This 2-bedroom vintage bungalow at 5214 N. Larned in Jefferson Park recently came on the market. It is bank owned and listed at just $154,900. Built in 1924, it has hardwood floors and a full finished basement but only 1184 square feet. There is also central air and a 2-car garage. However, the listing doesn’t […]
This 3-bedroom at 1929 W. Irving Park in North Center has been on the market since October 2011. (It is the vintage building in between the two new construction buildings in the picture above.)

This 2-bedroom townhouse in River Village at 932 N. Crosby in River North/Gold Coast??? (what neighborhood is this?) has been on and off the market since September 2010. It is now bank owned but the bank can’t sell it. Listed in mid-December for $324,000, the bank recently threw in the towel and cut the price […]
We last chattered about this renovated 1910 Georgian mansion at 53 E. Division in the Gold Coast in September 2010. See our prior chatter here.

As someone recently pointed out on the 2011 N. Kenmore thread, this 2-bedroom at 1024 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park (which is in the same association as the Kenmore coach house) came back on the market.

We first chattered about the Chess Lofts at 320 E. 21st in the South Loop in June 2008 when the loft conversion building had just started closings.

But nearly 4 years later, the foreclosures keep […]
