Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom greystone at 1944 W. Farragut in the Bowmanville neighborhood of Lincoln Square in June 2012. See our prior chatter here. Originally listed for $1.349 million in May 2011, you all chimed in as to whether the Bowmanville neighborhood, which is part of Lincoln Square, could command that high of a […]

This 4-bedroom vintage brick bungalow at 3007 W. Hollywood in the Peterson Woods neighborhood of West Ridge came on the market a month ago. Built in 1928 on an oversized 65×200 corner lot,  it looks like a mini-castle because of its 2-story turret. It also boosts many of its original vintage features including a bridal staircase, leaded glass […]

This 3-bedroom historic farmhouse at 315 W. Eugenie in the Old Town Triangle Landmark District came on the market listed for just $500,000 only 3 days ago. (No- you aren’t reading that price wrong.) By the time you read this, it may already be too late to make a bid as “highest and best” offers were […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3408 N. Bosworth in Southport several times over the years. Check out our last chatter in May 2013 here. Yes- it sits right next to the Brown Line tracks. It’s now been on the market for over 3 months without a sale. However, there’s now a […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom cottage at 1441 N. Campbell in East Humboldt Park in March 2013. See our chatter here. If you recall, it was on the market for 5 months in 2012 during the peak spring/summer buying season and didn’t sell. It returned to the market at the same time of the […]

This 3-bedroom brick bungalow at 2600 W. Coyle in the Indian Boundary Park neighborhood of West Ridge came on the market in May 2013. Built in 1921 on an oversized 32×124 corner lot, it has an unusual 1-car attached garage. Two of the 3 bedrooms are on the main floor with a master bedroom on […]

A couple of years ago a few of you wrote me wondering about this 1-bedroom cottage at 2151 N. Magnolia in West Lincoln Park. Back in June 2010, it had come on the market at $905,000 but was quickly reduced to $829,000. It never sold and was withdrawn in July 2011 listed at $829,000. Built […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom Georgian at 6244 N. Kirkwood in Sauganash in January 2013. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it was listed at $829,000 which many of you thought was simply too high for a home that needed updating. Since that chatter, it has been reduced several times and is […]

This 3-bedroom brick English Tudor at 4852 W. Catalpa in Forest Glen recently came on the market. Built in 1939, it is on an oversized 30×164 lot and has a back deck and 2-car garage. Two bedrooms are on the second floor with a bathroom while the master bedroom is on the main floor. This […]

This 3-bedroom French Normandy single family home at 1901 N. Newcastle in Galewood recently came on the market. It had been for sale previously- between 2009 and 2011. Built in 1948 on an oversized corner lot measuring 37×125, it has hardwood floors throughout the first floor and crown molding. There is a marble fireplace in […]
