Previously, there have been issues with new McMansions in Bucktown going into foreclosure. The seller of these two houses on West Charleston also appear to be in serious distress. 2322 W. Charleston: 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 car garage Old house sold in January 2005 for $360,000 Public records show it sold for $1.5 million in January 2007 (not […]
