House Hunt: Five Homes For Sale We Picked at Random II

Okay, here's a bit of truth for you: as much we love producing this House Hunt each week, we're guilty of letting it get a bit repetitive. We've seen the same houses featured two or three times, for various reasons.

One of those there just aren't as many houses for sale in Western Springs anymore. When we started in mid-2011, the number was up around 130 or 140. But as we're writing this now, there are only 95 homes for sale in the Village (according to the MLS,) and when we're spotlighting five each week, we run out fast. (What that means about the housing market, we don't care to infer.) 

So when we went back in for the grab-bag (,) it actually took us a fair bit of searching to find some homes we hadn't yet given their due. But we found some! Here they are, five Western Springs houses you've never seen before on House Hunt:
