Jameson building all over Chicago area

Condo buyers can choose from over a dozen duplex developments in Chicago being marketed by Jameson Realty Group.

The company is currently offering a wide array of new construction and renovated duplex condominiums in Rogers Park, Ravenswood, Albany Park, Andersonville, Ravenswood Manor and Margate Park.

In a duplex, you can get more living space, said Charles Huzenis, president of Jameson Realty Group.

"Duplex condominiums also provide residents with a nice separation of space. Residents can live and entertain in their common areas on the first floor -- kitchen and living, dining and family rooms -- and have the bedrooms on the second level," Huzenis said.

Another lure of the duplex is that it feels like a single-family home with maximum space but without the maintenance, he said.

Many of the duplex condo developments are housed in older courtyard buildings and smaller apartment properties. Although the walk-up courtyard buildings were built years ago, today's vintage condo-conversion developers typically offer major refurbishments, such as new electrical and heating systems as well as new bathrooms and kitchens.

Other duplex condominiums sport new construction, some with modern architecture and others with Old World-style influences.
