Trying To Sell A Vintage Coach House 2-Years Later: 1845 N. Halsted In Lincoln Park
Some of you might remember this 3-bedroom coach house at 1845 N. Halsted in Lincoln Park from when it was on the market in 2010 and 2011.
It’s actually a unique property which is more like a vintage townhouse than your typical coach house.
The coach house is in the back of the property but there’s a side drive which gives it more of a townhouse/single family home feel. (You can see the coach house just to the right of the main building in the picture above.)
This property is on three levels.
The first floor is the living room and dining room with an open kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
The family room, third bedroom and a new bathroom are in the lower level.
The master bedroom and the second bedroom is on the second floor.
It has central air and a parking space.
In 2010 it was listed for $590,000 and sold for $549,000 in April 2011.
This time it is listed for $579,000 but the market has improved since 2011.
Will it get the premium this time out?
Robert Safranski at @Properties has the listing. See the pictures here.

there is a floorplan floating around for this place.
considering the parking space is this really worth 160k over the kemper house?
Might be a good transitional home for a young couple moving out of a condo, but with not quite enough money for a true SFH. It’s really the best of both worlds for someone like that. You get the benefits of both condo (in that there is some shared upkeep of the area), but you also get to have some of the appearance of a SFH and the neighborhood feel of LP. It kinda reminds me of my Transitions lenses, in that way. They are both regular glasses AND sunglasses since I wasn’t quite ready to buy prescription sunglasses and I didn’t want clip ons. In addition, this place looks pretty cool, and likewise so do my Transitions.

This is a cool looking place. I’m surprised it dropped so little between 2007 and 2011 though. The only thing I dislike is from the photos it looks like the windows are near the ceiling which makes it feel like a garden. I’m not sure it truly is that way in person though.
