Own George R.R. Martin’s former Chicago apartment

August 21, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

Own the residence of “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin!

Granted it’s been a few years since he’s lived in the Uptown apartment… He was living here from 1971-1975 after graduating from Northwestern University with his master’s degree.

The “Game of Thrones” creator joked about how he shared the unit with five roommates, and at one point even having a bed in the dining room and back porch.

Back when Martin rented out the apartment he only had to pay $150 a month. Now the three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1,800 square feet North Side unit built in 1915 is listed $354,900, with another $12,500 in homeowner association fees and taxes each year.

The realtor company is hosting a GOT-themed open house Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
