Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 9-bedroom mansion at 2466 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park in November 2011. You can see our previous chatter here. Strangely enough, I just mentioned this house in a comment on another post and here it is being re-listed. The house is known as the Theurer-Wrigley House. Located directly on Lincoln Park […]

This 5-bedroom Victorian Italianate single family home at 3945 N. Tripp in Old Irving Park came on the market in May 2014. But it may look familiar to many of you. It has been on and off the market since August 2007. We last chattered about it in June 2011. You can see that chatter here. Built […]

This 3-bedroom Victorian rowhouse at 1959 W. Schiller in Wicker Park came on the market in July 2014. Built in 1879 on an extra long 25×162 lot, it sits directly across the street from Wicker Park. The listing calls it a single family home- but I don’t see any separation with the home next to it […]

This 2-bedroom in the Green Brier at 559 W. Surf in East Lakeview came on the market in early August 2014. The building was built in 1903 and most of the units, including this one, have many of the vintage features of that era including 10 foot ceilings, thick crown molding and pocket doors. This unit […]

We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 2029 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park several times over the last few years. See our September 2012 chatter here. It came on the market in 2010. Last year, some of you were surprised it hadn’t yet sold. Built in 1861 on a 25×124 lot, the house pre-dates the […]

We’ve chattered about this historic 6-bedroom historic mansion at 817 W. Hutchinson in the Buena Park neighborhood of Uptown several times over the last 2 years. See our October 2012 chatter here. The Claude Seymour House is one of the many historic mansions that line Hutchinson on this landmarked block. The Elite Street column in the […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom historic farmhouse at 315 W. Eugenie in the Old Town Triangle Landmark District in June 2013. See our prior chatter here. If you recall, it was listed at $500,000 and bids were due within 72 hours. We debated the strategy of listing it for a low price and whether […]

This 5-bedroom historic house at 4362 W. Grace in Old Irving Park came on the market in April 2013. For those who love history, this house is for you. Built in 1856, it is on a 118×144 lot (or 5 1/2 city lots.) It has a rare detached 3-car garage. Most of its vintage features […]

This 3-bedroom historic farmhouse at 315 W. Eugenie in the Old Town Triangle Landmark District came on the market listed for just $500,000 only 3 days ago. (No- you aren’t reading that price wrong.) By the time you read this, it may already be too late to make a bid as “highest and best” offers were […]

As most of you know, I don’t normally cover many properties outside of the Chicago city limits but I do make exceptions from time to time. This is one of those times. There’s a castle in our midst. Dunham Castle at 5N648 Dunham Road in west suburban Wayne came on the market in September 2012. […]
