We chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex penthouse at 1715 W. Ohio in West Town several times in the last 3 years. See our August 2011 chatter here. If you recall, the unit is no ordinary top floor unit. At 6000-square feet, it was the real deal with a massive 1700 square foot deck with downtown […]

Sellers could learn a lot from the marketing of this 2-bedroom loft at 515 N. Noble in the Noble Square neighborhood of West Town. Back in March 2012, this was a bank owned unit. At 1000 square feet, it was a large 1-bedroom loft with 12 foot timber ceilings and exposed brick which sold for just $106,000 (parking included.) […]

This 3-bedroom duplex down at 1321 N. Bosworth in West Town came on the market in late August 2012. It was last bank owned and sold in June 2012.

This 3-bedroom single family home at 1414 W. Ohio in West Town (is this Noble Square?) came on the market in August 2012. It was bank owned in 2007 and last sold in 2008. If you have a Redfin account, you can see a 2008 picture of the front of the house. The listing says […]

We last chattered about this top floor 2-bedroom at 1111 N. Winchester in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood of West Town in March 2012. See our prior chatter here. Most of the discussion centered around possibly building a rooftop deck as this unit has private access to the roof. The listing includes two pictures which depict what […]

This 2-bedroom duplex at 925 W. Wolcott in West Town recently came on the market but it might seem familiar to long time Crib Chatter readers as we chattered about it back in July 2009. See our prior chatter here. Back in 2009, it was a 3-bedroom, but many thought it was really a 2-bedroom […]

This 3-bedroom penthouse at 2408 W. Rice in West Town recently came back on the market. The modern building at the corner of Rice and Western Avenue, was built in 2008 and has 12 units.

This 3-bedroom single family home at 2544 W. Huron directly across the street from Smith Park in West Town recently came on the market. (If you’re looking at the map of it on Redfin- that isn’t correct. It literally IS right across from the park.) Built in 1997 on a 22×125 lot, it has the […]
