This vintage 2-flat at 1943 W. Addison in North Center has been on and off the market since February 2007. It recently returned to the market in November 2009 and has since been reduced by $29,100. It is also now listed for $25,100 under its 2006 purchase price. Built in 1908, the 2-units are as follows: […]

We’ve chattered about duplex up condo units before such as this one at 1955 W. Barry in Roscoe Village. The duplex up is the preferred style as there are no basement issues and the unit feels more like a townhouse or single family home. This unit in Roscoe Village has nearly as much square footage […]

This 2-bedroom unit at 2555 W. Leland in Lincoln Square just came on the market. It’s not in the typical Lincoln Square location as it is just minutes from the cute Rockwell Crossing El stop and the few shops/restaurants that are clustered there. But it’s also not a long walk to the actual Lincoln Square […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom townhouse at 1806 N. Larrabee in Lincoln Park in February 2010. See our prior chatter and pictures here. We chattered about whether or not a 3-bedroom townhouse for under $530,000 was a deal for this location and square footage. The townhouse, which was built in 1974, ended up selling for $21,000 […]

This 2-bedroom condo at 1111 W. Madisonin the West Loop appears to be in a prime location if you’re a Blackhawks fan. This unit actually looks out over Madison, the preferred view for units in these buildings (otherwise, the units tend to overlook the parking garage and alley in the back.) The midrise building was built […]

We’ve chattered about The Churchill, at 1255 N. State Parkway, in the Gold Coast before. Built in 1924, it is a favorite amongst vintage fans for its authentic vintage units, some with hidden interior outdoor terraces. This bank owned 2-bedroom duplex is one of those with a big private outdoor terrace. It also is now listed […]

This 2-bedroom unit at 1305 S. Michigan, in the Museum Park Lofts II, in the South Loop, is in short sale. It’s only 1052 square feet, but it is a corner unit with a balcony. With the parking included, it is listed for just under $300,000. It has 10 foot ceilings, a fireplace and hardwood […]

We last chattered about this nearly 2000 square foot 2-bedroom authentic loft in the Hale Lofts at 14 N. Peoria in the West Loop in December 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. Originally listed in July 2007, it was then on and off the market for nearly 3 years. It has finally closed […]

This 3-bedroom duplex down unit at 3933 N. Marshfield in North Center just came on the market as a short sale. It is listed for $185,000 under the 2007 purchase price. There are no interior pictures, unfortunately, but the listing says the kitchen has cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The master bathroom is natural stone. […]

We first chattered about this brick and concrete 2-bedroom loft at 1528 S. Wabash in the South Loop in February 2009 and again in May 2009 after it was reduced. See our May 2009 chatter and pictures here. The loft was then withdrawn. It has recently come back on the market and, after several reductions, is now […]
