Another East Lincoln Park vintage grey-stone will be torn down. 438 West St. James Place was purchased in 2019 for $2,200,000. A demolition permit was issued at the end of last month and I noticed the fences up yesterday. I do not see any building permits yet for the address. The 33'x146' lot size with RM-6 would allow for a large new construction home. I could also see a high-end four-flat developed here.

The home is adjacent to a large multi-unit to the west and the Mansueto mansion garage entrance to the east. 

The vintage grey-stone was fully renovated circa 2000. The desirable lot sits between the vintage multi-unit building to the west and the newer build Mansueto mansion to the east. Here's a post I did about that house and the area in 2015. The house was sold to Dio Realty LLC... I'm a bit surprised Mansueto did not buy the property (assuming Dio Realty is not associated but I could be wrong).

The Mansueto mansion takes up half the block.

East Lakeview row homes get new neighbor after $851,000 tear-down

627 West Surf on the left is a new construction three unit building on a very desirable East Lakeview block. The former property was a red brick three-flat building sold for $851,000.

This new construction three-unit condo building caught our eye due to the location and great looking architecture on the block.  We took a look at public records and found the previous brick three-flat rental building at 627 West Surf was purchased for $851,000 and torn down.  The new building is near completion. The immediate neighborhood near the lake is full of classic East Lakeview vintage charm.

The new condo building just listed a couple units (by broker KoenigRubloff). The four bedrooms, three and one -half baths duplex down at 627 W Surf St Unit 1, Chicago, Illinois 60657 is listed at $1,199,000. The middle unit two bedrooms, two and one-half baths unit #2 is listed at $749,000.  No MLS listing for the top floor duplex unit with roof deck at this time.
