340 On the Park isn’t the only building with lake views in Lakeshore East. The Chandler, at 450 E. Waterside Drive, also has stunning city and lake views from the north facing units. Unit #2902, a 3-bedroom unit, is back on the market after closing last February. According to the listing, it is a “very motivated seller.” It […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a “pocket listing” mentioned in the Chicago market. A pocket listing is a property for sale that isn’t on the MLS/market but the seller makes it known that he/she is interested in receiving offers on the property. Usually- you see pocket listings when the market is hot or the property is […]
This 4-bedroom, 3700 square feet condo at 10 E. Schiller in the Gold Coast was advertised as “Lake Forest in the city.” It was renovated vintage with on-site parking included in the price. The boutique building also has an elevator. It sold in 4 months – but at 27% off its original listing price. See the pictures […]
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom greystone property at 1120 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park several times. It was recently reduced another $10,000. It has central air, a washer/dryer in the unit, and parking. Mary Gott at Koenig & Strey has the listing. See the pictures here. Here’s its history: Unit #301: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, […]
We’ve chattered about this vintage co-op building at 3500 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview before because the units are massive and some of them appear to be “cheap.” Unit #2B has gone under contract after over 2 years on the market and a 45% price reduction. Here’s its history: Unit #2B: 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, […]
We’ve chattered about the stresses in 33 W. Ontario, the Millenium Centre, as foreclosures and short sales have appeared in the River North highrise. 33 W. Ontario was developed and marketed by American Invsco. But this is the most expensive lis pendens to date. Here’s the history: Unit #60SE: Sold in March 2005 for $1.9 million Sold in […]
An interesting phenomena is happening in Trump Tower Chicago, at 401 N. Wabash in River North. And I’m not talking about The Donald’s financing problems. It’s the prices that flippers are asking for rental units on the one bedroom condos in the building. Here’s the stats on the building (out of 758 units): 116 units for […]
Didn’t someone post a few months ago that the worst was over for the foreclosures in The Sterling, at 345 N. LaSalle in River North? But I keep seeing them. The good news is, they keep selling if they’re priced cheap enough. Unit #1501, a 2/2, was just recently listed although the listing has mysteriously vanished. Is […]
We haven’t yet chattered about The Aquitania, the 1923 co-op vintage beauty at 5000 N. Marine Drive in Uptown/Edgewater. Is this 1600-square foot 2 bedroom priced right for someone with “vision”? It has good bones. The unit has lake views and the listing says the kitchen was “redone” with frosted glass cabinets. Victoria Amoroso […]
