We last chattered about this 3-bedroom full floor condo at 1142 S. Michigan in the South Loop in May 2008. See our prior chatter here. Nearly 2 years later, it has now been reduced by $500,000. There are only 8 units in this boutique mid-rise building. Unit #5 is 3800 square feet and has 2 home offices […]

It is not that common to run across 3 bedrooms plus 3 full bath units like this one at 1125 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park. Especially at a price under $600,000. At 2400 square feet, and a duplex-up, the unit feels more like a single family home. Built in 1999, it has two private decks […]

Many buyers dream of living in East Lakeview in a unit like this 2-bedroom at 522 W. Oakdale. This property has all the bells and whistles buyers look for: central air, in-unit washer/dryer and the highly coveted deeded parking space (not an easy find in this dense neighborhood.) It also has 2 marble baths and […]

This 3-bedroom unit at 5622 W. Wayne in Andersonville came on the market in late February 2010 and has already gone under contract. It was a new conversion in 2007. At 1800 square feet, it is nearly the size of many single family homes. The unit has crown molding and 2-panel doors. There is also […]

Thanks to the reader who pointed out that this 1 bedroom plus den duplex loft at 1128 W. Ardmore in Edgewater is still on the market and has now been reduced again. We last chattered about this unit in June 2009. See our prior chatter here. This building is a former Com Ed substation and […]

30 W. Erie in River North is a newer construction building which started closing on units in 2007. The 11 story boutique building has 20 units, with only 2 units per floor. Each of the units were 3-bedrooms. This 3-bedroom unit on the 7th floor has been on and off the market since September 2008. It […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1354 W. Webster in Lincoln Park is under contract after first coming on the market 11 months ago. We’ve chattered about it several times including last October where we somehow discussed ARMs. See our prior chatter here. It hasn’t been reduced since we last chattered about it 6 months […]

This 2-bedroom duplex unit at 1115 S. Plymouth in the South Loop has a townhouse feel but it’s a condominium. It’s rare to get true private outdoor space in a condo unit, especially at this price point, but this duplex has a 21×13 brick and landscaped private terrace off the first floor. The listing says that […]
