We chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex penthouse at 1715 W. Ohio in West Town several times in the last 3 years. See our August 2011 chatter here. If you recall, the unit is no ordinary top floor unit. At 6000-square feet, it was the real deal with a massive 1700 square foot deck with downtown […]

We last chattered about this vintage 3-bedroom rowhouse at 1828 W. Cornelia in Roscoe Village in May 2012. See our prior chatter here. The biggest bone of discussion was that most of you didn’t like the mix of prairie style windows with the Victorian-era architecture. Since our last chatter, it has been reduced another $70,000. […]

Sellers could learn a lot from the marketing of this 2-bedroom loft at 515 N. Noble in the Noble Square neighborhood of West Town. Back in March 2012, this was a bank owned unit.
