This 3-bedroom mid-century modern single family home at 5428 N. Virginia in Budlong Woods just came on the market. I don’t have a picture for it yet but I wanted to cover it immediately as it might not last on the market for very long. Built in 1951, it is on a larger than average […]

This 3-bedroom vintage single family home at 306 W. Concord in Old Town came on the market in September 2018. Built in 1896 on a smaller than average 24×94 lot, it has a 2 car garage. The listing said the house was “totally renovated” in 2006/2007. Additionally, a great room and master suite were added […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1652 N. Cleveland in Old Town came on the market in May 2019. Built in 1876, the listing simply says the lot size is less than .25 an acre. It’s unclear if it’s a smaller than average Chicago lot. Located across from St. Michael’s Church, it has hardwood floors […]

This 3-bedroom greystone at 657 W. Roscoe in East Lakeview just came on the market. Built in 1901, it’s on a 25×134 lot. Thanks to Micah for noticing that we chattered about it in 2009. Back then, it ended up selling for less than the 2002 price. The chatterati comments are interesting as we clearly […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1219 N. Rockwell in East Humboldt Park came on the market in October 2018. Built in 2011, it’s on a 24×126 lot and has a backyard and a 2-car garage. The picture above is not of this actual home. It’s the house at 1214 N. Rockwell, just down the […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 2200 W. Berwyn in the Bowmanville neighborhood of Lincoln Square came on the market in April 2019. (Sorry- no picture.) Built in 1907, on a standard 25×125 lot, it has a 2.5 car garage. The listing says the house has had a “complete gut rehab.” There’s new siding, windows, […]

This 2-bedroom single family home at 1445 N. Cleaver in West Town came on the market in early April 2019. [Sorry- I don’t have a picture of this property yet and the weather was too atrocious for me to get one- but since it was requested for a post, we’re chattering about it anyway.] Built […]

This 5-bedroom vintage Greystone single family home at 1142 W. George in Lakeview recently came on the market. Built in 1910 on a 25×124 lot, the listing says it was “converted” to a wide open single family so I’m assuming it was a 2 flat with a basement previously. The house has the layout buyers […]

This 6-bedroom contemporary single family home at 3540 N. Ravenswood in Roscoe Village came on the market in May 2018. Long time readers will recognize it because we chattered about it several times in 2011 and 2012. You can read our 2012 chatter here where we debated the pros and cons of having a basketball […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 3107 N. Honore in Roscoe Village came on the market in February 2019.

It has some unique features including a coffered ceiling in the living room. 3 of the […]
