After 300 days, Eddystone condo nears 2006 price

Unit 2C at 421 W Melrose St, ChicagoOn May 19, the three-bedroom / three-bath Unit 2C at The Eddystone, 421 W Melrose St, entered the market at $579,000. Three hundred days and four reductions later, it stands at $499,000. Will anyone show some interest before it drops another $1,000 and reaches its June 2006 sale price?

Kathy Murphy of Baird & Warner says the 2,100 square-foot home offers “yesterday’s elegance for today’s lifestyle,” and features original moldings, herringbone floors throughout, a living room with a large bay window, and 9-foot ceiling heights. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry, a family room features built-in shelves, and all three bedrooms have en-suite baths.

The home has in-unit laundry, and has been upgraded with new windows, electric, and plumbing. Residents have access to a roof deck with city and lake views, and parking is available.

2009 taxes are $5,671, and monthly assessments are $1,295, covering heat, water, gas, common insurance, door staff, cable television, exercise facilities, exterior maintenance, and snow removal.
