We last chattered about this 3-bedroom Cape Cod at 7640 W. Rascher in the Oriole Park neighborhood of Norwood Park in August 2011. See our prior chatter here. Many of you just didn’t know anything about this neighborhood or greatly underestimated what houses sell for in a neighborhood with one of the best public schools […]

But in […]

The house was new construction built in 2009 on […]
