What A Difference 2013 Makes For This 2-Bedroom East Lincoln Park Coach House: 337 W. Armitage

We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom coach house at 337 W. Armitage in East Lincoln Park several times over the past 20 months. See our April 2012 chatter here. Most recently listed in June 2011 for $500,000, most of you thought it was overpriced and would end up selling around $400,000. It was ultimately reduced to […]

3 Years After Our Last Chatter And Still No Buyer: A 3-Bedroom Rowhouse At 4050 N. Paulina In Lakeview

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 4050 N. Paulina in Lakeview in March 2010. See our prior chatter here. The main discussion focused on whether or not this property was in the Graceland West neighborhood and not so much the price. Back then, it was subject to lender approval. It is STILL […]

37% Appreciation In 4 Years For This Lincoln Park Vintage 2/2: 1849 N. Cleveland

We’ve chattered about this 8-unit vintage greystone building at 1849 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park numerous times over the years, especially the larger duplex downs. But this 2-bedroom top floor unit just came on the market. It has a unique living/dining/kitchen area that is almost loft-like with exposed brick walls and an exposed beamed ceiling. […]

A River North Brick And Timber Loft As Big As A Single Family Home: 152 W. Huron

We’ve chattered about this boutique loft building at 152 W. Huron in River North several times in the past. This 3-bedroom brick and timber loft has 4000 square feet on one floor which is larger than many single family homes. It has 13 foot high ceilings and a custom modern build-out.

6-Bedroom East Lakeview New Construction Single Family Home Now Under $3 Million: 550 W. Oakdale

We last chattered about this 6-bedroom new construction home at 550 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview in August 2012. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it was listed at $3.2 million and we debated whether or not a single family home could sell for that much in that location. Since then, the house […]

Get A Pre-War 3-Bedroom For Under $300K: 421 W. Melrose in East Lakeview

This 3-bedroom in The Eddystone at 421 W. Melrose in East Lakeview has been on the market since November 2012. [editor’s correction- it is NOT the penthouse.] The Eddystone was built in 1928 just before the Great Depression hit and halted construction of the luxury apartment buildings going up along the lake front. I believe this […]

Will This Gold Coast Teardown Finally Sell In This Hot Market? 67 E. Bellevue

I don’t have a picture of this 5-bedroom single family house at 67 E. Bellevue in the Gold Coast even though it’s been on and off the market since September 2010. It’s being sold as a teardown. The listing says “sold as is.” The current house has 3 stories and a 1-car garage on a […]

5-Bedrooms But 1 Full Bathroom In This Vintage Colonial At 1700 W. Wilson In Ravenswood

This 5-bedroom vintage single family home at 1700 W. Wilson in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Uptown came on the market in October 2012. (Sorryabout the massive tree right in the middle of the picture! LOL. It was hard for me to get a good angle on this house.) The listing says it is a mediterranean with a […]

Want To Raise Your Kids In A Loft? A 3-Bedroom At 1201 W. Wrightwood In Lincoln Park

Someone mentioned that it’s hard to find a loft big enough to raise children in but this 3-bedroom in the Gaertner Building at 1201 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park would seem to qualify. This loft has exposed brick and large industrial windows with tall ceilings. The listing says there’s no unit above or below it […]
