Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 6-bedroom Queen Anne at 3500 N. Janssen in Southport in May 2013, when the housing market was on fire. See our May 2013 chatter here. But not every property participated in the buying frenzy as this house is still available this fall. Last time we chattered about it, most of you loved […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom Sears Roebuck home at 6721 W. Hurlbut in Old Norword Park in October 2010. See our prior chatter here. Back in 2010 it was listed at $674,900 and most of you thought it was overpriced. If you recall, it was constructed in 1925 on an oversized lot measuring 45x150x50x150. […]

This 6-bedroom single family home at 1345 W. Wolfram in Lakeview has been on the market since September 2012. It is on a rare double lot measuring 52×124.6 which allows it to have that other rare feature: the 5 car garage. At 9050 square feet, it has 7 full bathrooms and 2 half baths. It […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 5801 N. Glenwood in Edgewater has been on the market since April 2013. At least I think it’s a single family home. That’s how it is listed. Built in 1918, it is on a 50×125 corner lot. The property is 12,000 square feet on 2 levels. The listing says it […]

This 2-bedroom farmhouse at 2734 N. Marshfield in Lincoln Park just came on the market. Built in 1870,  it has been transformed into a contemporary loft-like space inside with a floating staircase. It has floor to ceiling windows in the back of the house which look out onto the 25×127 lot. The master bedroom is […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom single family home at 637 W. Schubert in Lincoln Park in July 2013. See our prior chatter here. It had been on and off the market at prices above $500,000 before re-listing for $499,000. Some of you were surprised it hadn’t sold yet. It’s still available and has reduced […]

This 4-bedroom cottage-style house at 1421 W. Wolfram in Lakeview has been on the market twice this year. The first time was in April and May but it didn’t sell. It recently came back on in August. It seems to have all the features buyers would look for. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are on […]

We last chattered about this historic 3-bedroom single family home at 1836 N. Lincoln Park West in Old Town in July 2013. See our prior chatter here. At that time, most of you were in love with the house but a few thought that it was overpriced at $1.729 million. An “Old Town bubble” was […]

Gary posted about this house in the forums. We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home, nicknamed the “Tuscan Villa” at 2965 N. Sheridan in East Lakeview several times over the last few years. See our August 2012 chatter here. It’s been on the market for over a year, but in July 2013, it reduced […]

We’ve chattered about this house at 3526 N. Marshfield in Lakeview several times over the last year. See our April 2012 chatter here. It not only has “ornately carved faces” on the exterior (see the listing to see plenty of pictures) but in prior listings it talked about “underground tunnels”- although that reference has now […]
