We last chattered about this completely customized 1-bedroom in 21 W. Chestnut in the Gold Coast in October 2013. See our prior chatter here. If you recall, it had extensive built-ins in both the living room/kitchen and the bedroom which created a ton of extra storage space. This unit was also remodeled with luxury finishes. It had […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex at 39 E. Schiller in the Gold Coast in early July 2013. See our previous chatter here. But we had chattered about it several times before that, as it was a short sale and then was bank owned before being renovated and coming back on the market this […]

We’ve chattered about this 1-bedroom at 40 E. Delaware in the Gold Coast before. See our May 2011 chatter here. Back then, the unit was listed as a short sale and had carpeting and what looked to be original finishes in the kitchen and bath. It eventually went back to the bank which then sold it […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom at 1555 N. Astor in the Gold Coast in January 2012. See our prior chatter here. The unit was apparently two units that were combined so now it’s a full floor unit with 360 degree views of the lake and city skyline. The discussion centered around the low taxes, […]

Normally I don’t cover properties that are under contract already, but this vintage 4-bedroom unit at 10 E. Schiller in the Gold Coast is intriguing. We actually chattered about it the last time it was on the market in September 2008 in a post called “Lake Forest in the city”. See that chatter and pictures […]
