Crib Chatter

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 […]

This 6-bedroom single family home at 1845 W. Newport in Roscoe Village has been on the market for 9 months. It has been completely gut rehabbed with modern features. The listing says it has a “chef’s kitchen” with white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. 3 of the bedrooms are on the second floor and 2 […]

We’ve chattered about the Spencer Kimbell Mansion at 2556 N. Kimball in Logan Square before. See our June 2012 chatter here. Since then, the 8-bedroom house has been reduced further and is now listed just under a million dollars at $999,000. The listing now also says ” HAS BEEN SUCCESFULLY REPAIRED THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN SUCCESFULLY […]

I think several of you have mentioned this 4-bedroom house at 529 W. Wrightwood in East Lincoln Park in previous threads about this neighborhood. It came on the market in May 2012. It is currently listed both for sale and for rent but the rental listing says the owner prefers a 6 to 9 month […]

We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom single family home with loft features at 1275 N. Hermitage in Wicker Park several times. See our May 2012 chatter here. It was listed last fall and then withdrawn. The house then came back on the market in the spring at a slightly higher price. But since that time, it […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 1414 W. Ohio in West Town (is this Noble Square?) came on the market in August 2012. It was bank owned in 2007 and last sold in 2008. If you have a Redfin account, you can see a 2008 picture of the front of the house. The listing says […]
