Crib Chatter

I always love seeing properties we chattered about years ago come back on the market like this 2-bedroom townhouse at 648 W. Willow in Lincoln Park. We last chattered about it in April 2008. See our chatter here (with interior pictures). Boy, how things have changed since then in the Chicago housing market. The townhouse […]

This 1-bedroom in 2500 N. Lakeview in East Lincoln Park just came on the market. At 900 square feet, it is east facing so it DOES have Lincoln Park and lake views. Given that the building was built in 1974, the unit has some interesting features including teak herringbone cherry floors, crown molding and French […]

This 4-bedroom Victorian Italianate row house at 2000 N. Orleans in Lincoln Park came on the market in August 2012. Built in 1876 on a smaller than standard Chicago lot of 25×77, it still manages to pack a lot of amenities into the space. It has a front deck, a private rooftop deck, and a […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage row house at 474 W. Deming in East Lincoln Park several times over the past year. If you recall, it has been on and off the market and finally came back “on” again in May with a new kitchen. See our May 2013 chatter here. Last year, when it […]

This 5-bedroom Victorian house at 637 W. Schubert in Lincoln Park came on the market in May 2013. Originally listed for $575,000, it has been reduced to just $499,000. What’s the catch? Built in 1876, it is on a smaller than average size lot of 27×52.75. There’s no garage. One side of the house is […]

This 2-bedroom in 2440 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. What I like about this site is that we often see the properties again several years later after renovations have been made. We chattered about this unit before, in September 2008, when it was listed as a renovation project. The prior listing said “Bring […]

This 4-bedroom townhouse at 2757 N. Greenview in Lincoln Park came on the market last February. It is actually on the edge of Lincoln Park and Lakeview (but since it’s on the south side of Diversey, it is technically Lincoln Park.) Some of you may recognize it from your travels down Diversey as this townhouse is […]

This 3-bedroom duplex down at 1051 W. Montana in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. If the building looks familiar, that is because we chattered about the “sister” unit to this one across the hall at 1049 W. Montana in October 2011. See our prior chatter here. You can see interior pictures of the […]

This 1-bedroom loft at 2226 N. Racine in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. We’ve chattered about this complex before but they were all larger units. This loft has 14-foot ceilings and an open floor plan with the bedroom on a “second” floor/half floor without full walls. It has exposed brick walls and timber […]

There are some properties that have been on and off the market nearly the entire time I’ve run this blog (which was started in 2007). This 3-bedroom at 919 W. Wisconsin in Lincoln Park is one of them. We last chattered about it in January of this year. See our chatter here. But it was […]
