The former 2011 listing simply said: “Old beat-up two flat needs TLC. Borderline tear-down.” Bought in February 2011, the property was restored into […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom bungalow with 2 kitchens at 3037 W. Belden in Logan Square in September 2011. See our September chatter here. At the time, the number of bedrooms seemed confusing as the listing said 4 but only listed 3 bedrooms. It’s now listed as 4 bedrooms with one on the second […]
