Crib Chatter

We recently chattered about a 2/2 conversion in Andersonville that had all the features buyers look for including parking and yet many commenters thought it was overpriced. See that chatter here. This top floor 2/2 at1742 N. Sedgwick in Old Town was also recently converted- in this case in 2008/2009.   It is part of a 2-building […]

We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom in 235 W. Eugenie in Old Town several times over the past 3 1/2 years (that’s almost the entire time Crib Chatter has been in existence!) See our November 2010 chatter here. After many price reductions it finally sold for $42,500 under the 2004 purchase price. If you recall, the building […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom townhouse at 1732 N. Mohawk in the Old Town neighborhood of Lincoln Park in May 2011. See our May 2011 chatter here.

This 1000 square foot 1-bedroom plus den in the Neapolitan at 1212 N. Wells in Old Town came on the market in May 2011 as a short sale.

Long time readers will remember this 2-bedroom in the Carl Street Studios at 155 W. Burton in Old Town. We first chattered about it in September 2007 (it was one of the first Crib Chatter posts!) and then again in November 2009 when it returned to the market to try again. See our November 2009 […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 304 W. Willow in Old Town can’t be missed when driving or walking down the street with its bright yellow facade. On the market since October 2010, it has been reduced $50,000. It is now listed $110,000 under the 2007 purchase price. Built in 1874 on a 30×78 lot, […]
