Crib Chatter

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex at 2131 N. Clark in East Lincoln Park twice over the last 4 months. See our January 2013 chatter here. It originally came on the market in mid-November 2012 at $375,000. It was an estate sale and was being sold “as-is.” It lingered on the market for several months […]

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 344 W. Dickens in East Lincoln Park just came on the market. It is part of an 8-unit group of fee simple townhouses that were built in 1962 that don’t have a monthly HOA fee. They only pay a yearly maintenance fee which, in the case of this unit, is $215 […]

If this building at 353 W. Dickens in East Lincoln Park looks familiar, it’s because we chattered about the building in November 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back in November, it was a top floor unit with a “crow’s nest” which had a private roof top deck but few renovations. It was listed at $499,000 but […]

We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom coach house at 337 W. Armitage in East Lincoln Park several times over the past 20 months. See our April 2012 chatter here. Most recently listed in June 2011 for $500,000, most of you thought it was overpriced and would end up selling around $400,000. It was ultimately reduced to […]

We’ve chattered about this 8-unit vintage greystone building at 1849 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park numerous times over the years, especially the larger duplex downs. But this 2-bedroom top floor unit just came on the market. It has a unique living/dining/kitchen area that is almost loft-like with exposed brick walls and an exposed beamed ceiling. […]

Someone mentioned that it’s hard to find a loft big enough to raise children in but this 3-bedroom in the Gaertner Building at 1201 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park would seem to qualify. This loft has exposed brick and large industrial windows with tall ceilings. The listing says there’s no unit above or below it […]

This 4-bedroom duplex down at 1130 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park recently came back on the market. It was listed from May to December of 2012 before being pulled from the market. The building is a 3-unit vintage greystone. The unit has a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and […]

This 2-bedroom in Stonegate Terrace at 615 W. Deming in East Lincoln Park recently came on the market. The building was built in 1999 and has an elevator. The unit was last listed about 2 years ago but didn’t sell. At 2100 square feet, the duplex up has a 2-story living room with a wall of […]

Some of you might remember this 3-bedroom coach house at 1845 N. Halsted in Lincoln Park from when it was on the market in 2010 and 2011. It’s actually a unique property which is more like a vintage townhouse than your typical coach house. The coach house is in the back of the property but […]

This 2-bedroom at 807 W. Lill in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. It’s a Freddie Mac Homesteps property. This building, at the corner of Lill and Halsted, was converted to condos at the height of the market in 2005. This unit has an exposed brick wall, a fireplace and hardwood floors in the main living […]
