The townhouse is also now listed $46,100 under the 2005 purchase price. Though it was built in 1991, this property has been renovated with a new […]
Now that the Cubs season has officially wound down, I thought we should revisit this 3-bedroom penthouse unit at 1131 W. Addison which is nearly within throwing distance of Wrigley Field. See our May 2010 chatter and pictures here. It has one of the coolest rooftop decks in Lakeview with dead on views of the ball […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom brick Victorian at 3656 N. Tripp in Old Irving Park in August 2009. See our prior chatter here. At that time, CS Magazine had named Old Irving Park one of Chicago’s “hot” neighborhoods. Since then, this house has been reduced $50,000. Built in 1903 on a corner 34×155 lot, all […]
This 1 bedroom condo at 3660 N. Lake Shore Drive, or The New York building, in Lakeview just came on the market. We’ve chattered about distress sales in this building before. This high rise building was converted from apartments into condos in the last 10 years. This unit is on the 36th floor and has city skyline views […]
We last chattered about the Odyssey Lofts in Greektown at 775 W. Jackson in February 2008. See our prior chatter here. At that time, the building was apparently 60% sold in preconstruction and units were just about to start closing. Then, in April 2009, Crain’s reported that a foreclosure suit was filed against the building. […]
This 4-bedroom house at 6721 W. Hurlbut in Old Norwood Park might not appear special from the street. But it is apparently one of those rare Sears Roebuck kit homes from the 1920s and 1930s. Constructed in 1924, it is built on an oversized 50×150 lot and the listing says it still has the original front porch. […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 832 N. Marshfield in West Town in August 2010. See our prior chatter and pictures here. Back in August, some of you thought it was fairly priced for a single family home in that neighborhood at the list of $479,000 (and some of you thought […]
This 4-bedroom vintage home at 5255 N. Lakewood in the Lakewood Balmoral Historic District in Andersonville recently came on the market for the first time in 14 years. I’ve been told it went under contract within days and rumors are swirling there were multiple offers. Built in 1910, the arts and crafts home is on a […]
This 4-bedroom Bucktown house at 1923 N. Winchester looks like the vintage homes which were commonly built in the Bucktown neighborhood. But the listing says that there was a large addition in 2007. That has resulted in a modern interior sporting a main floor family room and multiple decks. Built on a 24×125 lot, the house has a […]
