6 Months Later, 3 Bedroom Mies With Lake Views Still Available in Lakeview: 340 W. Diversey

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom in the Mies Van Der Rohe high rise the Commonwealth Plaza at 340 W. Diversey Parkway in Lakeview in February 2012. See our prior chatter here. Many of you liked the unit but thought there was just too much furniture and/or the paint colors were too distracting. But there […]

This Wicker Park 2-Bedroom Rowhouse Seems To Have It All: 2010 W. Potomac

Why live with someone above or below you when you can buy a 2-bedroom rowhouse like this one at 2010 W. Potomac in Wicker Park and never hear anyone walking overhead again? The rowhouse was built in 1997 but there are no dimensions given for the lot in the public listing. It has a much sought after […]

Get a 320 Square Foot Junior 1-Bedroom For Just $39K in Buena Park: 4240 N. Clarendon in Uptown

We’ve chattered about nearby studios on “sale” but this junior 1-bedroom (studio?) at 4240 N. Clarendon in the Buena Park neighborhood of Uptown is priced just as low. On the market since December 2011, it appears to be a short sale (though it doesn’t say that in the public listing.) The building was built in […]

3-Bedroom Ukrainian Village Authentic Loft Reduces 6%: 612 N. Oakley

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex up loft in The Village Lofts at 612 N. Oakley in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood of West Town in May 2012. See our prior chatter here. (And yes, all we did was argue about what sub-neighborhood of West Town it is.) If you recall, it has exposed brick […]

Historic Carl Street Studio 2-Bedroom Triplex Returns To Try Again: 155 W. Burton in Old Town

We’ve chattered about this unique 2-bedroom triplex in the historic Carl Street Studios at 155 W. Burton in Old Town several times before including, most recently, in May 2011. See our May 2011 chatter here. It has been on and off the market since September 2007, when I first started this blog, with no luck. […]

Are Some Sellers Getting Too Optimistic? A 2-Bedroom at 535 N. Michigan in Streeterville

This 2-bedroom at 535 N. Michigan right on the Mag Mile in Streeterville recently came on the market. It is a rare 2-bedroom unit (as the building has more 1-bedrooms.) At 1000 square feet, it is a southwest corner unit with views of the Wrigley Building. The building was built in 1962 and is a full […]

Looking For a Cool Loft? Check Out This 2-Bedroom at 1728 N. Damen In Bucktown

This 2-bedroom loft at 1728 N. Damen in Bucktown just recently came on the market. The lofts in movies or on television are always these big expansive spaces with high ceilings and multiple levels. Yet, it’s always so hard to find one of those properties in “real life.” This 3000 square foot loft just might […]

3 Years Later, the Bank Finally Owns This 7-Bedroom SFH at 1111 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park

We’ve chattered about this new(er) construction 7-bedroom single family home at 1111 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park several times over the past few years including last July when it was listed as a short sale. See our July 2011 chatter here. After a lis pendens was filed all the way back in April 2009 (that […]

What Do You Get In Your Million Dollar+ House in Bridgeport? 3300 S. Normal

  I’m not sure if this 5-bedroom single family home at 3300 S. Normal in Bridgeport is on or off the market. It looks like it might have been withdrawn yesterday. But it has been on and off the market since January 2008 so I’m still going to post about it. Built in 2006 on […]
