We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 474 W. Deming in East Lincoln Park in July 2012. See our prior chatter here. Listed at $949,000, some of you thought that the two outdoor parking spaces were a detriment to a sale at that price. A price under $900,000 seemed the more common guess of […]

We last chattered about this vintage 3-bedroom rowhouse at 1828 W. Cornelia in Roscoe Village in May 2012. See our prior chatter here.
