Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom bungalow at 4050 N. Mango in Portage Park in May 2012.

See our prior chatter here.

It was listed as an estate sale and was being sold “as-is.”

If you recall, it was built in 1921 on an oversized 33×125 lot and was just 2 blocks from the park.

But it also had interesting choices of wallpaper and carpeting. The listing said there were hardwood floors under the carpets on the main floor in the living and dining room.

There was a full unfinished basement.

Two of the bedrooms were on the main floor and two were on the second floor with what looked like an enormous closet.

The house had central air and a 2-car garage.

Will we be seeing this house come back on the market as a complete re-do and priced in the $400,000s just in time for the spring buying season?

Cindy Weinreb at Coldwell Banker had the listing. I couldn’t find an old listing, but you can see a picture of one of the rooms on Curbed’s site here. Trust me, that should trigger your memories of what this house looked like inside.
