We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3134 N. Oakley in North Center in September 2011. See our prior chatter here. This is one of those “renovation/flips”. If you remember, this house had been bank owned earlier in 2011 and sold in July 2011 for $285,000. Just weeks later it returned to the market listed […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom bungalow at 4820 N. Tripp in the Mayfair neighborhood of Albany Park (is part of Mayfair also in Irving Park?

We actually last chattered about this 1-bedroom in the historic Marlborough at 400 W. Deming in Lincoln Park in February 2010 when the bank decided to try and rent the unit out.

This 4-bedroom rowhouse at 640 E. Oakwood in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood on the South Side recently came on the market. Built in 1882 on a 17×125 lot, the rowhouse has been renovated. Unfortunately, none of the interior vintage features remain but that’s not the fault of the current renovator. This rowhouse was bank […]
This 4-bedroom Victorian at 4112 N. St. Louis in the Irving Park neighborhood has been on the market since August 2011. It was previously a 3-bedroom house that was bank owned and sold in January 2011 for just $98,000. You can see a few pictures from the prior bank owned listing here.
