This 2-bedroom vintage unit at 3534 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview just came on the market. It is bank owned. The building was built in 1924 so this unit has the pre-war features like tall ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, generous room sizes and a big entry foyer. The kitchen has white cabinets and […]
We haven’t chattered about The Marquee at 1464 S. Michigan in the South Loop in awhile. The building started closings in 2008 just as the housing bust was beginning. This 2-bedroom on the 7th floor recently came on the market. This is one of the east facing corner units with the larger corner terrace. It has hardwood floors […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom coach house in the Gaslight Village at 809 W. Oakdale in April 2013. See our previous chatter here. In April there was a lot of talk about the taxes being nearly $15,000 for a property in an attached building that is part of a condo association. The coach house […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom penthouse loft at 3133 N. Lakewood in Lakeview in June 2013. See our previous chatter here. At that time, it had come on the market for $110,000 more than its 2010 purchase price at $710,000. Some of you thought it was overpriced. It is still on the market and […]

We’ve chattered about this 1-bedroom at 40 E. Delaware in the Gold Coast before. See our May 2011 chatter here. Back then, the unit was listed as a short sale and had carpeting and what looked to be original finishes in the kitchen and bath. It eventually went back to the bank which then sold it […]
This 1-bedroom in 2500 N. Lakeview in East Lincoln Park just came on the market. At 900 square feet, it is east facing so it DOES have Lincoln Park and lake views. Given that the building was built in 1974, the unit has some interesting features including teak herringbone cherry floors, crown molding and French […]
We’ve been chattering about this 2-bedroom top floor unit in 919 N. Wolcott in West Town on and off since 2010. See our May 2011 chatter here. If you recall, this is a Ranquist development. The unit had been converted from a 3-bedroom to a 2-bedroom but it also had two outdoor spaces including a private […]

The listing calls it a 3-bedroom but also acknowledges that it might really be a 2-bedroom plus den (with French doors opening to the den and/or bedroom). It has exposed brick throughout and the original church windows. […]
