Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom top floor duplex unit with a rooftop terrace at 1920 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park in October 2009. See our prior chatter here. We got into quite a discussion as to whether this building, the Seminary Flatirons Building, was actually listed on the national historic register as the October listing said […]

This bank owned 2-bedroom unit in a greystone at 435 W. Roslyn in East Lincoln Park has been on the market for nearly 2 months. It was recently reduced. The listing has no interior pictures and doesn’t say much about the unit so we have no idea its condition. It appears to be a duplex down and […]

There still appears to be demand for new construction condo units in some neighborhoods such as this 19 unit development at 1307 W. Wrightwood, called Wrightwood Crossing, in Lincoln Park. The website says the building is aiming for U.S. green building council LEED platinum certification. Here are the stats on the building (out of 19 […]

This 3-bedroom coach house at 2616 N. Orchard in Lincoln Park has a rare feature for most coach houses: parking. At 2400 square feet, it has 3 levels and includes a 1.5 garage. The coach house has a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a fireplace in the master suite, which also has […]

This 3-bedroom vintage unit at 2227 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park appears to be a regular duplex down property. But the listing says it has a “unique” 1000-square foot kitchen, bedroom, den and bathroom on the lower level. The property is not on the El side of the street. The main level has all three […]

We’ve been following the saga of this 3-bedroom vintage greystone unit at 2127 N. Sheffield for several years. We even chattered about the complete kitchen renovation during that time. See that chatter and before and after pictures here. Also, during that time, the seller attempted to rent out the unit for $2100 a month. But […]

Many of you already noticed this unique 1-bedroom coach house at 2011 N. Kenmore in Lincoln Park. Located just a block from the Armitage Brown Line stop, it is a duplex with skylights, exposed brick and exposed pinewood ceilings. The kitchen has white cabinets, stainless steel appliances and black limestone countertops. The listing says a new half […]

This 2-bedroom townhouse at 2753 N. Wayne in Lincoln Park is currently listed below $400,000. It has 18-foot ceilings in the living room and a separate dining room. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances with white cabinets and white counter tops. Both bedrooms and two full bathrooms are on the second level. There is a […]

It is not that common to run across 3 bedrooms plus 3 full bath units like this one at 1125 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park. Especially at a price under $600,000. At 2400 square feet, and a duplex-up, the unit feels more like a single family home. Built in 1999, it has two private decks […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1354 W. Webster in Lincoln Park is under contract after first coming on the market 11 months ago. We’ve chattered about it several times including last October where we somehow discussed ARMs. See our prior chatter here. It hasn’t been reduced since we last chattered about it 6 months […]
