This 1-bedroom loft at the China Club Lofts at 616 W. Fulton in the West Loop just came on the market. You don’t see these finishes every day. It has been rebuilt with a new modern kitchen and bath with luxury finishes such as Poliform, Boffi and Subzero. The loft has 14 foot timber ceilings […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 850 W. Willow in Lincoln Park has a secret you rarely see in the dense neighborhoods near the lake. It has a heated in-the-ground pool in the backyard. It’s able to have that because the house is built on a double lot measuring 50×99.56. As you can see from […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom at 1030 N. State in the heart of the Gold Coast in March 2011. See our prior chatter here. You may recall that this unit has been created from 3 combined units. Last year, some of you liked the rehab that was done and some of you thought it […]

This 5-bedroom vintage Victorian at 2666 N. Orchard in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. It is being marketed as a teardown as the listing says: “Developers: Build a dream home or condos.” It’s being sold “as-is”. But the house, built in 1891, has some unique features including knotty pine wood paneling and stained […]

This 6-bedroom historic rowhouse on the landmarked Alta Vista Terrace at 3825 N. Alta Vista Terrace in Lakeview first came on the market in June 2010. We last chattered about it in October 2010.

Several of you were recently chattering about a bunch of the units being under contract in 340 On the Park at 340 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East and how there were no deals in the building. It is true that two 3-bedroom units ARE under contract, but there are several 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom units available […]

I’ve been seeing a fair number of 2010 purchases come on the market recently like this 2-bedroom vintage unit at 445 W. Fullerton Parkway in Lincoln Park. This unit has a lot of the vintage features buyers look for including french doors and box beamed ceilings in the dining room. The kitchen has maple cabinets, granite […]
