Crib Chatter

We’ve chattered about lofts in 1000 W. Diversey Parkway in Lakeview several times in 2013 and now two more units have come on the market including this 2-bedroom plus den. That means there are 4 units out of 8 in the building currently on the market. Half the building is for sale. What’s odd about […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex down at 3531 N. Sheffield in Lakeview in August 2012. See our prior chatter here. If you recall, it is just a half a block away from Wrigley Field and both last summer and now this spring it is being marketed to Cubs fans. Last summer, most of […]

This 3-bedroom in Pearson on the Park at 222 E. Pearson in Streeterville just came on the market. I can’t tell if it is bank owned or not. It is being sold “as-is” BUT it looks like it was part of that $17 million bulk sale of foreclosed units that took place in 2009. This building was converted […]

It’s back! We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1658 W. Belmont in Lakeview several times over the last 3 years. (Yes, 3 YEARS!) See our August 2012 chatter here. Listed as high as $324,900 in 2010, it was reduced to $275,000 the last time we chattered about it in August 2012. But it didn’t sell […]

This 3-bedroom triplex loft in the Donohue Building Lofts at 711 S. Dearborn in Printers Row just came on the market. This is one of the most popular loft buildings in the city. I know many of you love it. If you haven’t been in it, be sure to check out some of the unique […]

This 2-bedroom corner unit in The Grand on Grand at 200 W. Grand in River North just came on the market. Normally, it would be just like every other 2/2 in the newer high rises in River North that were all built in the last 10 years. But the listing says it has a “redesigned […]

This 2-bedroom at 909 W. Washington in the West Loop has been on the market since August 2012. It’s not your typical newer construction 2-bedroom. It’s one of two penthouse units in the building. This corner unit has 2-story floor to ceiling windows with north and east city views. There are two bedrooms on the main […]

This 4-bedroom duplex unit in The Pierre at 2100 N. Lincoln Park West in Lincoln Park came on the market in October 2012. At 2850 square feet, it has views of Lincoln Park and the lake. There’s no floor plan with the listing but Redfin agents who have seen the unit said in the notes […]

This 2-bedroom in Cortina Court, the courtyard building at 427 N. Aldine in East Lakeview, just came on the market. We’ve been chattering about a lot of $500,000+ vintage units recently, but what about one that’s listed at $315,000? Built in 1926, this high first floor unit has a formal entry, crown molding and several built-ins […]

This 3-bedroom contemporary style single family home at 1617 W. Hubbard in West Town has been on and off the market since May 2011. Built in 2001, on a standard 25×125 lot, it has an interesting design with a rare 2-car garage in the front of the house. It has 20-foot vaulted ceilings in the […]
