About this property

4BR Old Town Chicago Loft | Walk to Wells St

If you’re coming to Chicago and want space, comfort, and a location that truly works—you’ve found it.

This is not a typical rental. It’s a thoughtfully designed, art filled apartment where everything is set up for groups to gather, spread out, and enjoy time together—without sacrificing comfort.

Everything You Need, All in One Place
✅A fully stocked chef’s kitchen for cooking, catering, or casual meals at home
✅An extra-large dining table—perfect for shared dinners, brunches, or simply spending time together
✅Spacious open-plan living that lets your group spread out while still staying connected
✅Superfast WiFi & cable TV for downtime when you need it
✅Elevator access + single-level layout—no stairs to navigate
A boutique, owner-operated property—a refreshing alternative to large, impersonal hotels

As on-site owners (we have our own apartment 😉), we take your experience personally. From cleanliness to comfort to communication, every detail matters.

Who This Space Is Perfect For

Our loft is especially loved by:

⭐Families traveling together
⭐Groups of friends
⭐Bachelor & bachelorette groups looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to gather

❤️ If your vision includes sitting around the table sharing meals, relaxing together, and enjoying Chicago at your own pace—you’ll feel right at home here.
If your plans are centered entirely around excessive heavy drinking & late-night partying, this may not be the right fit. We’re a residential, family-friendly building and prioritize a respectful, comfortable environment for all.

A Location That Makes Chicago Easy

Located at the crossroads of Lincoln Park, Old Town, and River North, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the city—without being in the middle of the noise.

⭐Minutes to the Mag Mile, Fulton Market, Wicker Park, and Wrigleyville
⭐Easy access to CTA trains (Red & Brown Lines) and multiple bus lines
⭐Quick, direct routes to downtown, museums, and major attractions

This is one of those rare locations where you can experience Chicago like a local—while still being close to everything.

A Neighborhood You’ll Actually Enjoy Living In

Step outside and you’ll find everything you need within walking distance:

➡️A large Whole Foods with riverfront seating and multiple dining options
➡️Local favorites like Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba, Summer House, and neighborhood pubs & wine bars
➡️Casual spots, cafes, and local breweries for easy meals and drinks
➡️Nearby theater and comedy at Steppenwolf, iO Theater, and The Second City

It’s vibrant, walkable, and full of personality—without the congestion of downtown high-rises.

A Smooth, Personalized Experience

Because we are a boutique, owner-operated property (not a hotel), we coordinate your stay a bit differently:

➡️Communication is handled through a private WhatsApp group
➡️This allows for real-time updates, easy coordination, and quick responses
➡️We’ll guide you through arrival and be contactable throughout your stay

Our goal is simple: make everything feel easy from the moment you arrive.

A Few Important Notes
Pricing varies based on number of guests; final quotes include all applicable fees and taxes
The person booking must be part of the group and present at check-in
A signed rental agreement & guest list and ID are required prior to arrival
Third-party bookings require prior approval

✨The Bottom Line✨
If you’re looking for a spacious, well-located Chicago stay where your group can truly be together—without the compromises of a hotel—Magic Factory Loft Two East offers a rare combination of comfort, character, and personal hospitality.

We enjoyed our stay. The layout of the house is great, with a large open area connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The bedrooms are a nice size, with comfortable mattresses. The home is in a great location, within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. The owners were very nice—extremely helpful and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful, spacious place in a quiet, safe neighborhood, close to the CTA, restaurants and shops. It’s so difficult to find a rental in Chicago with enough beds but this is the perfect place to come together with family and friends. The hosts are incredibly responsive and helpful before and throughout the stay. I highly recommend Magic Factory Lofts to anyone coming to visit the city with a large group.

Our high school sailing team stayed here during a regatta. It was perfect - good space, well appointed kitchen, and enough beds and rooms for all. We will definitely stay here again next time we travel to Chicago. LOVED the app that answered ALL our questions while we were there, made things very seamless. Thank you!

Home away from Home

This is a wonderful property that was a prefect setting for a friends' get away. It is wonderfully located near downtown in the Lincoln Park area and was close to restaurants and stores. Carole, Basil and Adrian made check in and check out easy and were always just a call away. The space was so inviting we stayed in for dinner on 2 nights and cooked. It was a great trip for us in a memorable setting.

Family Reunion for Memorial

My four siblings and their families transcended on Chicago - 12 total - to attend a multi-memorial event. This was a PERFECT place - comfort, size and location - to have the entire family under one roof. Even though we came together for solemn event, the accommodations made it a memorable and joyous occasion as we were able to gather together to remember our aunts and uncle who are now no longer with us

We loved how walkable the area was and how secure our loft felt. TONS of beds and extras with the trundles underneath. Pictures don’t do the space justice, honestly. Perfect for a low-key bachelorette party (a group of 14). Basil is kind and a quick communicator.

Big Hit for Boys Bears Weekend!!!

We had an amazing stay here! We were 14 guys in our mid-50's in town for a long-weekend capped off by a Bears game. Everyone got their own bed, loved being in the space together, and found the location to be ideal, with tons of restaurants, bars, and shopping nearby. Jogging down to the lake and back - about a 3.0 mile loop was a favorite among the group. No regrets - would love to come back and do it all again. Carole was a delight to deal with.
