We’ve chattered about this terrace unit in the Churchill, at 1255 N. State Parkway, in the Gold Coast several times over the past few years. We watched it sell in November 2007 and then come back on the market again. See our most recent chatter and pictures here. It’s been reduced another $15,900. It’s also now listed […]
This 4-level rowhouse at 112 W. Oak in the Gold Coast is on the market as a residential property or as a commercial structure. It is zoned as live/work. Not much of its vintage features remain on the inside (from what the pictures show) except the fireplace. But it’s got a Gold Coast address and space in […]
The listing says that 1258 N. Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast is one of only 4 single family homes that still exist on Lake Shore Drive. The house was built in 1895 and received a City of Chicago landmark designation in 1989. It has four fireplaces and a huge rooftop terrace overlooking the lake. […]
This 1914 greystone building at 80 E. Elm in the Gold Coast exudes vintage charm on the outside. But the interiors of this 2-bedroom unit are purely modern with a DeGuilio kitchen and Waterworks baths. Two vintage wood burning fireplaces remain to remind you of the building’s history. There’s also a private entrance to this […]
Remember the bank-owned Gold Coast coach house that we chattered about several times in 2008 at 1234 N. Dearborn? After over a year on the market and numerous price reductions by the bank, it finally sold for under its 2000 purchase price. Did someone get a deal on this property? To refresh your memory- check out the […]
We’ve chattered about the co-op units in this Andrew Rebori 1923 building at 40 and 50 W. Schiller in the Gold Coast several times before. They just don’t build them like this anymore. This top-floor duplex 2-bedroom unit was recently renovated, including new wiring, plaster and hardwood floors throughout. The unit has a space pac cooling system. Additionally, […]
Remember our favorite bank-owned Gold Coast coach house at 1234 N. Dearborn? See our October 2008 chatter and pictures here. It’s not too late to own it. The bank has reduced it $105,000 since May 2008. It’s now listed $50,000 below the 2000 sales price. Is this finally a “deal”? A.D.S. Realty now has the […]
Buying and renovating vintage homes isn’t something that is done only in gentrifying neighborhoods. Take this 1887 John Wellborn Root Queen Anne mansion at 1308 N. Astor in the Gold Coast. Bought in 2006, it has been extensively rehabbed with a new kitchen and baths. Look at those floors! First listed in May 2007, it […]
We’ve actually chattered about this 1-bedroom terrace unit at The Churchill, at 1255 N. State Parkway, in the Gold Coast twice before. The first chatter was in September 2007. The kitchen counters were blue tiles back then. It sold in November 2007. See the prior post and pictures here. We then chattered about it again […]
