This 1-bedroom at 1212 N. LaSalle on the edge of the Gold Coast and Old Town just came on the market. Even though the building was built in 1988, the listing says the unit is as “good as new.” The kitchen has new granite counter tops and tile backsplash as well as stainless steel appliances. The bathroom and the wood […]
We last chattered about this top floor 2-bedroom in The Cambridge at 3145 N. Cambridge in Lakeview in December 2010. See our prior chatter here. We have been watching this unit for many months. It has been on and off the market for over 2 years. It recently returned to the market with another $20,000 […]
This 3-bedroom duplex down at 1069 N. Marshfield in the East Village neighborhood of West Town has been on the market for about a month. In that time, it has been reduced $5100. The unit is now $27,100 under the 2004 purchase price. At 2500 square feet, it has more square footage than many single family homes […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom unit right in the heart of Taylor Street at 1408 W. Taylor in November 2010. See our prior chatter here. Back then, the primary discussion was on whether or not this area should be called “Little Italy” or “Taylor Street.” I had called it “Tri-Taylor” which wasn’t, apparently, correct […]
Townhouses seem to be hotter than condos right now, especially those priced in the $400,000s. But what about townhouses like this 2-bedroom in the Lakewood Commons development at 2357 N. Wayne in Lincoln Park that is priced just slightly above that? It’s been on the market since February 2011 and has been reduced $50,000. It is […]
This 4-bedroom traditional style home with its center hall staircase at 6070 N. Forest Glen in Sauganash has been on the market since June 2010. In that time it has been reduced $200,000. Built in 1930, it has a distinctive slate tile roof. It also still has many of its vintage features, including original lead […]
We chattered about this 2-bedroom townhouse at 1437 W. Altgeld in Lincoln Park several times including when it was recently reduced in March 2011. See our March 2011 chatter here. At that time, some of you thought it would sell quickly given that it was a townhouse, and not a condo, had parking and outdoor […]
Many of you are fans of this unique 4-bedroom Chicago bungalow at 5501 W. Cullom in Portage Park. We’ve been chattering about Portage Park recently so it makes sense to, once again, chatter about this home. Originally on the market in July 2009- we last chattered about it in May 2010 after it finally sold. […]
This 4-bedroom Victorian single family home at 4044 N. Lawler in Portage Park has been on and off the market since December 2007. In that time, it has been reduced $229,000. At $485,000, it is still among the 10 most expensive listings in the Portage Park neighborhood. Built in 1906, the house still has some […]
