We’ve chattered about this 5-bedroom modern construction single family home at 336 W. Wisconsin in Lincoln Park several times in 2012. See our July 2012 chatter here. It’s commonly known as the “Fugitive House” because the movie, with Harrison Ford, was filmed in it. It went under contract in August but then came back on […]
This 3-bedroom townhouse at 524 W. Grant Place in East Lincoln Park has been on the market since September 2012. What makes it so unique? It was built in 1881, for starters.

Many of you have sent me tips over the years about various rowhouses north of Armitage on Bissell (usually those on the El side of the street that seemed like “deals”.) There’s something about this row of vintage rowhouses that we love. This 3-bedroom end unit rowhouse at 2137 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park came on the market […]

It is in a prime location near Lincoln Park but doesn’t have parking or in-unit washer/dryer. It last sold just two years ago and most of you thought it wouldn’t sell for more […]
