It’s located in the Bryn Mawr Historic District and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of the units, like this 3-bedroom […]
This 5-bedroom historic McCormick Rowhouse at 859 W. Fullerton in Lincoln Park has been on the market since January 2012. Built in 1890 on a 32×105 lot, it is a sought-after corner rowhouse (more windows!). However, it needs to be brought back to its former glory. The listing says “Restoration tax credits may apply.” 2 […]
If you want to live on Alta Vista Terrace, the landmarked street with 40 London-style rowhouses in Lakeview, now is your chance.

Since then, the 8-bedroom house has been reduced further and is now listed just under a million dollars at $999,000. The listing now also says ” HAS BEEN SUCCESFULLY REPAIRED THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN SUCCESFULLY […]
We’ve chattered about this unique 2-bedroom triplex in the historic Carl Street Studios at 155 W. Burton in Old Town several times before including, most recently, in May 2011. See our May 2011 chatter here. It has been on and off the market since September 2007, when I first started this blog, with no luck. […]
