This 3-bedroom at 1550 N. Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast has been on the market since June 2012. Many of you would recognize this building because it’s at the end of the wall of buildings up Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast. It’s where the Gold Coast ends and Lincoln Park begins. […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 1805 W. Cornelia in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of North Center in April 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back in April, most of you voiced concern over having the El on one side of the house and the Metra train on the other. Most of you […]

Some of you may remember the penthouse unit at 550 W. Wellington in Lakeview from several years ago. It had professional interior design. We first chattered about it in June 2009.

This 2-bedroom at 2029 W. Division in West Town recently came on the market. It is bank owned. The listing says that it is a Freddie Mac First Look Initiative property for the first 15 days (meaning owner-occupiers get the first look at it.) But the listing also says that the building is “all rentals.” […]

We have chattered about this landmarked Terra Cotta Row mansion and coach house at 1048 W. Oakdale in Lakeview several times. See our January 2012 chatter here.
