Located at 1646-48 N. Wolcott Ave., the two-story, four- unit apartment building and the one- bedroom coach house were bought for $1,550,000 by Michael Kane and Barbara Chun in July from two different sellers in two transactions, county records show . Charlie DiGiovanni owned two of the apartments and the coach house for 26 years. "I am happy for the neighborhood. This all worked out perfectly. The guy buying it is super nice. I constantly had people writing me to buy the property. I thought it was time to let it go," DiGiovanni said.
