Crib Chatter

This 3-bedroom single family home at 2154 W. Cullom in North Center recently came on the market. I figured I’d better post on it before it went under contract- as most houses in this price range in this neighborhood seem to be doing. Built in 1910 on a 25×124 lot, the listing says it has […]

We’ve chattered about this 5-bedroom single family home at 2035 W. Hutchinson in North Center several times over the past few years as it went back to the bank in 2010 and then came back on the market. See our August 2011 chatter here. It was built during the Great Recession and never found an […]

The 3-bedroom condo unit is a hot commodity. But this one at 3038 N. Leavitt in North Center has been on the market since March 2012 and has been reduced $5,500. (By the way- is this Roscoe Village? It is a few blocks south of Belmont.) This building was pre-bubble construction as it was built […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 4332 N. Bell in North Center (as it’s just south of Montrose) just came on the market. I don’t have a picture of it yet but I thought I’d better cover it since it might get snapped up by a developer quickly. It is bank owned. It is listed […]

When I originally took the picture of this 3-bedroom single family home at 1911 W. Berenice in North Center, I thought it might be under contract before I even had a chance to post on it. It was, after all, a single family home with a garage in the Bell School District listed for $545,000. But […]

This top floor 3-bedroom at 2007 W. Belmont in North Center recently came on the market. It is a short sale listed $68,100 below the 2006 price. It has 2006 new construction upscale finishes such as crown molding, wainscotting and hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen has maple cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. […]

We chatter a lot about the historic rowhouses on Alta Vista Terrace in Wrigleyville in Lakeview but those aren’t the only game in town if you’re a vintage rowhouse lover. This 3-bedroom rowhouse at 1828 W. Cornelia in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of North Center came on the market in February 2012. Built in 1894, […]

This 3-bedroom duplex in the St. Ben’s Loft at 3900 N. Claremont in North Center is back on the market just 21 months after it last sold. It has been rehabbed, however, and now has a newer kitchen with what looks like a new kitchen island with a wine fridge, new granite counter tops and […]

We’ve been chattering recently about whether buying a 1-bedroom unit makes any financial sense. This 1-bedroom loft in The Lofts at 1800 at 1800 W. Grace in North Center just came on the market. With 91 units, the building was a conversion of the brick and timber E.R. Moore building, which was a manufacturer of […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom rowhouse at 4143 N. Damen in North Center 2 years ago. See the March 2010 chatter here. At that time, the rowhouse had been on the market since August 2009 and was listed for $799,900. It was withdrawn from the market without a sale. If you recall, the rowhouse was built […]
