There’s only one other Wicker Park three-bedroom property priced lower than this 1,800-square-foot duplex unit on Paulina.

The listing notes that major mechanicals such as the furnace, central air unit, and water heater have been recently replaced.

1648 W. North Avenue #2, $435,000

Here’s another three-bedroom unit, but this time you’re looking at a single-level floor plan. You’ll find an open living room and kitchen space towards the front of the unit, while the master suite and outdoor balcony is located in the back. Two vehicle parking spaces are included and the $150 monthly assessment is certainly manageable.

There’s a lot to like about this sunny three-bedroom. Located in an 19th century Bohemian brick flat that oozes curb appeal, the first-floor walkup unit features a large arched front window and other vintage finishes.
