This 3-bedroom at 644 W. Sheridan in East Lakeview came on the market in August 2018. Built in 1913, it has 7 units and attached garage parking. Look at those carvings on the front of the building.

The Abbott Estate at 4605 N. Hermitage in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Uptown came on the market in February 2016. If it looks familiar, it’s because we chattered about it in 2010 after it had been on the market during the Great Recession years in 2009 and 2010. You can see our chatter here (where […]

This 3-bedroom penthouse loft in the Regal Lofts at 1735 W. Diversey in Lincoln Park recently came on the market.

You can see our 2008 […]

This 2-bedroom in a vintage walk-up at 816 N. Dearborn in the Gold Coast recently came on the market.

Built in 1891, the association has […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 2025 W. Chase in Rogers Park came on the market in July 2018. (Sorry- no picture, but Redfin has it as a “hot home” so I wanted to cover it quickly.) Built in 1911, it is on a wider than normal Chicago lot of 32×113 and has a 2-car […]
