Crib Chatter

Some of you may remember the Tru-Lofts at 2525 N. Sheffield in Lincoln Park from the days of the housing boom as it was an apartment to condo conversion that took place in the spring of 2007. The original listings for the units in 2007 said you could buy the unit “as is” or you […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 1919 N. Lincoln Park West in East Lincoln Park in December 2009. See our prior chatter here. Most of you loved the location and vintage character but the discussion really revolved about the 2-car parking behind the rowhouse which the former listing said could have a 2-car garage […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom with a private terrace in The Pierre at 2100 N. Lincoln Park West in Lincoln Park in June 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back then, no one really had an opinion on the price but several of you commented that the terrace didn’t seem that private (with the […]

For those who think the GreenZone hasn’t been impacted by the housing bust, take a look at the sales history of the 2-bedroom vintage unit at 2019 N. Sheffield in Lincoln Park. Built in 1884, it has been renovated but the original window moldings of the Victorian building remain. It has tall ceilings with recessed […]

This 5-bedroom historic McCormick Rowhouse at 859 W. Fullerton in Lincoln Park has been on the market since January 2012. Built in 1890 on a 32×105 lot, it is a sought-after corner rowhouse (more windows!). However, it needs to be brought back to its former glory. The listing says “Restoration tax credits may apply.” 2 […]

We last chattered about this top floor 3-bedroom duplex-up at 1866 N. Halsted in Lincoln Park in May 2010. See our May 2010 chatter here. The main chatter wasn’t about the price, but about the parking (or lack thereof.) As the unit does NOT have a parking space. Matt Garrison, the realtor on the listing […]

This 2-bedroom at 644 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. The building was constructed in 1974 and has some unique 2-story top floor duplexes. This unit has a 2-story living room with exposed brick walls and a timber ceiling. One bedroom is on the main floor and one on the second […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 2029 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park in February 2012. See our prior chatter here. Many of you liked the house but were disappointed with the lack of true vintage features in the interior. Listed for $1,574,900 back in February, the house is still priced the same 7 […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom co-op at 399 W. Fullerton Parkway, across the street from Lincoln Park, in April 2012. See our prior chatter here. Previously listed for $1.5 million, it is still listed for that price. Many of you put this building at the top of your list as a favorite in the city. […]

I think several of you have mentioned this 4-bedroom house at 529 W. Wrightwood in East Lincoln Park in previous threads about this neighborhood. It came on the market in May 2012. It is currently listed both for sale and for rent but the rental listing says the owner prefers a 6 to 9 month […]
