Madison Dearborn managing director/co-founder David Mosher bought a six-bedroom, 7.1 bath at 1907 N. Burling for $3.825 million from Tinkers Development on Aug. 16

Tinkers, a Chicago developer, paid $1.14 million for the property in Aug. 2004. The home was listed for $3.878 million and sold after 512 days-- nearly a year and one-half- on the market.

Mosher, 50, co-founded the private equity firm MDP in 1992 after nine years with First Chicago Venture Capital. He's also held various positions with Teradyne, Inc. and Texas Instruments.

Mosher, who got earned M.B.A. from Babson College in Wellesley, Mass., is on the board of directors for Iplan, LLC, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and The Renaissance Society.

The 1800-1900 blocks of Burling St. in Lincoln Park has become home to some of Chicago's most pricey addresses. Insurance magnate Richard Parillo paid $12.5 million for 1929-35 N. Burling in July 2005 and General Growth Properties CEO John Bucksbaum has a five lot mansion at 1864 N. Burling.
