for meat and veggie chili were created by Esterline. “David is an enigma,” Mathew says. “No formal training in the kitchen but an amazing talent for food. David is the mastermind behind most of this. Actually, all of this.”
• French fries. “We have a specialty fry. We call it a spiral fry on a stick,” Mathew says. It’s a whole potato, cut into spirals. Conventional sweet potato fries also appear on the menu.”
Hope they do as well it sounds as I like this area and visit friend there often.

Wow what a surprise! As if making burgers only required Cordon Bleu! Also who puts burger in a brioche?! Guess they are worried folks won’t get enough LDL.
jp3, thank you! I thought soggy paws closed, but I see now they just moved around the corner to Archer. 🙂
What whoah! I did not know that they moved either. I usually go to the one of the other locations.
I showed up one day ready to give our dog a bath and figured they closed. 🙁
