Sold for $1,250,000 this Lincoln Park "Don Erickson renovation" will be replaced by a three-flat

1850 North Sedgwick photo taken in January at the late end of the polar vortex. The property was sold in 2018 for $1,250,000. A demo permit was issued in February and a three unit new construction building is in the works.  The renovated house is a great example of the many fairly wild 80s renovations around Lincoln Park.

1850 N Sedgwick is located in an expensive area of East Lincoln Park. The single family home property on a 24'x125' lot sold in 2018 for $1,250,000.   ChicagoCityscape.com points out a new construction permit was recently issued to build a new construction three unit building with carport (you need an account to see what they are building). According to the listing the "architect Don Erickson" designed the gut renovation completed in 1987. It remained in tact by the same owner until the sale.

The housing on the 1800 block of North Sedgwick is a mix of vintage single family homes, frame multi-units, high-end newer construction houses and 60s-70s town homes. A 70s built town house recently sold on the block for $885,000 and dated single family home built in 1999 sold for $1,900,000 this year. Another home is currently listed for sale at $4,350,000.

Despite the high-end price tag the block scores low on shoveling!
