Crib Chatter

  We’ve chattered about this vintage mid-rise building at 2000 N. Lincoln Park West in Lincoln Park several times since CribChatter began in 2007. It was converted from apartments into condos in 2005, near the height of the real estate market. This 1-bedroom on the 12th floor, with lake views, was listed in November 2011 but […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom top floor unit at 2657 N. Burling in East Lincoln Park in January 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it had 9 of the 13 “unicorn criteria” that anonny was looking for for his condo dream home in East Lincoln Park. Listed for $364,000, many of […]

We’ve chattered about this 1-bedroom coach house at 2011 N. Kenmore in Lincoln Park several times over the last year. See our December 2011 chatter here. Until March 2012, the price hadn’t seen a reduction in a year. The sellers were sticking with $315,000. In December, most of you thought it had to be listed […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom contemporary coach house at 337 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park in November 2011. See our prior chatter here. At the time, it was listed at $500,000. Not surprisingly, most of you thought that was too high. Most thought $400,000 was more likely to see a sale. Since November, it […]

This 1-bedroom at 909 W. Wisconsin in Lincoln Park is familiar to those of you who peruse such sites like Apartment Therapy (which is where I saw it). But the listing also says it has been “featured in countless magazines” as it’s a “top Chicago designer’s own pied-a-terre.” Now’s your chance to buy it (but, […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom rowhouse at 2408 N. Burling in Lincoln Park in 2011. See our August 2011 chatter here. Back in August, we chattered about the rowhouse’s lack of parking and whether or not that was hurting its sale at a price point over $750,000. It is still on the market and has […]

This 3-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 960 W. Dickens in Lincoln Park has been on the market since June 2011. Built in 1891, it is on an 18×100 lot. The rowhouse appears to have stained glass in the front windows but many of the other original interior features are now missing. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances. […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 850 W. Willow in Lincoln Park has a secret you rarely see in the dense neighborhoods near the lake. It has a heated in-the-ground pool in the backyard. It’s able to have that because the house is built on a double lot measuring 50×99.56. As you can see from […]

This 5-bedroom vintage Victorian at 2666 N. Orchard in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. It is being marketed as a teardown as the listing says: “Developers: Build a dream home or condos.” It’s being sold “as-is”. But the house, built in 1891, has some unique features including knotty pine wood paneling and stained […]
