We last chattered about this new construction 5-bedroom single family home at 3251 N. Lakewood in Lakeview in December 2010.
See our prior chatter here.
In December, many of you loved Jennifer Ames’ pictures of the property but thought it was overpriced above $2 million.
Since that last chatter, it has been reduced another $130,000 and is now listed under $2 million at $1.995 million.
The brick and limestone house was built in 2009 on a standard 25×125 Chicago lot.
The listing says it has an extra wide 20 foot interior.
4 bedrooms are on the second floor with the 5th in the lower level.
It has luxury finishes including millwork, moldings and a mahogany library.
The house has a 2-tiered deck and a 2-car garage.
Will this new price finally make the sale?
Jennifer Ames at Coldwell Banker still has the listing.

Maybe you should think about keeping your eyes closed for a few more months, maybe.
