Bucktown and Wicker Park seem to be hotbeds of contemporary architecture in the city such as this 4-bedroom single family home at 1746 N. Wood which was built in 2003. It is currently listed for $201,000 less than the 2003 purchase price. Do these wide-open contemporary layouts sway some vintage lovers? Jeff Lowe at Prudential […]
Thanks to the tipster who sent me information regarding this 4-bedroom American four square in Edgewater Glen at 1456 W. Norwood that went under contract within 2 days. The listing says the kitchen has been renovated with honed granite, Viking, Miele and Franke finishes. It also seems to have all the bells and whistles including […]
Time Out Chicago has its annual real estate issue out this week called “Where to live now.” There are a few properties featured under a section called “motivated sellers” about sellers eager to sell their homes. In the magazine version, they are blurbs amongst the articles that say, “Take my home, please!” One of them […]
We last chattered about this top floor unit with a rooftop deck and “renaissance interior” at 2015 W. Fullerton in Bucktown in February 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It has since been reduced $50,000. Mark Glusker at Mark Allen Realty has the listing. See more pictures here and here.) (Once again, please be thoughtful about […]
We’ve been chattering about a bunch of Bucktown homes lately. This 1891 brick cottage at 2110 N. Hoyne recently came on the market. The listing says it was renovated less than 5 years ago and the study can be converted into a 3rd bedroom. Is this vintage cottage listed for under $600,000 a “deal” for Bucktown? David Wolf at @Properties has the […]
How much of a “deal” was 1469 W. Foster, the 4-bedroom rowhouse in Andersonville we just chattered about? This 3-bedroom rowhouse at 1920 W. Wolfram in West Lakeview was built in the same year: 1892. The layout is similar with the narrow living space (the livingroom is 17×11.) It has 3 bedrooms, instead of 4, and they’re also […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom top floor condo at 2042 N. Clark in Lincoln Park in April 2008. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It was withdrawn from the market and has just been re-listed at $1000 more than its April 2008 listing although you might not realize it by first glancing at the listing. The […]
This 4-bedroom 1892 vintage Italianate rowhouse at 1469 W. Foster in Uptown just came on the market and already had several offers within the first 48 hours. The rowhouse has skylights, central air, a sunroom and parking for 2 cars. The listing says there’s room for a garage. Yes- the bedrooms are small. But apparently, the […]
We last chattered about this big brick and timber 3-bedroom duplex loft at 11 N. Green in the West Loop in July 2008. It’s got 17-foot high ceilings, huge windows and the spiral staircase. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It is still on the market and has now been reduced by $250,000. Why […]
We’ve talked about the new construction single family home and the renovated single family home, but what about the house that is “95% new construction”? This 4-bedroom home at 4856 N. Lawndale in Albany Park has been completely renovated- apparently down to the foundation. The listing says the house has a basement with a 5th bedroom and […]
