This 2-bedroom duplex loft in the Soda Pop Factory Loft at 1001 W. Altgeld in Lincoln Park came on the market in April 2013. It has already been under contract once. At 1700 square feet, it has a private entrance which makes it feel more like a townhouse than a condo. It has 16 foot […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom penthouse in 3400 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview in December 2012. See our prior chatter here. At 2100 square feet, many of you will remember it from the very dark grey/black walls. It was the home of a well known Chicago interior designer and the unit had been […]

This 2-bedroom loft in the Bronzeville Lofts at 50 E. 26th in Bronzeville just came on the market. It is bank owned and listed at just $105,500. We last chattered about one of these authentic lofts in August 2012. See that chatter here. This one has 1660 square feet on two levels with a balcony […]

There are so many properties coming back on the market that we’ve chattered about in prior years on Crib Chatter (but which never sold) that I could do nearly every post about them. This 4-bedroom duplex up at 2948 N. Pine Grove in Lakeview is one of them. We last chattered about it in January […]

This 3-bedroom triplex penthouse loft in the Gallery Lofts at 3323 N. Paulina in Lakeview just came on the market. It has many features that loft lovers crave including a timber beamed ceiling. There is a 3-story atrium with a spiral staircase that connects the floors. The kitchen, with maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances, […]

Some of you will remember this 2-bedroom townhouse at 2820 N. Greenview in West Lakeview. See our March 2012 chatter here. It had originally sold in 2010 but then came back on the market in 2012 as “completely remodeled.” It was removed from the market last May but has come back on to test it […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom loft at 152 W. Huron in River North in March 2013. See our prior chatter here. It had previously been on and off the market since 2010 – but was definitely also listed in 2012 with no sale.  But the magic of 2013 prevailed as the loft came back […]

A couple of years ago a few of you wrote me wondering about this 1-bedroom cottage at 2151 N. Magnolia in West Lincoln Park. Back in June 2010, it had come on the market at $905,000 but was quickly reduced to $829,000. It never sold and was withdrawn in July 2011 listed at $829,000. Built […]

We’ve chattered several times about the 5-bedroom single family home at 336 W. Wisconsin in Lincoln Park, also known as “the Fugitive House.” See our November 2012 chatter here. It went under contract in August but then came back on the market a few weeks later. The listing says “Nothing else compares!” If you recall, it […]

This 2-bedroom coach house at 3042 N. Wolcott in North Center just came on the market. It’s a bit unusual for a coach house, however, because it’s not behind a main house. The listing says it fronts Wolcott on the corner but it doesn’t list how big the lot size is. The listing also says […]
