The Property: Set in a small tower atop a five-story loft building in Armour Square, this three-story loft sits among some of the Near South Side’s most interesting neighborhoods. The dining, shopping, and culture of Chinatown, Pilsen, and Bridgeport are all in easy reach—and they can all be seen from the loft’s four different balconies...

List Price: $2.999 million
The Property: Today’s house is named Woods End, but given its sylvan setting, it really ought to be called Woods Heart. It’s a series of steep-roofed pavilions, each containing a major part of the living space and topped with huge skylights. The rear of the house is walled with windows and wrapped with an elevated 175-foot-long deck...

List Price: $1.19 million
The Property: In the early 20th century, the Villa neighborhood was advertised as “The Beauty Spot of the Northwest Side.” Its Arts and Crafts houses are still there, as are the landscaped parkways and the stone light posts (although those are now used as planters), and only a few out-of-character buildings have been added...

List Price: $899,000
The Property: Among the many well-preserved historical homes in the Gold Coast, the one at 1325 North Dearborn Street stands out for its façade, which is graced with 17 Moorish arches, most of them trimmed with blue mosaic glass. Known as the Lucius Mantonya Flats and dating to 1887, the building, designed by Curd Gottig, was originally the single-family home of L. B. Mantonya, a prominent Chicago shoe and boot wholesaler...

The Property: At the end of a long private drive through an enclave of notable Wheaton homes stands this columned, ivy-covered manor. Although it looks as if it might have been picked up from some historical setting, it’s just 20 years old. It borrows, however, from the traditions of country homes in the United Kingdom and some of the grand Georgians in Virginia...

List Price: $3.199 million
The Property: In 1910, John A. Nourse, a Chicago lumberman and veteran of the Civil War—where he served with the Chicago Board of Trade Battery—moved his family to a big new residence on a large lot in Wilmette. A century later, the neighborhood still has brick-paved streets, and the house remains a stately presence on its corner. But the place has been expanded and updated to provide for a 21st-century family, while keeping much of its early 20th-century charm intact...

List Price: $2.1 million
The Property: There’s nothing junior about the Marshall Field Jr. mansion. Now containing six condominiums but once a 43-room house, the red-brick Queen Anne building looms large, both physically and metaphorically, over the most historic stretch of Prairie Avenue...

List Price: $2.679 million
The Property: It’s like a huge terrarium for humans, this 31-year-old home tucked away in a densely wooded part of Riverwoods. Two-story glass walls mark the boundary between indoors and out, though there is not much distinction between the two realms, with a gigantic rubber tree growing indoors and such outdoor denizens as deer and squirrels frequently wandering up to the windows...

List Price: $3.25 million
The Property: With Belmont Harbor at one end and the shopping and dining options of Broadway at the other, the block-long Hawthorne Place is one of Lake View’s great urban streets. But it also feels quite suburban, with big homes built on extra-large lots, mostly in the 1890s and the early 20th century...

List Price: $5.495 million
The Property: Standing high on a Winnetka bluff in what’s known as the Ravines, this 50-year-old house offers a view to the west of the tree-filled ravine and to the east of Lake Michigan. On a gorgeous summer day like the one when we shot today’s video, it’s easy to see why Robert and Moya Chase haven’t wanted to move in the 35 years since they bought the home...
