It’s been awhile since we chattered about the Jackson Park Highlands neighborhood in the South Shore. This 6-bedroom English manor at 6909 S. Cregier was built in 1931. The neighborhood is a Chicago landmark district. Founded in 1905 it is only a few blocks long- starting at 67th and ending at 71st Street. This 7000 […]
Back in May 2010 we chattered about whether or not it mattered if a property was “Nate Berkus designed” as the listing says it is for this 2-bedroom penthouse at 632 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park. See our prior chatter here. Most of you concluded that it didn’t matter so much. 6 months later, the […]
The new luxury hotel/condo building, The Elysian at 11 E. Walton in the Gold Coast has been defying the luxury sales downturn as the building has nearly sold out. (It is the tall building on the left.) Crain’s reported on November 9 that 45 out of 51 units had sold. See the Crain’s story here. Now, […]
We’ve seen prices roll back to 1999 levels in some neighborhoods but I believe this 5-bedroom tudor home at 5501 W. Byron in Portage Park is the first I’ve seen listed at the 1998 purchase price. It is a short sale. Built in 1940 on a 31×124 lot, the vintage brick tudor also has a 2-car garage. 2 out of the […]
This full floor raw space at 152 W. Huron in River North is waiting to be built out. It is 4000 square feet with 14 foot ceilings and exposed brick. The loft is 45 feet across and has south, north and eastern views. There is also an elevator that opens directly into the unit. As you can see from […]
It’s not often we chatter about an authentic loft like this one in the Piano Factory Lofts at 1335 W. Altgeld in Lincoln Park because Lincoln Park just wasn’t as industrialized as other city neighborhoods. Converted into condos in the early 1990s, these lofts don’t skimp on space. With 10-foot high ceilings, this 1000-square foot 1-bedroom has […]
This 1-bedroom at the newer construction modern highrise at 550 N. St. Clair in Streeterville was recently reduced and is now listed $100k under its July 2010 list price. It is also a short sale. This building was hot in pre-construction in 2005-2006 as it is only a block off the Mag Mile. It also had the “in” contemporary […]
We last chattered about this 5-bedroom vintage mansion at 629 W. Fullerton in Lincoln Park in February 2010. See our prior chatter here. It had 7,000 square feet of living space with all 5 bedrooms upstairs. It also had a 2-car garage, 4 fireplaces, central air along with a new DeGiulio kitchen. After about 3 […]
