Crib Chatter

As many of you know, I don’t often post on the suburbs because there is just too much going on in the city of Chicago. But given that many of you ARE interested in the inner ring suburbs, I occasionally do venture beyond the city limits. Thanks to the tipster who pointed out this 4-bedroom […]

This 3-bedroom home at 3100 N. Leavitt in North Center doesn’t look like most of the other properties out there. (Sorry about the yucky picture but it was pouring rain that day. I’ll try to do better next time.) Built in 1908, the building is apparently a former bakery. All of the living space is on the […]

We last chattered about this 6000 square foot Gold Coast vintage single family home at 1358 N. Dearborn in October 2009. See our October 2009 chatter here (sorry- no pics). The house had been completely renovated with luxury finishes including walnut floors, heated stone floors in the bathrooms, and a 3-car garage (which is somewhat […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom new construction single family home at 738 W. Belden in Lincoln Park in February 2011. See our February 2011 chatter here. At that time, the property had been on the market over 2 years and had been reduced 50% from its original list price of $3.69 million. It was […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 2941 W. Lyndale in Logan Square just came on the market. It is bank owned. Built in 1893 on a 25×100 lot, the listing says it is one of the original homes in the area. It is just a block to the California blue line stop. There are no […]

We last chattered about this 6-bedroom single family home at 1402 W. George in Lakeview in November 2010. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it had recently been reduced and was listed $80,000 under the 2004 purchase price. It sold in May 2011, after 11 months on the market, for $170,000 under the […]

This 4-bedroom new construction single family home at 3935 N. Paulina on the edge of Lakeview and North Center came on the market in May 2011. The property/lot has an interesting history. A 3-bedroom, 1 bath small frame house was originally on the property. In 2007, it came on the market and was being marketed as […]

We have chattered about the 5-bedroom home at 3945 N. Tripp, also known as the “Race House” in Old Irving Park several times since May 2009. See our October 2010 chatter here. It has been on and off the market since August 2007. Back in October, most of you were in love with the renovation […]

We last chattered about this vintage 3-bedroom single family home at 4838 N. Seeley in Lincoln Square in February 2011. See our February chatter here. Since that time, it has been reduced $23,000. On the market for the first time in 14 years, the house has professional landscaping as well as a large back deck. […]

This 7-bedroom new construction single family home at 2662 N. Geneva Terrace in Lincoln Park is in an enclave of mansion homes called “Geneva Terrace”. The listing says this is a bank owned house (as is its neighbor across the courtyard at 2659 N. Geneva Terrace which is listed for $3.25 million.) Geneva Terrace appears […]
