One Price Adjustment for this One Bedroom

This bright, spacious one bedroom unit sits a block from Lincoln Park and is full of unique finishes and flourishes. An archway off the entry hall introduces the living room which has a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit. An extra-wide archway on the other side of the room delineates the dining area from the kitchen with its honeycomb saltillo-tiled floors, marble countertops, glass subway tiled backsplash, open shelves at the corners, and glass shelves mounted in front of a deep window. The angular bedroom has four windows and an archway framing a triangular bonus area with two closets, and the bathroom houses laundry and linen closets. The listing price was dropped by $14,100 before the unit went under contract about two weeks after hitting the market.
