This 4-bedroom single family home in BaseCamp SFH at 3646 N. Kenneth in Irving Park came on the market in November 2022. (Sorry, I don’t have a picture of this house but I DO have a picture of the Lincoln Park waterfall.) If you recall, BaseCamp SFH was a development of 48 single family homes […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 4165 W. Berteau in Irving Park came on the market in May 2019. Built in 1924 on an oversized 24×174 lot, the listing says it’s the “historic Warnesson-Dressler” home. But I couldn’t find anything on Google about Warnesson in Chicago or any info about the house. Does anyone know […]

This 5-bedroom Victorian Italianate single family home at 3945 N. Tripp in Old Irving Park came on the market in March 2019. But if it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it several times between 2007 and 2014 when it was on, and off, the market. See the 2014 chatter here. If you recall, […]

This 5-bedroom single family home at 3635 N. Hamlin in Irving Park came on the market in May 2019. While on the map it appears to be in the Villa District, a historic neighborhood, this house is on the east side of the street which is filled with homes built in the last decade. So […]

This 1-bedroom in the Kedvale Castle at 4215 N. Kedvale in Irving Park came on the market in July 2019. Best I can tell, this building was constructed in 1928 and has 38 units and no parking. It is called the “Kedvale Castle” by the locals due to, well, it looking like a castle. This […]

We last chattered about the “Castle on the Kennedy”, the 5-bedroom new construction house that looks like a castle at 3721 N. Parkview Terrace in Irving Park, in May 2010. See our May 2010 chatter here. Back then, it was listed at $1.89 million. While everyone agreed that it was too high for the neighborhood, […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 3637 N. Sacramento in Irving Park has been on the market since September 2012. Built on a standard Chicago lot of 25×125, it has new windows and air conditioning as well as a new door on the 2-car garage. The listing says the house has an “updated kitchen” with […]

This 5-bedroom single family home at 3828 N. Albany in Irving Park has been on the market since July 2012. This is a rehab of a bank owned home. The listing says it is “euro-style.” Built in 1902, the 2800 square foot home is on a standard 25×125 lot. There’s also a 2.5 car garage. […]

We chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage house at 3902 N. Central Park in Irving Park several times over the years as it has been on and off the market since 2009. See our June 2012 chatter here. In June, after several more price reductions, we chattered about how low the price would go before it […]

We’ve chattered about this 5-bedroom single family home on a double lot at 3625 N. Springfield in the historic Villa neighborhood of Irving Park several times. See our June 2012 chatter here. Last June, after it had reduced to $899,900, some of you thought it should list anywhere from $750,000 to the lower $800,000s in order […]
