This 3-bedroom vintage townhouse at 621 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview just came on the market. It’s rare to find a 3-bedroom townhouse in this location because of the age of the properties in East Lakeview. This townhouse has some of its vintage features intact including crown molding, two fireplaces, French doors, and a secret […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 2343 W. Altgeld in Logan Square in April 2010. See our prior chatter here. Most of the chatter was on the rowhouse’s location near the Kennedy Expressway. The rowhouse is on a smaller than normal Chicago lot of 18×100. If you recall, it has 2-bedrooms on the […]

This 4-bedroom Victorian Italianate row house at 2000 N. Orleans in Lincoln Park came on the market in August 2012. Built in 1876 on a smaller than standard Chicago lot of 25×77, it still manages to pack a lot of amenities into the space. It has a front deck, a private rooftop deck, and a […]

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. Last year, when it was originally listed at $949,000, some of you thought that the two outdoor parking spaces were a detriment to a sale at that price. […]

We chattered about this 4-bedroom historic rowhouse at 3837 N. Alta Vista Terrace in Lakeview in December 2012 after it sat on the market for several months. See our December chatter here. Back then, the rowhouse had just been reduced $50,000 to $450,000 but most of you thought that was still to high given that […]

We’ve chattered about rowhouses on historic Alta Vista in Lakeview many times on Crib Chatter. This is the block long street with 40 rowhouses made to resemble London rowhouses. It is a landmark block. This 4-bedroom rowhouse at 3837 N. Alta Vista has been on the market since May 2012. Built in 1901, it is […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 1919 N. Lincoln Park West in East Lincoln Park in September 2012. See our prior chatter here. We’ve chattered about this rowhouse several times, including the last time it sold in 2010. If you recall, it came back on the market in September 2012 with a new, […]

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 […]

Many of you have sent me tips over the years about various rowhouses north of Armitage on Bissell (usually those on the El side of the street that seemed like “deals”.) There’s something about this row of vintage rowhouses that we love. This 3-bedroom end unit rowhouse at 2137 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park came on the market […]
