We’ve chattered about The Donohue Building, at 711 S. Dearborn, numerous times. It was the first loft conversion in Printers Row and the units continue to be unique. This 2-bedroom brick and timber 2-story loft has all the authentic loft features, including massive open space. The listing also says it was designed by famed Oprah […]
We haven’t chattered as much about multi-family properties but I know it’s a goal for many to live in one unit and rent out the others to cover the mortgage. What about a single family home with a 1-bedroom coach house out back? Such is the case with this 2-unit property at 2212 W. Augusta Blvd. […]
We chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3449 N. Paulina in West Lakeview in January 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It had been on the market since October 2008 and had been reduced $24,500 from its original list price. It recently sold for $15,000 above its 2003 sales price. Here’s its history […]
Loft lovers dream of a space like they see in the movies with high ceilings, the wide open feel and lots of windows. This 2-bedroom penthouse loft in 758 N. Larrabee, the old Montgomery Ward building in River North, lives up the fantasy with its unique glass and steel catwalk. The listing describes the kitchen as a “cook’s […]

It’s been reduced by $15,099. Kate Mangan-Smith at […]
This 4-bedroom renovated vintage rowhouse at 4408 S. Oakenwald in North Kenwood (and a stones throw away from the lake) reflects the soaring home prices in this gentrifying neighborhood. The listing says this home has a finished basement and a completely remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Was this area caught up in the bubble or […]
We’ve chattered quite a bit about the decline in prices in Rogers Park. It is evident in the bank-owned properties like this 1-bedroom vintage unit at 7044 N. Greenview which recently came on the market. It is priced more than 50% under its 2006 sales price. There are no pictures of the kitchen or the […]
Now that The Vetro auction is over, the question remains: what happens to the other owners in 611 S. Wells? This custom 2079 square foot 1-bedroom unit with an enormous terrace came on the market just before the auction. It clearly is in a different class within the building given its finishes. The listing states […]
We chattered about this renovated 1-bedroom unit in 30 E. Elm in the Gold Coast in December 2008. In addition to being updated it also had an in-unit washer/dryer which was unusual for the building.
