This 3-bedroom at 521 W. Roscoe in East Lakeview recently came on the market. At 3,000 square feet, it has the large rooms which are the tell-tale signs that it’s a vintage unit. It appears to be the top floor unit. Built in 1925, it has crown molding and some built-in bookcases as well as […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 2157 W. Division in West Town about a year ago, in May 2012. See our prior chatter here. If you remember, at that point, the unit seemed to be developer owned and had been on and off the market for 5 years. The building is a 6-unit elevator […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but a lot of properties that we’ve chattered about in the past several years or which have simply been on the market off and on are returning to the market to try again. This 2-bedroom at 1117 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park is one of those. It was on […]

Two units in this six unit new construction building at 1215-1217 W. School in the Southport neighborhood of Lakeview just came on the market (although the listing says it’s in East Lakeview). They have only put the two middle units on the market so far. They are: 1215 W. School Unit #2: $489,900 1217 W. […]

This 2-bedroom in Newberry Plaza at 1030 N. State Parkway in the heart of the Gold Coast restaurant district came on the market in October 2012. It’s not your vanilla 2-bedroom unit. The listing says it has $300,000 in high end upgrades. The kitchen has custom cabinets, stone counter tops and some stainless steel appliances. […]

Amidst all the excitement about the hot housing market, it’s easy to forget that foreclosures are still ongoing. This 2-bedroom in Grand on Grand at 200 W. Grand in River North recently came on the market. It is bank owned. Built in 2005, it has 1250 square feet. According to the Redfin agent who left […]

This 1-bedroom at 2550 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park just came on the market. This is a large one-bedroom with 1164 square feet (although the listing does say 74 square feet is outdoor space.) The listing says it faces north. It has oak floors in the main living areas. The kitchen has modern cabinets with a […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 3440 N. Lawndale in Avondale just came on the market. Previously bank owned, it has now been gut rehabbed and “everything” is new. The prior listing said the original house was built in 1895. It’s on a standard 25×125 lot and has a 2 car garage. It has wainscoting and […]

This 3-bedroom vintage coach house in Gaslight Village at 809 W. Oakdale in Lakeview came on the market in February 2013. If it looks familiar to long time Chatteratis it’s because we actually chattered about its twin, Coach House East, in 2010. See our chatter about CHE here. Back then, the sister coach house was […]
