This top floor 2-bedroom at 2819 N. Lakewood in Lakeview came on the market on Nov 1, 2014. It might look familiar to some, however, because it was a previously bank owned unit that was listed in May 2014 and sold at the end of June. You can see what the unit looked like when […]

This vintage 2-bedroom at 1120 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park just came on the market. (Yes- people are STILL listing- even the week before Christmas.)

This 2-bedroom coach house at 2616 N. Orchard in Lincoln Park has been on and off the market since July 2007. We’ve actually chattered about it twice, with the first time all the way back in April 2010. See that amusing chatter here (something about the microwave being in the sink.) Since then, the coach […]
