We chattered about this 3-bedroom short sale at 434 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview several times. See our April 2011 chatter here. Many of you might remember this unit because the kitchen had pale green cabinets. But the unit had many of its vintage features intact including a beamed ceiling in the dining room and […]
We’ve been chattering about the recent spate of modern single family homes being built, especially in the West Town neighborhood, but this 5-bedroom new construction single family home at 1529 W. Wolfram is in Lakeview. The house is 5000 square feet on a standard Chicago lot of 25×125. It has custom millwork and a coffered ceiling […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom in a vintage greystone at 1348 W. Wellington in Lakeview in June 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it was listed at $399,000 or $73,000 under the purchase price from just 2 years earlier. 5 months later, it is still on the market and the price […]
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1525 W. George in Lakeview several times. See our August 2011 chatter here. Some of you thought the owner should just rent it out. Others thought it would ultimately sell between $240,000 and $260,000. It has reduced again and is now $48,000 under the 2001 purchase price. If you […]
We recently chattered about the listing of the Theurer-Wrigley Mansion at 2466 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park and several people mentioned the possibility of the house being split into condos because it might have a better chance of selling. See that chatter here. That is apparently exactly what has happened to the Meeker Mansion at 3030 N. Lake Shore […]
We chattered about this 1-bedroom at 546 W. Surf in East Lakeview several times because it was originally bank owned, sold, and then came back on the market completely renovated. See our August 2011 chatter about the rehab here. On the market a little over 3 months, the unit recently sold for $145,000 (according to […]
We last chattered about this 5-bedroom new construction single family home at 1542 W. Nelson in West Lakeview in August 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, the house had been reduced from $2.5 million to $1.999 million. Many of you liked the house except for the fact that it was on an […]
This 3-bedroom duplex up at 2843 N. Lincoln on the Lakeview/Lincoln Park border has been on the market since September 2011. It has already been reduced $20,000 to $379,000. That is $1,000 under the 2001 purchase price of $380,000. The kitchen has white cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. 2 out of the […]
Thanks to the tipster who pointed out to me that the 5-bedroom single family home at 3251 N. Lakewood in Lakeview that we chattered about several times, which sold in September, came BACK on the market just weeks later. You can see our last chatter in July 2011 here. The house was new construction built in 2009 on […]
There’s an interesting mix as to what is selling, and what is not, right now in Chicago. We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1658 W. Belmont in Lakeview 10 months ago. See our prior chatter here. If you recall, the vintage building appears to have been converted into condos in 2006-2007. It is a rare vintage […]
