This 5-bedroom Victorian at 6084 N. Northcott in Old Norwood Park recently came on the market. For those who don’t know, Norwood Park is in the Northwest part of Chicago, 11 miles from the Loop, with the Old Norwood Park part of the neighborhood located north of the Kennedy expressway. From the Encyclopedia of Chicago: Prior to […]

This 2-bedroom house at 3536 N. Damen in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of North Center came on the market in June 2016. The house is being marketed as a teardown so it’s being sold “as-is.” It’s on a standard Chicago lot measuring 25×125. There are other teardowns with new construction single family homes on this block […]

This 7-bedroom Queen Anne Victorian at 1904 W. Patterson in North Center has been on and off the market since April 2015. Built in 1891 on a 62.5 x 125 corner fenced in lot, it has a large wrap around porch and a 3-car garage. At 8,000 square feet, it has 7 bedrooms on both the […]

This 2-bedroom single family home at 2058 N. Leavitt in Bucktown just came on the market. But some of you remembered it from 2012 (thanks to MatthewLesko), when it was last featured here on Cribchatter. Back in 2012, it was a 3-bedroom but it’s now listed as a 2-bedroom, with a third bedroom in the basement. It was […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1805 W. Cornelia in Roscoe Village just came on the market. If it looks familiar that’s because we chattered about it numerous times in 2012. You can see our original April 2012 chatter here. In 2012 it was described as a “Victorian”. Built on a double sized Chicago lot […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom “Smart Tech” home at 900 N. Richmond in West Town (East Humboldt Park???) in February 2016. You can see our chatter here. If you recall, this is one of several dozen similar homes that have been built in West Town, Avondale, Logan Square and other gentrifying neighborhoods since the bust. These houses were […]

This 3-bedroom vintage single family home at 2031 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park originally came on the market in August 2015. We actually chattered about it in November 2015. You can see our chatter here. The listing says it was built in 1880 which would likely make it among the older homes in this neighborhood. […]

This 4-bedroom bungalow at 4426 N. Menard in Portage Park came on the market in October 2015. (Sorry, I don’t have a picture as I haven’t been able to get out to take pictures of new properties. As soon as spring arrives, I’ll be out there.) The listing says it has been renovated and has […]
