This Vintage 3-Bedroom Has It All Including 2 Bathrooms: 2817 N. Orchard in Lakeview
This top floor 3-bedroom at 2817 N. Orchard on the Lakeview and Lincoln Park border (near the new Trader Joes on Diversey) recently came on the market.
It is a rare 3-bedroom vintage unit that also has 2 full baths (usually they have just 1 bath.)
Some of its vintage features remain including crown molding, an antique fireplace mantle and built-ins in the dining room.
This was a 2007 conversion so it has all the newer finishes. The kitchen has granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances with newer cherry cabinets.
The unit also has central air, washer/dryer in the unit, a balcony and an outdoor parking space.
It came on the market listed $15,100 under the 2007 price at $429,900.
Will this sell for over $400,000?

Looks to be the first resale of this 2007 conversion.
It’s a pretty apartment. Rehab was done tastefully, kept the picture rail, ducts are not too intrusive, all in all an attractive condo.
For 90 years this was available as a nice rental apartment affording not only comfortable shelter but also basic life flexibility to its occupants, as well as income to its owner. In 2007 that all was blown to smithereens.
$380 minus $20,000 for cornice crime equals $360.
It’s got everything except a good street. This is a narrow street that doesn’t get much sunlight. And two doors down is the huge, concrete eyesore of the main parking garage for the Century. Across the street is a soulless modern apartment building with a large brick wall facing the street.
Obviously, this is a good location geographically, but I lived in this neighborhood for many years and never liked this section of Orchard.
really small
9×10 for a bedroom… I know it’s common across Chicago, but seriously.
Nice place.
I don’t like this place. Too small, too dark.
Trying to list this time of year + back to back open house days + sunday open house while bears are playing (at home at that) = desperation. Like 15yr old boy at a fadhion shoot desperation.
“Will this sell for over $400,000?”
No.
Beautiful unit with everything except as Dan said a nice street. With how nice it is and the desperation that Bob stated, I am sure this will sell fast. I’m not sure at the price though, I think $400k seems reasonable, but if the sellers are desperate, they may take anything they can get.
Nice place. It’s got everything (new, parking, balcony, location). I think the price is ok around 390
I would expect a price drop after no one shows for the open house this weekend .
On another note, man am I happy I do not own any property that starts with the C word (condo)
$340K.
