This 3-bedroom penthouse loft in the Regal Lofts at 1735 W. Diversey in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. If it looks familiar, that’s because we last chattered about it in 2008-2011 time period when it was a foreclosure, became bank owned, and then came back on the market again. You can see our 2008 […]

This 2-bedroom in a vintage walk-up at 816 N. Dearborn in the Gold Coast recently came on the market. If it looks familiar, though, that’s because it was on the market for several months earlier this year and sold in May 2018. We didn’t chatter about it back then, however. Built in 1891, the association has […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 2025 W. Chase in Rogers Park came on the market in July 2018. (Sorry- no picture, but Redfin has it as a “hot home” so I wanted to cover it quickly.) Built in 1911, it is on a wider than normal Chicago lot of 32×113 and has a 2-car […]

This 5-bedroom Tudor English manor at 6087 N. Kirkwood in Sauganash has been on and off the market since September 2014. If it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it in November 2016.

This 3-bedroom townhouse in the Kensington Park II  at 1712 S. Indiana came on the market in May 2018. We’ve actually chattered about this townhouse before, in 2011, when the prior owners were quoted in Money Magazine in an article about the “turnaround” in the housing market nationwide. They sold for just $15,000 off their […]

This vintage 3-bedroom at 610 W. Surf in East Lakeview just came on the market. This 8 unit building was constructed in 1906. It has many of the vintage features of that era including tall ceilings, original window trim and a fireplace (which is now gas.) However, the unit has a unique layout with the […]
