This 3-bedroom vintage coach house in Gaslight Village at 809 W. Oakdale in Lakeview came on the market in February 2013. If it looks familiar to long time Chatteratis it’s because we actually chattered about its twin, Coach House East, in 2010. See our chatter about CHE here. Back then, the sister coach house was […]

This 3-bedroom vintage unit at 506 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview just came on the market. It’s on the third floor and has both a front, south facing balcony and a large deck over the backyard garage. It has crown molding throughout along with a marble fireplace in the living room and a bonus marble […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 3808 N. Pine Grove in East Lakeview in December 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back then, it was listed as a 3-bedroom and was priced at $314,900. Now, is has come back on the market as a 2-bedroom with a study and a new list price of […]

It’s back! We last chattered about this 2-bedroom top floor triplex loft at 1000 W. Diversey in Lakeview in October 2011. See our prior chatter here. Many of you were taken by its uniqueness back in 2011 and thought that it could be cool.  But you also thought it would take too much money to renovate. […]

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 832 W. Wolfram in Lakeview recently came on the market. The listing calls it a townhouse but as you can see from the picture above, it appears to be behind the house in the front. That’s the door to the right behind the house in front. Is it a coach house? […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom townhouse at 1246 W. Oakdale in Lakeview in January 2013. See our previous chatter here. Some of you will remember it as the epic thread that included a debate (again) about the city versus the suburbs. But those of you who did comment on the property thought it would […]

We’ve chattered about units in this pre-war building at 500 W. Barry in East Lakeview before. The last few years, we chattered about a 3-bedroom third floor unit, Unit #3W, which was listed in April 2011 at $799,900 and ended up selling last November for $575,000. See our February 2012 chatter on that unit here. […]

Ever wonder what the penthouses are like in the grand pre-war buildings of Chicago? This 3-bedroom duplex penthouse in The Barry at 3100 N. Sheridan in East Lakeview recently came on the market. It has a private entry off the elevator and 2 private terraces. All 3 bedrooms are on the second level. Vintage features […]

This 2-bedroom penthouse in 320 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview has been on the market since September 2012. Yes, it is a “real” penthouse. It’s on the top floor and it has a massive private terrace which has views of Lincoln Park and the lake. It was apparently the home of the architect who designed […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 4050 N. Paulina in Lakeview in March 2010. See our prior chatter here. The main discussion focused on whether or not this property was in the Graceland West neighborhood and not so much the price. Back then, it was subject to lender approval. It is STILL […]
