Some of you have been chattering a lot lately about multi-unit buildings. This 1898 greystone 2-flat at 5207 N. Magnolia in the historic Lakewood Balmoral District in Edgewater has good vintage bones. The building still has the original woodwork, leaded glass and built-ins. The first floor unit is 2 bedrooms, 1 bath while the second […]
Thanks to the tipster who sent me information regarding this 4-bedroom American four square in Edgewater Glen at 1456 W. Norwood that went under contract within 2 days. The listing says the kitchen has been renovated with honed granite, Viking, Miele and Franke finishes. It also seems to have all the bells and whistles including […]
We haven’t yet chattered about The Aquitania, the 1923 co-op vintage beauty at 5000 N. Marine Drive in Uptown/Edgewater. Is this 1600-square foot 2 bedroom priced right for someone with “vision”? It has good bones. The unit has lake views and the listing says the kitchen was “redone” with frosted glass cabinets. Victoria Amoroso […]
We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom unit in the The Manor House, at 1021 W. Bryn Mawr, in Edgewater twice before.

Here’s the listing: Amazing 3-level 3 bed 2 bath in classic historic building. ‘The Manor House’ […]
The Park Tower, at 5415 N. Sheridan, is a massive condominium building built in 1972 with uninterrupted views of Lake Michigan. It is located across from Edgewater Beach. Recently there have been a string of foreclosures and short sales in the building. However, it’s a huge building. Current stats (out of around 730 units): 38 […]

This former Com Ed station at 1128 W.

This penthouse at 6030 N. Sheridan evoked much discussion back in May. The building was converted into condominiums in 2003. Penthouse 01 has a sunroom with a jacuzzi tub as well as a large terrace. Since we last chattered about it, it has been reduced $161,000. And now there are pictures of the 1000 square foot terrace […]
There are some lovely vintage properties in the Edgewater and Andersonville neighborhoods. 5812 N. Magnolia in the Magnolia Glen neighborhood of Edgewater is one of those properties. It was built in 1912, has a dining room and a sunroom, as well as parking and outdoor space. I doubt we’ll be talking about how long this unit […]
We last chattered about Catalpa Gardens, at 1122 W. Catalpa in Edgewater, in December 2007. Current stats for the building (out of 126 units): 58 for sale 1 for rent Most of those for sale are still from the developer. How do you flip in a building that is barely 50% sold? Unit #413: 2 bedroom, 2 […]
