This 1-bedroom authentic loft in the Lakeview Lofts at 3201 N. Seminary in Lakeview just came on the market. A lis pendens foreclosure was filed in April 2010 so I’m not sure why it has only just come on the market. At 920 square feet, it has exposed brick and tall timber ceilings. The bedroom […]

  This 1-bedroom loft in the China Club Lofts at 616 W. Fulton in the West Loop recently came on the market. It has authentic loft features including 16-foot high timber ceilings and exposed brick. The large windows are south facing with an attached balcony. The kitchen has maple cabinets, granite counter tops and black […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom loft in the Larchmont Lofts at 1801 W. Larchmont in North Center in November 2011. See our prior chatter here. Back then, the loft was listed as a short sale at $225,000 which included the parking. Several of you thought that wasn’t that bad of a deal considering #211, […]

We last chattered about this brick and timber triplex loft in the Mandel Brothers Lofts at 811 W. Aldine in Lakeview in July 2010. See our prior chatter here. That was 18 months ago. Since then, it has been reduced $58,500 and is now a short sale. The listing says to “bring all offers.” If […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex loft at Dearborn Tower at 1530 S. State in the South Loop in April 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time it was listed for $734,000 but most of you thought it would sell for around $500,000 given what was going on in the South Loop […]

This 2-bedroom penthouse loft (is this even a loft???) at 1307 S. Wabash in the South Loop just came on the market. It has vaulted ceilings and, at 1680 square feet, is not your typical-sized 2-bedroom condo. The bedrooms have full floor to ceiling walls for added privacy. This unit has two outdoor spaces: a […]

This 2-bedroom corner loft in the Westgate Lofts at 331 S. Peoria in the West Loop has been on the market since August 2011. It is a brick and timber loft with high ceilings but it also has the privacy of 2 fully enclosed bedrooms. The listing says both bathrooms have been redone. The second […]

If you saw the recent episode of House Hunters with the Chicago couple looking for a 2/2 with a $400,000 budget, you would have recognized this loft building at 2750 N. Wayne in Lincoln Park. The 2/2 on the episode actually just sold on December 1, but there is another 2/2 still listed, Unit L. […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom authentic loft in the Studebaker Lofts at 1619 S. Michigan in the South Loop in July 2010. See our prior chatter here. The loft has a massive New York-style open layout with 17 foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a refurbished tin ceiling. Since it’s a top floor unit, it has […]

We first chattered about the Chess Lofts at 320 E. 21st in the South Loop in June 2008 when the loft conversion building had just started closings. At that time, the flippers were active (remember them?) and “all offers considered” was the name of the game. See the June 2008 chatter here. Then, we chattered […]
