Catherine Brennan at Sudler Sothebys has the listing. […]
Some properties continue to go under contract quickly like this 3-bedroom townhouse at 320 N. Clinton in Fulton Station in the Fulton River District. These townhomes were built in 1998.

This 3-bedroom authentic loft at the Park 1500 Lofts at 1500 W. Monroe in the West Loop just went under contract. It has been reduced $50,000 since January. It’s rare to see 3-bedroom lofts in this price range. The listing says the loft has 14-foot high timber ceilings. And the bedrooms appear “authentic”- with no […]
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit at 1120 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park twice before. See our December 2008 chatter where many of you discussed the “right” price for this unit as well as the pros and cons of living right on Armitage.
