This 2-bedroom loft at 400 N. Racine in West Town just came on the market (or is this the West Loop? It’s north of the railroad tracks so I’m calling it West Town.) It’s not the small packaged and staged type of loft we normally see. At 2650 square feet it has a wide open floor […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom townhouse at 642 N. Armour in West Town in August 2012. See our prior chatter here. It was then listed for $10,000 more than the 2003 purchase price but most of you thought that list price was nuts- considering what the property looked like in the pictures. Since then, […]

We last chattered about this unique 4-bedroom house in what was a former garage at 1424 W. Ohio in West Town in March 2011. See our prior chatter here.

This 4-bedroom Victorian at 1726 N. Richmond in West Town just came on the market after a total rehab. If you’re wondering about the location, so did I. The listing has it as West Town but in the actual description it says it is a “gorgeous Logan Square gut rehab.” You can’t be both West […]

A lot of you have sent me questions over the years about the historic brick bungalows in the Ukranian Village like this 4-bedroom at 2034 W. Thomas. Built in 1897 on a 24×120 lot, it has been renovated and now has a more open floorplan. It doesn’t appear much of its vintage character remains on the […]

This 2-bedroom at 2029 W. Division in West Town recently came on the market. It is bank owned. The listing says that it is a Freddie Mac First Look Initiative property for the first 15 days (meaning owner-occupiers get the first look at it.) But the listing also says that the building is “all rentals.” […]
