Bucktown and Wicker Park seem to be hotbeds of contemporary architecture in the city such as this 4-bedroom single family home at 1746 N. Wood which was built in 2003. It is currently listed for $201,000 less than the 2003 purchase price. Do these wide-open contemporary layouts sway some vintage lovers? Jeff Lowe at Prudential […]

Looking for a Vintage Bucktown Brick Cottage? 2110 N. Hoyne

We’ve been chattering about a bunch of Bucktown homes lately. This 1891 brick cottage at 2110 N. Hoyne recently came on the market. The listing says it was renovated less than 5 years ago and the study can be converted into a 3rd bedroom. Is this vintage cottage listed for under $600,000 a “deal” for Bucktown?

Condo Alternative in this Vintage Cottage? 2343 W. Moffat

This 1893 vintage 2-bedroom cottage at 2343 W. Moffat in Bucktown (or is this Logan Square?) looks like it has been recently renovated. Is this a condo alternative? While it’s only 1504 square feet, it has a two car garage and you don’t have to deal with anyone living above or below you. It’s also recently been […]

Bucktown Bank-Owned McMansion Reduced $910K: 2322 W. Charleston

It’s back! We chattered about this new construction McMansion home at 2322 W. Charleston in Bucktown (along with its next-door-neighbor twin, 2324 W. Charleston) nearly a year ago.

We Love Authentic Lofts (with private rooftop decks): 1701 N. Damen in Bucktown

This authentic brick and timber loft at 1701 N. Damen in the heart of Bucktown is one of those buildings that was converted in the early 1990s, back when lofts were meant to be big and spacious and have things like spiral staircases to rooftop decks. Since we love authentic lofts AND private roof top […]
