Vintage in an Unusual Place: A 3-Bedroom at 2734 N. Mildred in Lincoln Park
This 3-bedroom at 2734 N. Mildred in Lincoln Park came on the market in August 2015.
The building was built in 1938 and has just 4 units.
It looks like it was converted to condos only as recently as 2009.
It’s in an unusual location, as most of the older vintage buildings are usually found closer to the lake.
This unit has many of its original vintage features including crown moldings. It has built-in bookcases in the living room along with built-in glass cabinets in the dining room.
There’s also a hand carved marble fireplace.
The kitchen, however, is completely modern, with dark wood cabinets, granite counter tops which extends to the back splash, and Viking and Bosch appliances.
The master suite has a spa bath.
There’s 2 private decks and garage parking.
It also has the modern amenities buyers look for including central air and washer/dryer in the unit.
At 2066 square feet, this full-floor unit is as big as many nearly townhouses or duplex downs.
Will it get close to ask?

“Will it get close to ask?”
I think so. Not the greatest LP location(and not just by unicorn standards), and those assessments are bound to go up (maybe a lot?). But it’s a very nice place, with a garage. (I see they have a twin bed – presumably these are empty nesters and that’s for the occasional grandkid visit? Can’t imagine they’ve actually raised a small kid in the place with that nice white couch and chair.)
“Hey honey, what color curtains should we get?”
“ROYAL. BLUE.”
“Hey honey, what color curtains should we get?”
The curtains don’t have to be there when you move in. That’s the beauty of them. You can take them down and replace them.
Absolutely gorgeous apartment with a lot of space and covered parking. Not THE top location in Lincoln Park, but still a very good location, convenient to retail and the Brown Line el. I know this block of Mildred Ave well, and it is a nice, quiet block.
I have a feeling it will sell close to the ask price.
I like this unit and location a lot but I doubt it will sell until it’s priced better, i.e. take 50K off and start from there.
25K price reduction. Not where it needs to be but getting warmer.
