This 4-bedroom single family home at 6524 S. Champlain in Woodlawn just came on the market.

This 5-bedroom single family home at 1324 W. Webster in Lincoln Park came on the market in February 2020. If it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it when it was on the market in 2017. Back then, it was listed for $2.999 million and many of you thought the price was too high […]
