If this building at 353 W. Dickens in East Lincoln Park looks familiar, it’s because we chattered about the building in November 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back in November, it was a top floor unit with a “crow’s nest” which had a private roof top deck but few renovations. It was listed at $499,000 but […]
This 2-bedroom penthouse in 320 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview has been on the market since September 2012. Yes, it is a “real” penthouse. It’s on the top floor and it has a massive private terrace which has views of Lincoln Park and the lake. It was apparently the home of the architect who designed […]
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom coach house at 337 W. Armitage in East Lincoln Park several times over the past 20 months. See our April 2012 chatter here. Most recently listed in June 2011 for $500,000, most of you thought it was overpriced and would end up selling around $400,000. It was ultimately reduced to […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 4050 N. Paulina in Lakeview in March 2010. See our prior chatter here. The main discussion focused on whether or not this property was in the Graceland West neighborhood and not so much the price. Back then, it was subject to lender approval. It is STILL […]
We’ve chattered about this 8-unit vintage greystone building at 1849 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park numerous times over the years, especially the larger duplex downs. But this 2-bedroom top floor unit just came on the market. It has a unique living/dining/kitchen area that is almost loft-like with exposed brick walls and an exposed beamed ceiling. […]
We’ve chattered about this boutique loft building at 152 W. Huron in River North several times in the past. This 3-bedroom brick and timber loft has 4000 square feet on one floor which is larger than many single family homes. It has 13 foot high ceilings and a custom modern build-out. The listing calls the […]
We last chattered about this 6-bedroom new construction home at 550 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview in August 2012. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it was listed at $3.2 million and we debated whether or not a single family home could sell for that much in that location. Since then, the house […]
This 3-bedroom in The Eddystone at 421 W. Melrose in East Lakeview has been on the market since November 2012. [editor’s correction- it is NOT the penthouse.] The Eddystone was built in 1928 just before the Great Depression hit and halted construction of the luxury apartment buildings going up along the lake front. I believe this […]
We’ve been chattering about the low inventory for the last two months. Crain’s confirms that in some Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs, it is below 3 months. As of the end of 2012, the neighborhood with the lowest inventory level was the South Loop at just 2.3 months of supply. The number of listed homes fell […]
