Walking distance to restaurants, shops and Lake Michigan,

Residence on the Avenue. A Spacious 1700 sq.ft. condo in a stunning blonde brick/limestone 1928 building on a tree lined avenue. We are a fully licensed vacation rental #2087704 and 1 of only 73 licensed vacation condos in Chicago! We are celebrating our 21st year of hosting and our 15th year hosting our Chicago condos. Master suite with whirlpool tub and separate shower. A very quiet and secure 4 unit building with front lobby entrance.
The entrance boxwood garden which is enclosed by beautiful wrought iron fencing is a hint of what awaits you inside the exquisite vintage building. There is also a fenced rear garden which can be enjoyed from your back porch. We also have a 2/bed 2/bath listed on VRBO Free inter net & long distance phone.

The interior of the unit is grand & open. The living room, dining area & kitchen over look the tree tops through the seven large windows. The finishing touch in the entertainment area is the Italian marble fireplace.

On the Evanston Border, only 1 mile from the quaint downtown home to shops, restaurants and of course Northwestern University. Loyola University and Park on Lake Michigan are only 1 mile away, a mere 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk.
Just 6 blocks to the Union Pacific train that takes you to the heart of the city in 15 minutes. Ravinia Park which is an amazing out door concert venue is reachable by the same train in 20 minutes.

Walking distance to the Red Line as well as bus service so you can reach the city center with in 20 minute. This is truly a great place to call home while exploring all the wonderful things that Chicago and the wonderful North Shore communities of Evanston, Wilmette and Kennelworth have to offer. Wrigley Field home to the World Series Championship Cubs is just 15 minutes from our location!

Everything was as described. Pretty entry was to “beautiful lady” of a building. The unit we were in was nicely refurbished. Modern but the old building charm maintained. We traveled light so the in suite laundry was great. Brand new fridge the day we got there. Amazing bedding & towels.

The apartment is beautifully decorated and updated. Ross, the host gave us a welcome tour and everything was clearly explained. Beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. We were relieved our rental minivan (just barely) fit in the garage! We did the kitchen wasn't as well equipped as we would have liked, but we were cooking a Thanksgiving meal which may have been a bit ambitious. The meal turned out well and we enjoyed our stay immensely!

On our visit we found spaciousness, convenience, locality, and peacefulness both in our rental and around. It was a nice rental as an easy home base to set out of, and a welcome respite to return to. We would rent the unit again, and do hope to be back. Very nice trip and place of stay. Thank you!

We loved this rental in Chicago! It was spacious and in a safe neighborhood. It allowed us to relax at the end of each day and wasn't too far from all the places we wanted to visit. Out host, Ross, was extremely gracious and very helpful when we arrived. I can't say enough good things about this property!

Beautiful and spacious unit with everything you could ask for. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. Great hospitality and Ross met us for checkin even though our flight had been delayed. Wonderful location and within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the CTA station (Howard). Would definitely stay again.
