Will Fulton Market Recover First? A 3-Bedroom Townhouse at 640 W. Fulton
This 3-bedroom townhouse in Fulton Court at 640 W. Fulton in Fulton Market just came on the market.
Built in 1999, Fulton Court has 48 townhomes with a center courtyard and a heated attached garage.
The picture above is one of the outside of the complex.
This townhome is 3400 square feet on 4 levels.
The main level has a family room, a private patio and a half bath.
The second floor has the living and dining room combination along with floor-to-ceiling bay windows.
The kitchen is also on the second floor but it is not an open concept.
It has wood cabinets, stone counter tops and stainless steel appliances along with a kitchen island that currently has 4 chairs of seating.
There’s also a half bath on the second floor.
The third floor has the primary suite which includes a bathroom and walk-in closet as well as a second bedroom.
The fourth floor contains the third bedroom, a full bath and a den/office which also has a custom buit wet bar with wine fridge and an attached private oversized roof deck.
The townhouse has hardwood floors throughout.
There’s a gas fireplace in the living room.
It has central air and an attached, heated 2-car garage.
There is little residential housing actually IN Fulton Market, so the adjacent neighborhood has been marketed as being part of Fulton Market.
This neighborhood had been one of the hottest in the city pre-Covid.
Will it be the first downtown neighborhood to rebound?

“Will it be the first downtown neighborhood to rebound?”
Why would such a HAWT market need to recover/rebound? You’ve been whining about how HAWT the market is setting records every month. Is this a shill psychological tool to convince buyers to buy now or be priced out for ever?
Is rebound defined as owning for 4 years and not seeing any capital appreciation?
Really odd that there’s not much for photos of the RTD/patio by this or the ’17 seller
WTF is up with the fridge? They get it at a scratch and dent?
Floor plan would be helpful as the pictures seem put together haphazardly
Not bad but at $1.1MM Chad and Trixie and the Millions and Millions of Groupon millionaires want new, and this needs updates at this price point. A unit with older finishes sold for $636k in Nov. This one doesnt have $450k in upgrades. $900k
90% of the appeal of living in Fulton Market is proximity to the office.
I don’t see this market recovering to peak levels if most companies allow for more flexible remote work options post COVID.
“There is little residential housing actually IN Fulton Market, so the adjacent neighborhood has been marketed as being part of Fulton Market.”
The street in front is signed as “Fulton Market”, switching to “Fulton St” east of Des Plaines.
The city gives the building a “Fulton Market” address.
The assessor calls it “Fulton St”.
Deed sez “Fulton St”.
The Trib’s stupid map call it “Fulton River District”.
Redfin calls it “Fulton River District”.
Eyeball test sez “Fulton Market” is entirely west of the Kennedy, and this is “Fulton River District” or, perhaps, “River West”.
To the unit:
$1.1m, for 20 year old finishes, except for the kitchen cabinets which were updated without changing the fridge panel?? Really??
Between the crazy fridge door (but hey, it’s still a lot nicer than mine) and the fact that two of the three bathroom pics show smooshed, nearly empty TP rolls, it seems the area, whatever it’s called, is done for.
So many words used to describe where various rooms are. That’s a big block of verbiage that could be replaced with a floor plan.
Nice enough. $1.1M seems high, but it is a LOT of space in a decent location.
I assume they ordered a new door skin for the 36″ SubZero? Why would the agent include that photo or list the unit without a new door skin? That is the first thing EVERYONE is going to notice….
Also, the owner doesn’t have one picture of the terrace in the summer to provide the listing agent? The only glimpse of the terrace is a photo of the office and a snowbank on the terrace.
Seriously, people are so dumb.
Hawt area for carjacking!
So lemme understand….at some point someone *purposely* re-did the kitchen with those hideous darker cabinets but left the panel-front door on the fridge in the *much more attractive* lighter shade? WTF?
Who are you paying for this cheeap-azz lack of attention to detail . . . current owner or one prior? IMHO this is crack pipe pricing but then again I don’t like the places where all the outdoor spaces are connect to / immediately adjacent and contiguous with everyone else’s outdoor space.
That vacuum cleaner attached to the wall in the kitchen screams million dollar home. Seriously, no space in a closet for it? Too cheap-azz / lazy to hire an electrician in the event the closets didn’t already have outlets?
This much bland anonymity for just $1.1 million? Where do I sign up?
“Redfin calls it “Fulton River District”.”
Agreed anon(tfo).
There’s little to no housing actually IN Fulton Market which is west, across the highway.
So they created this adjacent district as part of it. It IS called this on the realtor’s websites. It was good marketing and it has stuck.
There are two or three residential buildings actually IN Fulton Market but now that the city council has changed the zoning to allow residential there, it’s about to get much better.
They HAD to do it.
Why do you only want commercial and hotels there? It’s awful on the weekends. Completely dead- like the old Loop used to be 20 years ago before the condos came in.
You need residential to have a living neighborhood with energy.
The pandemic hit at just the right time to squash the commercial developers so they have to let the residential in there now. Ha ha. One of the good things coming out of the last year.
“Hawt area for carjacking!”
You would know HH. Don’t you live just a few blocks away- hanging out at the bar at the Jewel which isn’t even open due to covid?
Nice place for a family, but pretty sterile and charmless.
Too bad the most attractive window in the house is in the kitchen, which seems a little dated for a place at this price. .
Why do people keep calling open floor plans, open concept? If it hasn’t happened it is a concept or an idea.
