If you enjoy the holidays, this is the place to be! This amazing property is perfect at any time of the year; however, if you are traveling between mid September - early January, you will be welcomed by a festive holiday display on the front exterior the property. The space itself offers 2 bedrooms and 2 amazing bathrooms with higher end finishes. Beautiful modern upgrades throughout. Large kitchen with quartz countertops, which provides seating for 4. The building has a shared large patio with lake views in the front the building. Bath 1 has 4 body sprays and a powerful rain head and Bath 2 has a jetted bathtub/shower combo. In unit laundry & supplies. Walking distance to bars, restaurants, Starbucks, Loyola and the Red line train station.

If your car is greater than 200” in length, please reach out to host well in advance to confirm if your vehicle will fit. We have access to a second garage space that is slightly bigger; however, the space gets booked up quickly, so you must confirm well in advance. For those who have larger pick up trucks, you will likely have a difficult time finding a place to park, as Chicago is dense and parking is limited; however, please reach out to the host and she will check to see if there are alternative parking options available.

About the host
Hosted by Diane Mikutis
I’ve lived in Chicago for 25 years, originally from the East Coast. I recently retired from banking and now focus on helping others looking for real estate. I’ve owned my real estate company since 2005 and I am also a landlord with long term rentals. I have 2 short term rentals, including this location and a larger 3br/2bth unit on the next block, also steps from the lake/beach. If you are here looking for real estate, let me know! Always glad to help you find a space!

The building has a shared large patio with lake views in the front the building. Bath 1 has 4 body sprays and a powerful rain head and Bath 2 has a jetted bathtub/shower combo. In unit laundry & supplies. Walking distance to several bars, restaurants, Loyola and the Red line train station.

What makes this property unique
Location! We are steps from the lake, beach, park and there are restaurants, bars, Starbucks and the red line is 5 blocks away. There are often things to do at the park and we enjoy local musicians who come and play at the park. It’s also a very dog friendly area.
The property has outside security cameras. 2 facing North in the front patio area, 2 in the back alley on garages, 1 on east side of garage, 1 in the east back fenced in area facing north. Also, there are additional cameras not in shared spaces- 1 camera on the 3rd floor back deck facing south and 2 on the rooftop deck.
