We last chattered about this 2-bedroom brick cottage at 2124 N. Stave in Logan Square in March 2010. See our prior chatter about the neighborhood, the state of the market and the house here. It has since been reduced by $11,000. The listing says the house has a sound proof recording studio. It also has pine, oak and bamboo […]
You wouldn’t be living in anything cookie cutter in this 4-bedroom mid-century modern brick ranch at 1310 Brassie in south suburban Flossmoor. Designed by famed architect Bertrand Goldberg in 1957 (he designed River City and Marina Towers in Chicago), it has many unique features for fans of the mid-century modern style. The home has stunning […]
We’ve chattered about the distress sales in 10 E. Ontario in River North numerous times over the past few years.

I missed the sale on this 2-bedroom fee simple townhouse at 1616 N. Larrabee in Lincoln Park. We had chattered about it several times last year as it kept getting reduced.
