SoNo, the new construction high rise at 860 W. Blackhawk in the Clybourn Corridor (aka, west Lincoln Park), is the lastest development to cut prices in order to sell units. Thanks to the tipster who sent me pricing information on the units. Prices are being cut by 16-20% and the sale starts this weekend. If anyone […]
We chattered about this renovated 3-bedroom greystone duplex at 3816 N. Fremont in Lakeview several times since it first came on the market in February 2008. It was listed for re-sale only 7 months after being purchased in 2007. See our prior January 2009 chatter here where we debated why someone would sell only months after […]
Amidst the high rises that dominate the River North neighborhood, there are still remnants of the area’s past including 55 W. Erie, a 9-unit brick vintage building. This 2-bedroom top floor unit has been completed rehabbed but this is no cookie-cutter rehab. The kitchen, which is a massive 26×13, has an oversized stone island, a Wolf range and […]
This 1914 greystone building at 80 E. Elm in the Gold Coast exudes vintage charm on the outside. But the interiors of this 2-bedroom unit are purely modern with a DeGuilio kitchen and Waterworks baths. Two vintage wood burning fireplaces remain to remind you of the building’s history. There’s also a private entrance to this […]
This 4-bedroom single family home at 2427 N. Marshfield in west Lincoln Park has been on (and off) the market for nearly 2 years. It has also been following the market lower as it has now been reduced $354,000 from its original list price in July 2007. The house is also now listed just $9,000 over […]
This 3-bedroom garden unit at 4335 N. Mozart in Irving Park has loads of space. It is also bank-owned. It has parking, central air, washer/dryer in the unit and low assessments. Is this a “deal” at this price? Matt Garrison at Coldwell Banker has the listing. See more pictures here. Unit #1: 3 bedrooms, 2 […]
Remember this new construction single family home at 1220 N. Damen in Wicker Park that was bank owned and missing its bathrooms? See our prior chatter and pictures here. It quickly found a buyer and closed for $100,100 over the list price. Was this a steal? 1220 N. Damen: 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 2 car […]
We chattered about this 3-bedroom re-sale in the boutique Case Study building at 156 W. Superior in River North several times. See our original chatter from September 2008 and the pictures here. There was quite a debate about the property in February 2009. Read the comments here. It had an elevator directly to the 3000-square […]
20 N. State in the Loop was converted into lofts in 2003. There are many different layouts in the building but the top floor units have 18-foot concrete ceilings and lovely authentic brick walls. This 1-bedroom makes good use of the high ceilings by duplexing up and creating, essentially, a den or dining room […]
