Sunday Featured Open Houses for July 25th

If you haven't had a chance to hear dotdotdot you have a chance to get to know a bit more about the band by listening to Chicago’s Q101 on Sunday, August 1st at 9pm to hear Chris Payne on local101 talk about the band and talk with Adam from the band about the land of Dot.

Before that if you are out and about where they played last, (Roscoe Village) there are 2 great open houses this weekend. Both are close to each other (3 blocks or less than a 1/4 mile). The first is 1833 W School St between Ravenswood and Damen - open 11-1pm Sunday ($1.3 million) and the next is 1818 W Henderson one block north as the crow flies ($1.435 million). This is open from 1-3 on Sunday, July 25th. Both are similar - relatively new construction (School is 11 years old and Henderson is brand new.

Both feature big living spaces 4-5 bedrooms. One with a yard and the other with 3 decks including a roof deck. Hardwood, great up-to-date kitchens. It would be great to have you see both and let me know how you think they compare. Is the newer "smart house" worth $135,000 more that the other? Do you prefer a yard or a decks and skyline roof views?

And , since you are so close drive just north to 4325 N. Ravenswood and check out Architectural Artifacts - there is great parking and 4 floors of monument to Chicago's architecture - preserved from wonderful old homes and buildings - stained glass, furniture, architectural exterior and interior details. Here is an exterior artifact from the Chicago Theater.
