Crib Chatter

This 2-bedroom townhouse at 1003 W. Dickens in Lincoln Park just came on the market priced about 18% below the 2004 purchase price. The listing calls it a “rare find”  because it is bank owned (and in Lincoln Park). From the pictures, it appears the kitchen and baths are intact. The kitchen has white cabinets, […]

  We’ve chattered about some of the townhouses in this gated development at 1801 W. Diversey in Lincoln Park before. This 3-bedroom unit, #4, has been on the market since January 2012. It has two bedrooms on the second floor with a lofted third bedroom (or den) that has skylights. The kitchen has white cabinets, […]

This 2 bedroom loft at 2435 N. Sheffield in Lincoln Park has been on the market since June 2011. For loft lovers, this is for you. The loft, in a converted factory, has 15 foot timber ceilings and skylights. It is four levels with exposed brick and bedrooms open to the rest of the space. One bedroom […]

  We last chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex up at 2211 N. Clybourn in Lincoln Park in November 2010. See our prior chatter here. Back then, it was a short sale but it never sold. Thanks to Bob for pointing out that it had recently come back on the market- only as a bank owned […]

In the last 9 years, this 2-bedroom garden unit at 2124 N. Hudson has sold 3 times and is currently on the market for the fourth time. It is a short sale and is under contract. Normally I don’t like to chatter about properties under contract but this one has such an interesting sales history, […]

This 2-flat at 1828 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park just came on the market priced at only $250,000. It’s so new I don’t even have a picture yet but Clio wanted to know: How many offers will it get? What will it sell for? The listing calls it an “investor’s dream.” Built in 1890 on a […]

Mrs. O’Leary’s cow didn’t burn down this 4-bedroom Victorian at 2029 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park. Built in 1861 on a 25×124 lot, the house pre-dates the Chicago fire (making it among the oldest houses we’ve ever chattered about) and the oldest in West Lincoln Park. The listing says it was originally a farmhouse. With 3 fireplaces it […]

This 3-bedroom top floor unit at 820 W. Webster in Lincoln Park just came on the market about a week ago. It is in a 6-unit building that was built in 1892 and still retains many of its vintage features including hardwood floors, an older fireplace and crown molding. But it also has the modern conveniences that […]

I’ve been watching this 2-bedroom duplex down at 1034 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park for months. I was originally going to post on it last summer when it was bank owned but the realtor never put any interior pictures up with the listing. And try as hard as I could to find a past listing, […]

This 4-bedroom contemporary single family home at 1943 N. Maud in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. The listing says it was designed by Krueck & Sexton. It was built in 1989 on a 23×100 lot. It has a 2-story entryway and an open floor plan. The listing says there is a new gourmet kitchen […]
