This one bedroom unit at 437 W. Aldine in East Lakeview has been on the market for months. It seems to have everything buyers would look for in East Lakeview: Vintage? Check. Spacious? Check. Washer/dryer in the unit? Check. Deeded parking spot? Check. The only thing missing is central air, but window units are accepted […]
We’ve chattered about some enormous spaces in older vintage buildings before. This 2-bedroom unit in 3750 N. Lake Shore Drive, a 1926 vintage building in Lakeview, isn’t as spacious as some of the others, but it’s not exactly “small” either. It is 1600 square feet and here are the room sizes: Living room: 25×14 Dining […]
We last chattered about 1111 S. Wabash in the South Loop in January 2008. The building started closing on units in 2004. In January, there were 2 three-bedroom units on the market and one was priced under $400k. They aren’t large, only 1200 square feet, but they’re still 3 bedrooms. Here are the room sizes […]
There are balconies and patios on city residences and then there are terraces. This penthouse unit at 444 W. Belmont in East Lakeview is one of those terraces. Built in 1928, the building has 13 units. Unit #7B has central air but no parking (leased parking is available nearby.) But who cares about parking when you have […]
This penthouse at 6030 N. Sheridan evoked much discussion back in May. The building was converted into condominiums in 2003. Penthouse 01 has a sunroom with a jacuzzi tub as well as a large terrace. Since we last chattered about it, it has been reduced $161,000. And now there are pictures of the 1000 square foot terrace […]
In November 2007, we chattered about this Tuscan-inspired renovated single family home at 2965 N. Sheridan in Lakeview. It was withdrawn from the market. It has recently been re-listed and is now reduced $520,000. If you recall, it has a neat atrium in the middle of the house (but there are no pictures of the […]
We’ve chattered about the modern new highrise at 1720 S. Michigan in the South Loop before. CMK, the developer, is still trying to sell units in the building, which began closings in the Summer of 2007. This two bedroom unit caught my eye. It’s the cheapest two bedroom that has two full baths. Here’s the listing: 2 bedroom, […]
A third-floor two bedroom duplex vintage unit was recently on the market at 1434 N. Astor in the Gold Coast. (This is a different unit from the vintage greystone at 1331 North Dearborn we recently chattered about). After being listed a few months, a tipster told me it recently sold. But did it? It has now been re-listed […]
