We last chattered about this unique duplex brick and timber loft at 540 N. Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville in September 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. The 2-bedroom unit had new walnut hardwood floors and walls of exposed brick. It also had a lofted area that overlooked the living room and roof-rights. […]
There still appears to be demand for new construction condo units in some neighborhoods such as this 19 unit development at 1307 W. Wrightwood, called Wrightwood Crossing, in Lincoln Park. The website says the building is aiming for U.S. green building council LEED platinum certification. Here are the stats on the building (out of 19 […]
This 2-bedroom loft at 1012 N. Milwaukee in West Town was originally converted in 1997 so it managed to keep many of its unique loft features (before the loft conversion mania of the early 2000s took over.) The loft has high ceilings, exposed brick walls and a wall of windows overlooking the 28×16 living/dining space […]
We last chattered about this 8-bedroom vintage home at 5040 S. Greenwood in Kenwood in September 2009 when it first came on the market with a “negotiable” price (i.e. no listing price but somewhere between $1.5 million and $2.5 milliion.) Photos by: Wayne Cable/Selfmadephoto.com See our prior chatter here. The 6000 square foot house had […]

This 2-bedroom unit in a courtyard building at 542 W. Brompton in Lakeview isn’t your typical vintage unit. While it has a full-sized separate dining room which is typical in this era of a building and bay windows, it also has a unique second floor “loft” area that measures 26×9 which is accessible from a staircase […]
We last chattered about this 1000-square foot renovated vintage 1-bedroom at 1450 N. Dearborn in July 2009. See our prior chatter here. The unit is still available and has now been reduced by $20,000. The 1877 building has great bones, with high ceilings and lots of windows. The unit has a fireplace. The kitchen has been […]
This 3-bedroom vintage unit at 2227 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park appears to be a regular duplex down property. But the listing says it has a “unique” 1000-square foot kitchen, bedroom, den and bathroom on the lower level. The property is not on the El side of the street. The main level has all three […]
