Crib Chatter

This 2-bedroom penthouse in the highrise at 201 E. Chestnut in Streeterville recently came on the market. (Sorry- for some reason I don’t have a picture of this building- so no pictures.) But it’s not any ordinary penthouse. It has soaring cathedral ceilings in the living room with an 18 foot wall of south facing […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 4502 N. Kildare in the Mayfair neighborhood of Irving Park (no- it’s NOT in Albany Park) in June 2012. See our previous chatter here. Many of you liked the property (and liked the neighborhood). Most of you also thought it was priced right at $450,000. Icarus thought […]

Thanks to the poster who put in a link in one of the comments to this 3-bedroom unit on the 17th floor in 2550 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park which just came on the market. I’ve been waiting a few months for a resale or rental to come on the market with pictures of the […]

This 3-bedroom Georgian-style single family home at 6126 N. Kirkwood in the Sauganash neighborhood of Forest Glen came on the market in August 2012. Built in 1936 on an oversized 50×124 lot, it has a 1-car front facing garage with a brick paver driveway. It doesn’t have much of its interior vintage character left but […]

This 2-bedroom on the 29th floor of The Tiara at 6145 N. Sheridan in Edgewater has been on the market since August 2011. Built in 1970, The Tiara is a full service high rise directly on the lake with a rooftop pool, doorman and parking. This unit has dead on lake views from a 16×5 […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom modern “colonial” style single family home at 6312 N. Louise in Old Edgebrook in May 2012. See our prior chatter here. Most of you didn’t care for the modern architecture style, especially after realizing it didn’t have a basement. But many of you love the neighborhood and were willing […]

This 4-bedroom farmhouse at 5655 N. Newcastle in Old Norwood Park came on the market in September 2012. Built in 1919, it is on an enormous 50×231 lot with a 1.5 car garage. The listing says the house has been owned by generations of the same family for 80 years. It also says you can […]

This 2-bedroom loft in the Ontario Street Lofts at 411 W. Ontario in River North recently came on the market. This loft is in the concrete portion of the building so it has concrete ceilings, exposed brick and hardwood floors. It is a duplex, with the two bedrooms on the second floor connected by a […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom bungalow at 4050 N. Mango in Portage Park in May 2012. See our prior chatter here. It was listed as an estate sale and was being sold “as-is.” If you recall, it was built in 1921 on an oversized 33×125 lot and was just 2 blocks from the park. But […]

We last discussed this 3-bedroom vintage mediterranean at 5749 N. Manton in Jefferson Park (although the listing is calling it South Edgebrook) in October 2010. See our prior chatter here. Back then, it was a short sale listed at $324,900 but Homedelete peered into his crystal ball and had this to say: “Not only is […]
