This 3-bedroom in Riverbend at 333 N. Canal on the Near West Side came on the market in May 2018. Riverbend was built in 2002 and has 149 units and parking. It used to have unobstructed views directly down the Chicago River but the development of Wolf Point with apartments and office space, has impacted some of […]

This 2-bedroom on the 68th floor of the John Hancock at 175 E. Delaware in the Gold Coast came on the market in June 2018. Yes, I’m still calling it the John Hancock until they announce the new name. Built in 1969, it has 703 units and rental parking. It’s a full service building with […]

This 2-bedroom loft in the Epicenter Lofts at 1000 W. Washington in the West Loop came on the market in September 2018. (Yes, this is an awful picture and I need to get a new one. Sorry! It’s old.) The Epicenter is a brick industrial building constructed in 1882. It has 178 units, a doorman and a […]

This 2-bedroom in a vintage walk-up at 816 N. Dearborn in the Gold Coast recently came on the market. If it looks familiar, though, that’s because it was on the market for several months earlier this year and sold in May 2018. We didn’t chatter about it back then, however. Built in 1891, the association has […]

This 2-bedroom in the Grand Ohio at 211 E. Ohio in Streeterville just came on the market. The Grand Ohio was built in 1984 as apartments. It’s a full amenity building with 595 units, an indoor pool, a basketball court, tennis courts and an exercise room along with a parking garage. It was converted into […]

There are now dark wide plank floors throughout. The kitchen has white cabinets, a backsplash, white countertops, stainless steel appliances and a kitchen island. The bathrooms have subway […]

This 5-bedroom single family home at 1217 N. Cornelia in Southport came on the market in February 2017. Built in 1906 on a 30×125 lot, it was formerly a 2-flat that was completely renovated into a single family home, including with new water and sewer. It has the layout that buyers like, with 4 out […]

This 3-bedroom duplex up at 600 N. Kingsbury in River North just came on the market. It was on the market last year and sold in September. But it has now been “fully renovated” with a new kitchen with Italian cabinetry, Italian quartz counter tops, Subzero and Wolf appliances and a wine refrigerator. There are walnut […]

This 2-bedroom in the Heritage at 130 N. Garland across from Millennium Park in the Loop just came on the market. But some of you who have been looking in the Loop might recognize it as it was on the market in the spring. Apparently, it was bank owned and for sale via auction. It […]

This 2-bedroom duplex up loft at 1137 N. Wood in the East Village just came on the market. If it looks familiar that’s because we chattered about it twice last year. You can see our first chatter in July 2015, when it was priced at $500,000, here. That chatter kind of went off the rails […]
