We’ve chattered many times about the distressed sales in The Sterling, at 345 N. La Salle in River North. Recently, a unique penthouse unit in the building came on the market as a short sale. According to the listing, Unit #4705, a massive 2-bedroom unit, has never been lived in even though the building was […]
We last chattered about this contemporary 2-bedroom unit at 1750 N. Clybourn in Lincoln Park in March 2009. See our prior chatter here. Nine months later, it is still available and has been reduced $50,000. The 7-unit building was built in 2006 by Ranquist Development which specializes in modern and contemporary architecture. The unit has more […]
When this 4-bedroom home at 1535 W. Jackson in the West Loop was built in 1893, it made sense that it would include 5 fireplaces in order to keep the occupants warm in the cold Chicago winters. Now, the house also has a professional grade kitchen with radiant heated floors. It also has central air. […]
Someone recently asked if it was possible to get a 2/2 somewhere downtown (Loop, River North, Streeterville, South Loop etc.) for under $200,000. I found this 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath unit at The Metropolis at 8 W. Monroe in the Loop listed for $195,000. It has been on the market over a year and has now […]
This 2-bedroom recent conversion condo unit at 5230 N. Campbell in Budlong Woods (just north of Lincoln Square) has been on the market since July as a short sale with no takers. It was recently reduced another $11,000. It seems to have it all with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, natural […]
This 4-bedroom new construction single family home at 1943 N. Albany in Logan Square (or is that Humboldt Park???) is being marketed as having “green” features. The listing says it has high end features such as granite, stone and recycled glass. It also has a finished basement with a full bath and parking. Is this […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom triplex at the Carl Street Studios complex at 155 W. Burton in Old Town in September 2007. It never sold and was withdrawn from the market. See our prior chatter here. 26 months later, the unit has now returned to the market and is listed for $100,000 less than in […]
We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom condo at 1013 W. Webster in Lincoln Park several times since spring of 2008. The last time we chattered about this property was in February 2009 when it evolved into a discussion about the “health” of the Lincoln Park market. See our prior chatter here. The prior price reductions apparently […]
This 4-bedroom single family home at 2501 N. Fairfield in Logan Square has been on and off the market over the last 17 months. It appears that there was a significant renovation done in 2000-2001 as the listing describes it as “newer construction”. The home now totals 3600 square feet. The kitchen has 42 inch […]
What do you get for over a half a million dollars in Edgewater Glen? This 3-bedroom 1903 Queen Anne at 1347 W. Hood has an extra wide 40×125 foot Chicago lot, which includes a side drive and garage. It has hardwood floors throughout, vintage wood work, and stained glass. The listing says the kitchen was […]
