I remember looking at these in the mid 90s. I was making less than 30K and living from paycheck to paycheck. I don’t think I would have even qualified for a mortgage especially since i didn’t have anything for a down payment.
A decade later however…:D
There’s another timber loft listed in Logan Square

There will only be two posts today due to the Halloween festivities. 😉
I’m guessing that there is a Halloween hangover? Was it too many candy bars and a hard sugar crash like my daughter or was it too many vodka pumpkin juice cocktails last night?
Seems like an unusual choppy space. Like the light in the winter but it must make it hard to cool in the summer. 23 foot tall ceilings and a huge skylight facing south or west could be tough.

Walk of shame from some featured property of Crib Chatter past?
I toured this unit in my home search about a month ago. It’s not a true 2 bedroom– the 2nd bedroom is on the main floor and has no walls. Does having no walls constitute as a bedroom?
I’m sure Sabrina partied the night away!
Nice pricing strategy — Price too high, subtract 20, add 10.
This looks more like a rental property to me. Perhaps converted 10-15 years ago and nothing has been done since.
I bet Sabrina went to her halloween party as Joe Zekas!
scary shit right there
I’m looking for something like this, but it has to be larger — we have a lot of stuff… Anyway it’s a little roughly appointed, but the ceiling height and light are very nice. Two of these units combined would be great.
