Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom bungalow at 4050 N. Mango in Portage Park in May 2012. See our prior chatter here. It was listed as an estate sale and was being sold “as-is.” If you recall, it was built in 1921 on an oversized 33×125 lot and was just 2 blocks from the park. But […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 1805 W. Cornelia in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of North Center in April 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back in April, most of you voiced concern over having the El on one side of the house and the Metra train on the other. Most of you […]

This 2-bedroom single family home at 1438 W. Henderson in the Southport neighborhood of Lakeview is a rare SFH in Southport in that it is listed under $700,000. It is also listed as a 2/2 but the Redfin agent who saw the house in June commented that it has 1 full bath on the second level, […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 11216 S. Oakley in Morgan Park a year ago, in September 2011. See our prior chatter here. Most of you liked this neighborhood but were concerned about the maintenance on an older home on a large lot. Since our last chatter, the house has been reduced $50,000. […]

If you’re tired of all the new construction single family homes and yearn for a unique piece of the past, then look no further than this 3-bedroom at 651 W. Hutchinson in the Buena Park neighborhood of Uptown. Hutchinson is a historic street with larger than standard Chicago lots. This house was built in 1910 […]

We last chattered about this rehabbed 3-bedroom bungalow at 4437 N. Christiana in Albany Park in July 2012. See our July chatter here. Back in July, most of you liked the rehab but weren’t sold on the Albany Park location. If you remember, it last sold in January 2012 in an estate sale for just $140,000. […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Victorian at 2029 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park in February 2012. See our prior chatter here. Many of you liked the house but were disappointed with the lack of true vintage features in the interior. Listed for $1,574,900 back in February, the house is still priced the same 7 […]

We last chattered about this 8-bedroom vintage single family home at 4527 N. Malden in Uptown in March 2012. See our prior chatter here. Most of you loved the house but not the location (and a debate about part of Uptown resulted.) Built in 1908 on an oversized 50×143 lot, it has most of its […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom American four square at 5820 N. Newark in Old Norwood Park in March 2012. See our prior chatter here. The overwhelming consensus was that it was a “nice home”, “spectacular” and “best home ever featured on CC.” But it only has 1.5 baths. And THAT was a problem for […]

We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home at 1030 W. Roscoe in Lakeview several times over the past few years. See our March 2010 chatter here. See our April 2012 chatter here. It’s been listed as high as $699,000 but now seems stuck on the $499,000 level. In April 2012 it was listed at […]
