This 3-bedroom in Millennium Centre at 33 W. Ontario in River North has been on the market since March 2012. It is bank owned.

Thanks to those who pointed out that this 5-bedroom tudor at 5919 N. Forest Glen in Sauganash had finally sold.

We’ve chattered about this house several times over the […]
