OMG, I Want That House: Chicago, Illinois (Photos)

There are no shortcuts in life, so the saying goes. But that isn’t entirely true. For instance, if you want to prove your artistic cred to all of your hippest friends, you could score a gallery show or write the next big hit. Or, skip a few steps and climb your way to the creative top by acquiring the trappings of those artsy A-listers: the coolest digs in town. For only $9 million, you can move into this funky right in the heart of Chicago’s Lincoln Park.
