This 6-bedroom vintage row house at 1246 N. State Parkway in the Gold Coast came on the market in April 2016. Built in 1875, it still has some of its vintage features intact including original moldings and built-ins along with 12 foot ceilings. It also has 4 fireplaces.

This 3-bedroom vintage row house at 1845 N. Halsted in Lincoln Park came on the market in September 2016. It’s actually the building behind this main building- where the realtor sign is in the picture. If it looks familiar that’s because we chattered about it when it was last on the market in February 2013. […]

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 3-bedroom Victorian rowhouse at 1730 N. Wells in Old Town just came on the market. From what I can tell, it’s the first time it’s been on the market in 14 years. Built in 1876, it has 2050 square feet on a 22×42 lot. It has many of its original features including crown molding, […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage row house at 474 W. Deming in East Lincoln Park several times over the past year. See our November 2012 chatter here.
