Crib Chatter

Some of you may remember this property at 1824 W. Cuyler in North Center. Even though we didn’t chatter about it in a post, the then 2-flat was discussed in the comments section several times because it was a property on a standard Chicago lot of 25×120 listed for just $204,900 in what is considered […]

We last chattered about this 1-bedroom garden unit at 3659 N. Damen in North Center in March 2011. See our prior chatter here. If you recall, the listing said it was professionally staged and it was one of the few properties where the furniture was included with the property. Given that the building was renovated into condos in […]

This 3-bedroom home at 3100 N. Leavitt in North Center doesn’t look like most of the other properties out there. (Sorry about the yucky picture but it was pouring rain that day. I’ll try to do better next time.) Built in 1908, the building is apparently a former bakery. All of the living space is on the […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 4128 N. Oakley in North Center recently came on the market. Built in 1998 on a standard Chicago lot of 25×125, you can sip lemonade from your porch swing all summer long. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are on the second level with the fourth bedroom in the lower […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 2255 W. Montrose on the border of North Center/Lincoln Square in March 2011. See our prior chatter here. Many of you thought the house should just be torn down. Some of you said it made you sad. Those who guessed about the selling price estimated between $250k and […]

This 5-bedroom single family home at 4117 N. Western in North Center has been on and off the market since January 2011. It is bank owned but after trying to sell it the conventional way the last few months, it is going to auction it instead. The house was built in 1906 and the listing says […]

This 3-bedroom brick house at 2255 W. Montrose on the border of Lincoln Square and North Center recently came on the market listed for $399,900. Located across from Welles Park, the listing says it was recently “remodeled” and has new appliances, floors, walls, ceilings, bathrooms and has not been occupied since completion of the remodel. […]

This 3-flat at 1929 W. Berteau in North Center came on the market in early February 2011. It is currently listed for $51,000 under the 2005 purchase price. Built in 1893 on a standard 25×125 lot, the listing indicates the 3-flat has been used as an owners unit plus a basement rental and that there […]

This 1-bedroom garden unit at 3659 N. Damen in North Center recently came on the market. The listing says it is professionally staged and the furniture is included with the property. The building was renovated into condos in 2006-2007. The kitchen has cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. There is a washer/dryer […]

This custom built 8000 square foot mansion at 2216 W. Grace in the St. Ben’s neighborhood of North Center just came on the market. It has 4 bedrooms, 9 baths, and 3 half baths on a 125×30 lot. It appears that the 2.5-car garage is still being built. There also doesn’t appear to be any […]
