Forget the 3-bedroom condo. Buy this bank owned 3-bedroom single family house at 1115 W. Roscoe in Lakeview for just $349,900 instead. What’s the catch? It’s on a very small 22×50 lot, with no backyard. It DOES have a 1-car garage (which you can see on the alley in the picture below.) The house has hardwood floors […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3134 N. Oakley in North Center in September 2011. See our prior chatter here. This is one of those “renovation/flips”. If you remember, this house had been bank owned earlier in 2011 and sold in July 2011 for $285,000. Just weeks later it returned to the market listed […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 1040 N. Wolcott in the East Village neighborhood of West Town several times over the years. See our July 2011 chatter here. The last time we chattered about it, in July 2011, “Andrew”, who claimed to be the owner, chimed in that they were pulling the house off […]
This 2-bedroom cottage house at 1505 W. Victoria in Edgewater recently came on the market. Built in 1886 on a smaller than standard Chicago lot of 25×115, it does have a 2-car garage.

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom cottage at 3911 N. Hermitage in Lakeview in November 2011. See our prior chatter here. It had gone under contract in just a month after being listed for $339,000. Some of you were surprised it went under contract so quickly as it wasn’t much bigger than many condos in […]
