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.

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.

Great place to stay!
This was a great place to stay-- we were in Chicago for a family member's wedding, and this condo fit us all comfortably and was very affordable. The property manager was very kind and easy to communicate with. Our place was clean and had everything we needed. We were able to easily fit a pack and play in one of the rooms for our baby. The only downfall was it took a while to drive to certain areas of Chicago, but that's to be expected. The only downfall was it waexareChibustay.

Pleasant week in Chicago
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!

Fantastic home in Chicago!
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!

Enjoyable stay
The onsite manager Ross is a wonderful host and does a great job of showing you the unit and giving you an orientation of the neighborhood. Only downside was that my rental SUV was too large for the garage. Finding street parking can be a challenge, but found good parking spots that made my lack of parallel less challenging. Highly recommend the unit. BTW, stairs only, no elevator.

Home away from home!
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.

Great apartment
Beautiful building. Very functional and easy to find. Like much of Chicago, parking can be very challenging for anything bigger than a small suv, even in neighborhoods. We mostly used public transit to get around. It wasn’t bad, with about a 15 minute walk to the nearest L train station. It was our first time in Chicago and it was fabulous.
