Want a Loft with a Big Private Deck? A 2-Bedroom at 1158 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park
This 2-bedroom loft in the Hedman Lofts at 1158 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park came on the market in July 2019.
The Hedman Lofts was converted into condos in the late 1990s. It’s an elevator building with 14 units and a parking garage.
It’s an authentic industrial building with exposed brick and concrete ceilings along with large industrial windows.
This loft has 11 foot concrete ceilings and exposed ductwork and brick.
Both bedrooms have fully enclosed walls as well as windows, which is rare for a loft.
The master suite has a large walk-in closet.
The listing says the loft has a newly renovated gourmet kitchen with light gray cabinets, quartz counter tops, a Carrara marble backsplash, all new Bosch appliances and a farmhouse sink.
It appears a new mantel and surround were also put on the fireplace since the last sale.
The unit has Restoration Hardware lighting throughout.
If you’re looking for private outdoor space, this loft also has an enclosed 350 square foot patio.
It has all the other features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and rare tandem 2-car garage parking.
This loft is right in the heart of the Armitage street shops and restaurants and is an easy stroll to the brown line.
It’s also near the North/Clybourn shopping corridor with the Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.
Originally listed at $699,900, it has been reduced to $675,000.
Is this the time when everyone who still hasn’t gone under contract this summer reduces their price to get a sale done this year?
Annie Schweitzer at Compass has the listing. See the pictures here.

Simple reasons why it’s not under contract: It’s cramped, dark and every window looks into a brick wall. Very disappointing after seeing the exterior. I was hoping it would have a big window looking out onto the street. Outdoor space is cramped, as well. You’re paying for location with this one.
This has been reduced to $649,900.
