Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom penthouse in 3400 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview in December 2012. See our prior chatter here. At 2100 square feet, many of you will remember it from the very dark grey/black walls. It was the home of a well known Chicago interior designer and the unit had been […]

There are so many properties coming back on the market that we’ve chattered about in prior years on Crib Chatter (but which never sold) that I could do nearly every post about them. This 4-bedroom duplex up at 2948 N. Pine Grove in Lakeview is one of them. We last chattered about it in January […]

This 3-bedroom triplex penthouse loft in the Gallery Lofts at 3323 N. Paulina in Lakeview just came on the market. It has many features that loft lovers crave including a timber beamed ceiling. There is a 3-story atrium with a spiral staircase that connects the floors. The kitchen, with maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances, […]

Some of you will remember this 2-bedroom townhouse at 2820 N. Greenview in West Lakeview. See our March 2012 chatter here. It had originally sold in 2010 but then came back on the market in 2012 as “completely remodeled.” It was removed from the market last May but has come back on to test it […]

This 2-bedroom (or is it really a 1-bedroom with den?) loft at the 60657 Lofts at 1645 W. School in West Lakeview has been on and off the market for over a year. Last year, it was being sold as a short sale but the bank ultimately took it back in December 2012. The bank re-listed […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom top floor vintage unit at 3144 N. Sheridan in August 2012. See our prior chatter here. Many of you liked the unit but thought it would be too noisy living on Sheridan. It didn’t sell last year and is now back to try again. If you recall, the building, has […]

This 2-bedroom 15th floor vintage unit at 415 W. Aldine in East Lakeview just came on the market. Built in 1927, the building has just 2 units per floor. At 2000 square feet, it has features you don’t see in modern apartments including a barrel vaulted entry foyer. The kitchen has white cabinets, granite counter tops […]

This top floor 1-bedroom in the courtyard building at 544 W. Brompton in East Lakeview just came on the market. We’ve chattered about some of the unique units in this building before. This particular unit has 15 foot barrel vaulted ceilings in the living room along with a wall of exposed brick. It also has […]

  We last chattered about this 3-bedroom triplex unit at 3100 N. Kenmore in Lakeview in April 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back then, it had been listed at $599,000 and was reduced to $575,000. Most of you thought it was overpriced considering the finishes. At least one of you guessed that it would sell around […]

We last chattered about this top floor 3-bedroom at 432 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview in January 2013. See our prior chatter here. You all thought it would go under contract immediately as it had all the bells and whistles including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and parking. Instead, it took nearly 5 months […]
