Want to Live Near the 606? A 2-Bedroom Loft at 1737 N. Paulina in Bucktown
This 2-bedroom top floor loft at 1737 N. Paulina in Bucktown just came on the market.
It has the loft features buyers look for including timber ceilings and exposed beams and brick and large industrial windows.
Because it’s the top floor unit, it has a skylight in the kitchen for extra light.
The kitchen has custom modern dark cabinets, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a subway tile backsplash.
Both bedrooms have windows, which is rare in most lofts, and one of the bedrooms is fully enclosed.
A spiral staircase takes you upstairs to the second floor den with a wine bar and a private rooftop deck.
It has central air, washer/dryer in the unit and gated parking.
The building, with 27 lofts, is just steps away from the new 606 trail.
This unit hasn’t been on the market in 15 years. The neighborhood has basically completely changed in that time period.
Will this loft be under contract this week?

The 606 is very popular with buyers. It is one of Chicago’s hidden gems. Property values will rise because of the 606. The city should build 606 type of trails throughout the city and property values will be booming for eons. Thank God for such wise city planners.
