We last chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home at 4315 N. Hazel in the Buena Park neighborhood of Uptown in September 2011. See our prior chatter here. The house had sold in 2006 for $850,000. Many of you questioned why anyone would pay that price in Uptown (even if it was the boom.) You […]
This 2-bedroom townhouse at 2702 W. Byron in Irving Park came on the market in early March. If an oasis from the city is what you seek, then this townhouse is for you. Located in a 2005/2006 townhouse development, it borders the Chicago River on the East (with a private river walk) and California Park to the […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit at 1250 W. Waveland in Lakeview about 2 years ago. See our February 2010 chatter here. At that time, the unit was listed at $319,000, which was just $1,000 under the 2008 purchase price. Not surprisingly, most of you thought it was priced too high and should […]
We’ve been chattering recently about whether buying a 1-bedroom unit makes any financial sense. This 1-bedroom loft in The Lofts at 1800 at 1800 W. Grace in North Center just came on the market. With 91 units, the building was a conversion of the brick and timber E.R. Moore building, which was a manufacturer of […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom Tudor at 5761 N. Virginia in the Peterson Woods neighborhood of West Ridge in October 2011. See our October 2011 chatter here. Many of you liked this house but thought it was priced too high for only being a 3/1.5 (especially when it was originally listed over $500,000). Some […]
We last chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home at 1253 W. Wellington in Lakeview a year ago. See our April 2011 chatter here. Back then, many of you thought it was overpriced given its layout and lack of much of a backyard. Since then, it has been reduced another $145,000 to just $850,000. If […]
The first of the four units in this new construction building at 3510 N. Southport in the Southport neighborhood of Lakeview just came on the market. The listing says, “Finally brand new construction homes return to the Southport Corridor.” It is the penthouse unit with a front balcony and a private roof top deck. At […]
This 4-bedroom single family home at 4443 N. Mozart in Ravenswood Manor has been on the market for 11 months. We last chattered about it in October 2011, when former Governor Blagojevich’s house came on the market just two blocks away. See our chatter here. Some of you thought at $1.235 million that that was too […]
This 5-bedroom single family home at 6139 N. Northcott in Norwood Park (does this qualify as Old Norwood Park in this location?) has been on the market since February 2012. Built in 1904, the house is on an oversized lot measuring 49×202. There’s a chef’s kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The […]
