This 3-bedroom duplex down at 1525 N. Wood in Wicker Park came on the market in July 2013. But it had been on the market from 2010 until 2011 without a sale. It has the living/dining/kitchen on the main level along with the master bedroom while the other two bedrooms and the family room are […]

  This 2-bedroom in a converted church at 3252 N. Kenmore in Lakeview just came on the market. The listing says it’s “not cookie cutter.” It has 10-12 foot ceilings throughout and 9 windows. The kitchen has maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances. It has heated garage parking, central air, washer/dryer in the unit and […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom townhouse at 642 N. Armour in West Town several times over the last year. See our June 2013 chatter here.

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1414 W. Highland in Edgewater came on the market in May 2013. In its previous life, it was apparently a butter factory. Now, it’s a 4200 square foot contemporary home on a 50×112 lot with a 2-car garage. It has a large master suite and sunroom on the top […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 2343 W. Altgeld in Logan Square in April 2010. See our prior chatter here. Most of the chatter was on the rowhouse’s location near the Kennedy Expressway. The rowhouse is on a smaller than normal Chicago lot of 18×100. If you recall, it has 2-bedrooms on the […]

This 1-bedroom loft in 420 W. Grand in River North just came on the market. With all the high rise development, many people forget that much of River North was just a bunch of run-down warehouses until about 20 years ago. This 1200 square foot south facing loft has the features that loft lovers look for including […]

We’ve chattered about this brick and timber authentic loft in The Village Lofts at 612 N. Oakley in West Town several times over the last year. Our first chatter, in May 2012, consisted of debating whether or not this property was in the Ukrainian Village or the Patch. No one could decide. See that chatter […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom triplex corner loft in the Postcard Lofts at 1733 W. Irving Park Road in Lakeview in May 2013. You can check out that chatter here. Priced at $499,900 some of you thought it was too expensive but $475,000 might get it done. We actually chattered about this unit nearly 6 years ago- […]
