Two rental showings at the lakeshore east

kristine — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:11:00 +0000

Yesterday I had two showings at the lakeshore east, they were both at the 420 E Waterside building. Both are one bedroom units, one is facing north east and the other one is facing southwest. They were both very nice, the one faces north east has the best view of Navy Pier and the Chicago River. The one faces southwest has a view to the lake and the new Lakeshore east park. Both has balconies. My client prefers the southwest facing one as it is larger which has around 824 square feet and the asking price is $1,700. The building offers great amenities including gym, indoor pool, party room, grill, sun deck and so on.

Just sold! Two bedrooms at the Harbor Point – 155 N Harbor Dr unit 5008

This unit has great views to the lake, the Navy Pier and the north shore line. Since it got windows on the curve, it make the views more dramatic. The listing price was $575,000 and reduced to $565,000. And the sold price is $537,500 which is 95% of the asking price. So that means the building is still holding strong, plus I have tried very hard to sell it at a very good price! There are two similar units sold in the building recently unit 2808 sold for $590,000 and unit 5408 sold for $599,000, these other two units were not my listings, they had different upgrades, such as open kitchen, nicer cabinets, wood floor, or reconfigure of the bedrooms. Anyway, the 08 units are still very good units, my clients are very happy with this sale! If you have a unit interested to list with me, please feel free to contact me!

How far is Buckingham Fountain from Navy Pier?

I noticed one web site visitor found our site when searching for “how far is buckingham fountain from navy pier?”? Well, I’m sure they did not get the answer from here – BEFORE NOW! Yes, now we are going to divulge this information for free on the Internet so everyone can know just “how far is buckingham fountain from navy pier”. Below is a map I created using MapPoint 2009 showing the approximate walking path one would take going from ____ to _____. 1.5 miles. I’d estimate a thirty minute walk assuming a leisurely 20 minute mile pace. Or an hour and a half round trip with time for an ice cream. Click on the image below a couple time to see the full screenshot. It’s too wide and doesn’t quite fit the layout of this web site.

Walking Path from Buckingham Fountain to Navy Pier

Showing at the Park Shore, the Chandler, the River East and the Park View

kristine — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:03:56 +0000

I did some showings yesterday morning, three two bedrooms at the park shore, actually two of them are 2+dens, the unit 2408 and unit 808, these two are both very nice units facing north east with great views to the Navy Pier, the lake and the north shore line. These two units have around 1,300 square feet, both has wood floor in the living room. One has a valet parking space and the other one does not. The asking price is $499K (the one with the valet parking) and $449K( the one does not have the parking). My client also saw unit 4305, which is nicely done and remodeled! This unit is facing south with the view to the columbia yacht club and the grand park. The asking price is $465K with a valet parking space.

Then we went to Chandler to see unit 908, my client’s comment is that they have nice master bedrooms and bathrooms, but the living room is too small. But they do like the finished of the condo. They like the nice kitchen too!

At the River East, we saw two units, Unit 3701 which is a foreclosure unit, it has very ugly carpet and paint. The bathrooms and kitchen are very basic, not maintained very well. The asking price is $451K. The other one is unit 2204, this one has better carpet, view and nice kitchen and bathrooms. The asking price is $489K.

At the end we went to the sales center of the Park view, the 505 Mcclurg Ct. We saw two two bedrooms unit with view to the north. They are giving 10% discount now. which is new as when I was there a couple of months ago and asked for any discount, they mentioned that there is no discount:-)

My client has not made up their mind yet, they said that they like a lot of them!

Showing three one bedrooms unit at the 512 Mcclurg

kristine — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:26:43 +0000

I showed three units at the 512 Mcclurg last Sunday. They are all one bedroom units, tier 11, 12 and 06. I can’t believe how beautiful view the 06 unit has, it has completely lake view from the living room and the bedroom, this view is permenant too as only the Chicago Spire is going to block some of the lake view, but I am sure even to look at the Chicago Spire is a kind of neat. This unit 3606 we saw has around 965 square feet with wood floor through out, granite kitchen and bathroom, lots of closet spaces. The bedroom size is very large, even with a california king bed and some other furnitures in it, it still has lots of room. The monthly assessment fee is $420, which includes Heat, Air Conditioning, Water, Common Insurance, Doorman, TV/Cable, Exterior Maintenance, Lawn Care, Scavenger, Snow Removal. Very nice location with lots of restaurants nearby, walking distance to michigan avenue, the lake and the beach. This building was built in 2002, so everything is new, I really like this building.

This two plus den is a very nice unit at the parkshore, it has brazilian wood floor, new appliances, around 1,300 square feet. The price has dropped to $449,000. This is really a great price for such a unit in this nice building. This unit has great view to the Navy Pier, the lake and even the Buckingham fountain. I am sure this price is going to sell in any time soon. This unit does not come with a parking space but you could rent from other owners or to purchase a parking space from other owners.
