This 1-bedroom Sandburg Village Artist Loft at 1535 N. Sandburg Village in the Gold Coast recently came on the market. It lives like a townhouse or rowhouse with a private front door entrance. Built in 1978 along with the rest of Sandburg Village, the glass living room ceiling is the unit’s most unique feature. The kitchen and […]

We have chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex up at 1654 W. Berwyn in Andersonville several times over the past six months. See our June 2011 chatter here. It has reduced another $15,900 and is now listed at $330,000. In June, some of you thought it would sell around $325,000 but others thought a number under […]

We last chattered about this contemporary Studio Dwell designed 4-bedroom single family home at 915 N. Wolcott in the East Village in June 2011. See our prior chatter here. Most of you loved this house. But we still debated about whether this home would sell for under its 2005 price of $1.38 million (and whether a […]

This 3-bedroom 67th floor unit in Trump Tower at 401 N. Wabash in River North just came on the market.

Two doctors put their condo in the Trump International Hotel […]

We last chattered about this vintage 2-bedroom at 5203 N. Magnolia in the historic Lakewood Balmoral district of Andersonville in July 2011. See our prior chatter here.

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 2030 W. Fletcher in North Center in April 2011. (Sorry for the bad pic- as I was rushing by and hadn’t noticed how bad it was until I got home! My fault.) See our prior chatter here. At the time, it has just reduced its […]

This 3-bedroom loft in The Sexton at 360 W. Illinois in River North came on the market in May 2011. It last sold in the middle of the recession in August of 2009 for $725,000 which was the same price as the prior 2004 sales price. The listing doesn’t indicate it had any updates (neither kitchen […]
