If you want more space but want to stay in the West Loop neighborhood, a townhouse is usually the property of choice for most move up buyers. This townhouse in the Chelsea Townhomes development, at 1137 W. Monroe was built by Belgravia in 2006. It has 3 bedrooms, as well as 3 outdoor spaces, and a West Loop location […]
We’ve chattered about new construction high-rise, RD 659, at 659 W. Randolph in the West Loop numerous times in the last year as it just started closings and some buyers had trouble obtaining financing. Thanks to the tipsters who sent me information about the “bank liquidation pricing” that started on the remaining available units over the weekend. According to someone […]
Are 2-bedroom the “new” 1-bedroom condo units? This 1200 square foot 2-bedroom in 1000 W. Adams in the West Loop recently came on the market for $60,100 less than its 2007 purchase price. It is a soft-loft type unit where the bedroom walls don’t go all the way to the ceiling. The ceilings are 10-feet […]
Large private terraces are big selling points for many condo units and this one attached to a top floor 2-bedroom unit at 936 W. Madison in the heart of the West Loop fits the bill. There’s no one above you (so no cigarette butts or errant cheeseburgers raining down on your head) and it looks like […]
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 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 […]
This vintage 3-bedroom rowhouse at 25 S. Oakley in the West Loop near the United Center has great bones. It has high ceilings, great windows, crown moldings and 2 wood burning fireplaces. The listing says its been renovated but it appears to lack central air. But its sales history also seems to tell the tale of Chicago’s housing […]
The Singer Lofts at 1019 W. Jackson was in that group of West Loop loft buildings converted in the 1990s so some of the authentic features were maintained. This duplex penthouse unit has 17-foot ceilings and two private decks. Ken Jungwirth at Rubloff has the listing. See more pictures, the virtual tour and the floorplan […]
