Crib Chatter

This 3-bedroom English brick single family home at 2925 W. Giddings in the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood of Albany Park has been on the market since May 2015. Like many homes in this neighborhood of winding streets, it is built on an irregular lot measuring 30x66x46x11x125. It is just a half a block to the Chicago River […]

This 3-bedroom vintage Spanish Mediterranean single family home at 5749 N. Manton in Jefferson Park came on the market in April 2015. What I love about Crib Chatter is that we continually see the same properties come on the market over and over again. We’ve actually chattered about this house twice before. Once in 2010- […]

This vintage 3-bedroom single family home at 1836 N. Lincoln Park West in Old Town recently came on the market. We last chattered about it two years ago, when it came on the market after a renovation. See our 2013 chatter here. If you recall, it has an old pedigree. It was built in 1876 […]

This 6-bedroom single family home at 1345 W. Wolfram in West Lakeview just came on the market. If it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it in September 2013. See that chatter here. If you recall, it’s on a rare double lot measuring 52×124.6 which allows it to have that other rare city feature: the 5 […]

This 5-bedroom Victorian Italianate single family home at 3945 N. Tripp in Old Irving Park came on the market in May 2014. But it may look familiar to many of you. It has been on and off the market since August 2007. We last chattered about it in June 2011. You can see that chatter here. Built […]

The kitchen has maple cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Two of the bedrooms are on the second […]

We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home at 1750 W. Grace in North Center numerous times over the years. You can see our May 2013 chatter here when it came back on the market after several years. We also chattered about it in 2008 which you can see here. In between, it was featured on […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom French Provincial single family home at 1642 N. Bell in Bucktown in October 2012. See our chatter here. Two years ago, the home had no furniture or window treatments. It didn’t sell. It’s come back on the market in 2014 with furniture and window treatments. Built circa 2006 on […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home at 2722 N. Wilton in Lincoln Park in August 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time it was one of the few Lincoln Park single family homes to be on the market for $500,000 or less. The catch? The brown, purple, red line El […]

This 2-bedroom farmhouse at 2734 N. Marshfield in Lincoln Park came on the market in September 2013. See our prior chatter here. If you recall, the farmhouse was built in 1870 but has been transformed into a contemporary loft-like space inside with a floating staircase. It has floor to ceiling windows in the back of […]
