Crilly Court is a historic apartment complex consisting of several low-rise buildings in Old Town, some of which front Wells Street, which was converted from apartments into 90 condos in 2007. The buildings sold out quickly because of the location and historic nature of the buildings. Only a few parking spaces were available for purchase with the units […]
We chattered about this 700 square foot 2-bedroom unit in the historic Gaslight Court at 1407.5 N. Wells in Old Town in February 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. Since then, the unit has been reduced by $6,100. It is now under contract. Ken Marier at Sudler Sotheby’s Realty has the listing. See […]
The Venetian, at 230 W. Division, is an 88-unit highrise constructed in 2004 on the Old Town border. This 1-bedroom with den is priced at just about the 2004 purchase price. Is this a deal for the neighborhood? John Vossoughi at @Properties has the listing. See more pictures here. Unit #1208: 1 bedroom plus den, 1.5 […]
We last chattered about this 1873 completely renovated Folk Victorian at 240 W. Willow in Old Town in October 2008. The listing said it was 95% renovated and had viking appliances- but it didn’t have parking. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It is no longer on the market. A tipster tells me that it […]
We’ve chattered about this art deco building at 143 W. Burton in Old Town (or is that River North???) several times in the past year. See our March 2008 chatter and pictures here. See also our July 2008 chatter and pictures talking about the same units here. Unit #3S, an 800-square foot 1/1 finally sold […]
Gaslight Court is the historic 1900-era brick complex in the middle of Old Town at 1407 N. Wells. Several of the units have the funky 1/2 address as this 2-bedroom unit does at 1407.5 N. Wells. The units have central air, in-unit washer dryers but no parking. They also use their space wisely- having few […]
We love townhouses with actual outdoor space. This 2-bedroom townhouse at 1616 N. Larrabee, built in 1985, has two private patios, including one that is 900 square feet. Eileen Brennan at Prudential Preferred has the listing. See more pictures and the virtual tour here. Open house on February 8 from 2-4 pm. 1616 N. Larrabee: 2 bedrooms, 2 […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 1454 N. Orleans in Old Town in May 2008. It was among the cheapest single family homes currently on the market in Old Town. It’s gotten $34,000 cheaper since we last chattered about it. The sellers are also now “motivated.” Are the El tracks, right in front […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom triplex loft in the Carriage Park Lofts at 1448 N. Orleans in Old Town in August 2008. It is still on the market and has been reduced by $25,000. Back in August 2008, some of you thought it was overpriced. See the pictures and our chatter here. Here’s its history again: […]
