In a recent discussion of a vintage 2-bedroom unit at 562 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park listed at $595,000, I commented in the thread that buyers could get a townhouse in the neighborhood for the same price (instead of living a condo in a 3 or 4-flat.) Anonny replied: “I’d love to see such a listing. Aside […]
This 7-bedroom new construction single family home at 2662 N. Geneva Terrace in Lincoln Park is in an enclave of mansion homes called “Geneva Terrace”. The listing says this is a bank owned house (as is its neighbor across the courtyard at 2659 N. Geneva Terrace which is listed for $3.25 million.) Geneva Terrace appears […]
When things were looking bleak in real estate in early 2008, we chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 562 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park to remind ourselves why we loved Chicago real estate. See the February 2008 chatter with interior pictures here. Our 2008 chatter is very illuminative of the market just 3 years ago. […]
Thanks to miumiu who pointed out that this newer construction 6-bedroom mansion at 1728 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park had sold in January 2011. (I missed this sale.) We chattered about this house several times as it came on the market less than 2 years after its original sale and was asking $464,000 more than […]
We were recently chattering about million dollar custom homes on the North Side that have been built during the last 2 years, even amidst the worst decline in housing prices in Chicago’s history, that presumably were built on spec. This 6-bedroom new construction mansion at 2038 N. Mohawk in Lincoln Park first came on the market in […]
We chattered about this 2-bedroom townhouse at 1437 W. Altgeld in Lincoln Park several times including when it was recently reduced in March 2011. See our March 2011 chatter here. At that time, some of you thought it would sell quickly given that it was a townhouse, and not a condo, had parking and outdoor […]
We’ve chattered about other Lincoln Park McCormick Rowhouses, specifically those on Belden, but this 5-bedroom rowhouse at 925 W. Fullerton recently came on the market. Built in 1890, the brick rowhouse is on a 23×120 lot. The McCormick Rowhouses have been designated a landmark district by the city. The listing says it has been “restored”. The […]
This 3-bedroom penthouse at 1117 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park has more space than many single family homes in the neighborhood. It also has two large private decks, including a 45×19 terrace off the master bedroom with a hot tub and a 35×17 deck that is entirely private on the roof with views of downtown and […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom “lofty townhouse” at 2222 N. Racine in Lincoln Park in February 2011. See our prior chatter here. Originally listed in June 2009, it had been reduced $90,000 to $599,000 by the time we chattered about it. At least one poster had a story of a client who made an […]
