20 N. State in the Loop was converted into lofts in 2003. There are many different layouts in the building but the top floor units have 18-foot concrete ceilings and lovely authentic brick walls. This 1-bedroom makes good use of the high ceilings by duplexing up and creating, essentially, a den or dining room […]
In April, we chattered about whether this 3-bedroom duplex down at 907 S. Miller in the University Park/Tri-Taylor neighborhood would finally sell after nearly 2 years on the market and several reductions. The answer is “yes.” See our prior chatter here. The unit closed for slightly under the 2004 purchase price, however. Unit #1: […]

To refresh your memory- check out the […]
1848 W. Waveland is a vintage building that was converted into condos in 2006 in North Center. It seems to have all the bells and whistles that condo buyers look for: a good location near the North Center shops, near public transportation, central air, an in-unit washer/dryer, a parking space, and granite counter tops and […]
We chattered about this Harry Weese mid-century modern duplex at 235 W. Eugenie in Old Town several times last year. See our March 2008 chatter and pictures here. After several price reductions it was withdrawn from the market. Well, it’s back and reduced again. It’s now also listed under the 2004 purchase price. The 2-bedroom unit is in a […]

It’s also only a few blocks from the 107th street Metra stop. The listing […]
