We last chattered about this 3-bedroom Sears Roebuck home at 6721 W. Hurlbut in Old Norword Park in October 2010. See our prior chatter here. Back in 2010 it was listed at $674,900 and most of you thought it was overpriced. If you recall, it was constructed in 1925 on an oversized lot measuring 45x150x50x150. […]

We’ve been chattering about this 4-bedroom single family home at 5692 N. New Hampshire in Old Norwood Park for several years now. See our February 2013 chatter here. It is still on the market and has been reduced another $86,000 to $889,000. Another million dollar listing just down the street at 5719 N. New Hampshire that […]

We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom new(er) construction single family home at 5692 N. New Hampshire in Old Norword Park several times over the last few years because it originally came on the market in 2009. See our 2011 chatter here. It was 5-bedrooms in its last listing and I can’t figure out what happened to […]

This 4-bedroom farmhouse at 5655 N. Newcastle in Old Norwood Park came on the market in September 2012. Built in 1919, it is on an enormous 50×231 lot with a 1.5 car garage. The listing says the house has been owned by generations of the same family for 80 years. It also says you can […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom American four square at 5820 N. Newark in Old Norwood Park in March 2012. See our prior chatter here. The overwhelming consensus was that it was a “nice home”, “spectacular” and “best home ever featured on CC.” But it only has 1.5 baths. And THAT was a problem for […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom brick ranch at 5646 N. Nottingham in Old Norwood Park in March 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back in March, it was priced at $220,ooo and most, if not all of you, thought that was a decent price for a house in a neighborhood considered safe and with […]

This 5-bedroom single family home at 6139 N. Northcott in Norwood Park (does this qualify as Old Norwood Park in this location?) has been on the market since February 2012. Built in 1904, the house is on an oversized lot measuring 49×202. There’s a chef’s kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The […]

When you think of Old Norwood Park, you may think of a house like this American Four Square at 5820 N. Newark. Built in 1890 on an oversized 78×193 lot, it has retained much of its vintage details including stained glass, crown molding and wood doors. Yet it also has modern conveniences like central air and […]
