Crib Chatter

We haven’t chattered about Sono, the newer construction high rise at 860 W. Blackhawk in the Clybourn Street Corridor in the Near North Side in awhile. (yes- I’m probably getting the neighborhood wrong. What do you call this location?) The building finally sold out and there haven’t been any recent resales until this 2-bedroom unit […]

  This 3-bedroom penthouse loft in The Sexton at 360 W. Illinois in River North has been on the market since May 2011. It previously sold just 2 years before, in August 2009. We chattered about this unit in September 2011 as the listing price was $225,000 higher than the 2009 purchase price with, apparently, […]

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 2901 N. Lakewood in Lakeview has been on the market since September 2011. It has 20 foot vaulted ceilings in the living area. The kitchen has maple cabinet, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The master bedroom is on the third floor (along with a rooftop deck) while the other […]

Longtime readers will remember this duplex up penthouse loft in the Locomobile Lofts at 2000 S. Michigan in the South Loop. We chattered about it several times because it originally came on the market in 2007 and stuck around until 2009 before it was withdrawn. See our May 2008 chatter here (with interior pictures). (What a […]

This 2-bedroom St. Michael’s loft at 1660 N. Hudson in Old Town has been on the market since February 2012. In that time it has been reduced to $309,900, which is $51,100 under the 2001 price. No, it’s not a short sale nor is it bank owned. The loft has 14 foot high ceilings with […]

This 3-bedroom duplex down at 1408 N. Artesian in the East Humboldt Park neighborhood of West Town (although someone once told me this was “West Bucktown”- but that was pre-housing bust) has been on the market since December 2011. Yes- it’s west of Western. It is a short sale and is now listed at about […]

We’ve chattered about Nate Berkus’ 3-bedroom at 1325 N. Astor in the Gold Coast several times since it came on the market 14 months ago. See our October 2011 chatter here. But the Tribune is now reporting that it has been reduced again, so I figure we’d chatter on it again (since some of you […]

This 3-bedroom duplex down at 2731 N. Whipple in Logan Square has sold 2 times in the past 7 years and is now on the market for the third time. At 2100 square feet, the listing says the unit had a full rehab in 2005. The kitchen has granite counter tops, a tile backsplash and stainless […]

We chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex up at 1449 W. Lexington in the Taylor Street neighborhood on the near west side several times since it was first listed in 2010, including last September when it was re-listed. See our September 2011 chatter here. Several of you loved the neighborhood and thought the unit was cute, […]

This 2-bedroom plus den at 1601 S. Halsted in Pilsen has been on the market since August 2011. Built in 2000/2001 as “Pilsen Gateway” it is just steps from the Metra stop on Halsted and within easy walking distance of both University Village shops/restaurants and Pilsen’s shops and restaurants. The building has 32 units. At […]
