Few teams understand Chicago’s high rise market like a Luxury Gold Coast Realtor Crystal Tran Team, and the recent sale at 190 E Walton Place, Unit 502, shows exactly why. Sitting at the border of the Gold Coast and Streeterville, this three bedroom plus den, two and a half bath duplex condo inside The Regent closed for $1,210,000 under MLS# MRD12297498. Built in 1996 and renovated in 2013, the roughly 3,016 square foot home impressed buyers with its two story ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and a rare sense of scale for a downtown condo. The Crystal Tran Team managed every step of the transaction, from preparing the home for market to negotiating the final terms. What made this listing stand out was its layout, a true duplex with a main level entertaining space and an upstairs primary suite that felt more like a private residence than a typical high rise unit, plus thoughtful touches like a hidden gas fireplace and included valet parking. The sale is a strong example of how a well prepared, well marketed listing can attract serious buyers quickly in today’s competitive downtown Chicago market.

Why Buyers Loved This Home

What buyers noticed first when touring this home was the scale. Two story ceilings and walls of glass flood the main living area with natural light, and the layout makes entertaining effortless, from the WOLF range and double dishwashers in the kitchen to the wet bar tucked just off the living room. The main level bedroom, currently set up as a media room, gave buyers flexibility to imagine the space as a home office, guest suite, or screening room depending on their needs. Upstairs, the primary suite felt like a private retreat, with heated marble floors underfoot and a deep soaking tub for unwinding after a long day downtown. Small design details, like the gas fireplace concealed behind custom millwork with a secret half bath door, added a sense of discovery that buyers loved pointing out during showings. Between the indoor parking, valet service, and weekly car cleaning, the practical perks of high rise living were just as appealing as the design itself. Buyers who worked with the Crystal Tran Team on this sale often commented on how clearly the layout was presented, from room by room video walkthroughs to detailed answers about the building’s amenities and monthly assessments. That level of preparation is exactly what a Luxury Gold Coast Realtor Crystal Tran Team is known for, and it helped this listing move efficiently from showings to a strong accepted offer.
