Is modern “out”?
This 4-bedroom concrete and glass modern mansion at 1809 N. Hoyne in Bucktown is currently listed as a “short sale.”
It has concrete floors and what looks to be a concrete bathroom.
Anthony Madonia at @Properties has the listing. See the pictures here.
1809 N. Hoyne: 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, no square footage listed, 2 car garage
There are some lovely vintage properties in the Logan Square neighborhood including this 1914 4-unit building at 2501 N. Francisco.
This 3-bedroom unit just came on the market. It has central air and an in-unit washer/dryer but is missing a parking space.
What will the market be like for this conversion type vintage unit 3 years later?
Gino Albert at Sunshine Real Estate & Investment has the listing. See more pictures here.
Unit#2: 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, no square footage listed
We last chattered about this rare single family home at 1418 W. Fulton in the Fulton Market District in the West Loop in October 2008.
Since October, it has been reduced $100,000.
See our prior chatter and pictures here.
Many of you thought it would be hard to sell a single family home in that trendy, industrial neighborhood.
Ed Hester at Dreamtown Realty still has the listing. See pictures of the modern interior, pictures of the rooftop deck and a virtual tour here.
1418 W. Fulton: 6 bedrooms, 3 full, 2 half baths, 3 car garage
This 2-bedroom loft at 2512 N. Bosworth in Lincoln Park advertises in its listing that it has “new SS APL”.
Do the color of the appliances matter when you’re buying a property?
The listing also says the loft has been reduced by $20,000.
Susan Johnson at Baird and Warner has the listing. See the pictures here (including a nice one of the new stainless steel appliances.)
Unit #404: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1430 square feet
We’ve chattered about The Marquee at 1464 S. Michigan in the South Loop several times since it began closing on units in early 2008.
See prior chatter and interior pictures of the units here.
Current stats on the building (out of 214 units):
Some units may be both for sale AND for rent.
It’s only a year later and short sales are starting to appear in the building.
The agent is being aggressive about lowering the price on this 2-bedroom unit listed as a “short sale”, Unit #1803, as the price has been plunging in the last week.
Unit #1803: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, no square footage given
It is the cheapest 2/2 in the building.
Is this a “deal” at this price?
212 W. Washington, City Center Club, is a 1990s conversion in the heart of the Loop. Currently, there is a new luxury rental apartment building being built directly across the street.
Would buying in 212 W. Washington be a good investment given the construction activity in the neighborhood?
This 2-bedroom unit recently came on the market. While there is no floor plan provided, usually these units do not have windows in either bedroom.
But you still have an in-unit washer/dryer and a balcony with southern views.
Bradford Miller at Keller Williams West Loop has the listing. See more pictures here.
Unit #1403: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, no square footage listed
Yes, there are quite a few single family homes available in Chicago for under $100,000.
Take this 4-bedroom 1906 brick bungalow at 928 N. St. Louis in Humboldt Park that is listed as a “short sale.”
The listing says it needs TLC and there are no interior pictures.
See pictures of the exterior here.
What are you willing to pay for a piece of the American Dream?
928 N. St. Louis: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1194 square feet, 2 car garage
We’ve chattered about this vintage conversion building at 433 W. Briar in Lakeview several times.
We’ve been following Unit #3C, a 1650 square foot 2-bedroom for nearly a year.
See our February 2008 chatter about the building (with pictures) here.
See our September 2008 chatter about price reductions in the building (with pictures) here.
Unit #3C has been reduced again. It has now been reduced $66,000 from its February 2008 price.
Barbara O’Connor at Koenig & Strey is now handling sales in the building. See pictures of the units in the building here.
Unit #3C: 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1650 square feet
We’ve chattered about the Galewood community several times before. Galewood is on the far west side of the city, near Oak Park.
The neighborhood consists mainly of smaller single family homes such as this English style 1950s 3-bedroom bungalow at 2032 N. Oak Park.
Worried about the commute?
It is about two blocks from the Mars Metra Station and a 20 minute train ride to the Loop. And yes, that’s the Mars Candy Factory right across the street if you’re looking at it on Google Maps (and for which the train stop is named.)
This bungalow has central air and a finished basement with its own gas fireplace.
Art Collazo and Michelle Orton Loftus at Koenig & Strey have the listing. See more pictures here.
2032 N. Oak Park: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, no square footage listed 1.5 car garage
Are the condo conversions and new construction properties the most at risk of price declines in this housing market?
This 3-bedroom 2007 vintage conversion at 646 W. Wellington in East Lakeview just came on the market and has already had one price reduction.
It is now listed for only $9,000 above its 2007 selling price.
It has all the bells and whistles of the upscale conversion: Viking and Bosch kitchen appliances, crown molding, new hardwood floors and “oil rubbed bronze hardware”.
It also has the all-important parking space included.
Stuart Schwartz of @Properties has the listing. See the pictures and listing here.
Unit #2: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, no square footage listed
