Crib Chatter

The Theurer-Wrigley 9-bedroom mansion at 2466 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park has returned to the market. We’ve chattered about it several times over the years, with the last time in November 2014 when it recently came back on the market. See our chatter here. Back in 2014, it was unclear what was happening with it […]

This 3-bedroom brick single family home at 3408 N. Bosworth in Southport just came on the market.

See the October 2010 chatter here where we had a spirited discussion about how close, […]

This 4-bedroom single family home in the Budlong Woods neighborhood of Lincoln Square came on the market in August 2016. (Yes- I know the picture is bad.

It’s back! We’ve chattered about this house at 3526 N. Marshfield in Lakeview numerous times over the years. The last time was in August 2013. See that chatter here.

This 5-bedroom single family loft-like home at 1225 W. George in Lakeview came on the market in July 2016. I believe this was an old warehouse as the 1997 seller was Culinary Foods Inc.
