This 2-bedroom unit at 1433 W. Addison in a prime area of Southport went under contract just as the tax credit was expiring and just closed (in time for the end of June deadline in order to cash in on the credit.) It was a top floor 2/2 with a balcony. Converted in 2006, it […]

Some of the smaller homes in Lakeview are, well, fixer uppers. This 2-bedroom vintage home at 3041 N. Honore appears to be move in ready. It even has a front porch with a swing. The two bedrooms are upstairs and have skylights. The kitchen has white cabinets, granite counter tops and a tile black splash. […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom home at 3652 N. Hermitage in Lakeview several times in the past year as it sold in 2009 and then was re-listed not even a year later. See our April 2010 chatter and pictures here. It went under contract within days of listing and now has closed for $12,500 over […]

We chattered about this 3-bedroom pre-war unit at 504 W. Barry in East Lakeview in December 2009. See our December 2009 chatter here. It is one of the rare 1920s buildings along or near the lakefront in Lakeview that has all the bells and whistles that buyers are looking for including space pac cooling, in-unit […]

We’ve chattered about this vintage 1-bedroom with  sunroom in Lakeview several times. See our May 2010 chatter and pictures here.

The unit has hardwood floors throughout and the larger floor plan of vintage units with a dining room and […]

Ever want to own a quaint vintage cottage in Roscoe Village? Nows your chance. This 1-bedroom cottage built in 1893 at 1921 W. Newport just came on the market. It is built on a standard 25×125 Chicago lot and has a 2-car garage. But the house only has one bedroom measuring 7×13. The listing does […]

Since we’re chattering about duplex up units, this 3-bedroom at 3726 N. Southport in Lakeview just came on the market. It’s located across the street from the Music Box and you can almost taste the Dairy Queen from the private roof top deck. The unit has 18 foot ceilings in the living room and has a […]

This 2-bedroom unit at 3535 N. Reta in Lakeview is a property that was commonly built throughout many neighborhoods of the North Side during the housing boom: a luxury condo within a 4 unit building. This unit is more upgraded than some of that era, however, with crown molding and tray ceilings. There are also solid […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom penthouse unit at 800 W. Cornelia in the heart of Lakeview in December 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. Back then, in the middle of winter, it’s doubtful buyers could appreciate the 20×14 private rooftop terrace. Many of you thought that it would sell quickly if reduced […]

This 2-bedroom vintage unit at 2861 N. Burling in Lakeview has been reduced by about $30,000 since it first came on the market in March. It is also now listed for $15,000 under the 2005 purchase price. The unit has the all important deeded parking, which is fairly unique in this neighborhood. It is also […]
