About this property

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!

The host, Mr. Ross went above and beyond making sure we knew where everything was in the VRBO and offered helpful suggestions for local restaurants. The property is in a nice location and the condo is comfortable, yet beautifully maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

This is an absolutely beautiful and comfortable home. The location was ideal for us and street parking was available. This is one of the most user friendly home I have stayed in. The whole home is updated with lighting and flooring, wall treatments, etc., yet it has a very warm feeling from the vintage, classis decor. The beds were very comfortable, the giant couch in the front room is AMAZING! We had family over visiting a few times and never felt cramped. I highly recommend this home. The property manager lives on site and that brought us comfort.

Extended family get away

The property was perfect for our needs. The house was immaculate. The bathrooms were great. The kitchen was spacious. The garage parking was narrow but the description accurately forewarned of the vehicle size limitations. Location was central to our plans so we were able to drive or Uber around to our activities with ease. We would stay here again and would recommend to friends, family and anyone looking for an alternative to hotel rooms.

Nicely decorated

Spent a few days in Chicago for a short family vacation. This VRBO was central to the activities we wanted to do. All went well. A few more nonessential supplies would have been handy- a broom, dish soap, kitchen wash rags for example. No big deal, just suggestions! Thanks!

Amazing Evanston Brick property

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.

Why they chose this property

I love the closeness to Lake Michigan and down town. Evanston home of Northwestern University is with in 2 miles.....a bit more easy going and peaceful. Michigan Avenue (Magnificient Mile)with all of it's exquisite boutiques, Water Tower Place,the Hancock Building, Oak Street, Oak Street Beach, all with in a 15 minute train line on the Union Pacific train which is only 6 blocks away. The Red line will take you to Wrigley Field, Lincoln Park Zoo & down town as well. Wrigley Field home to the World Series Championship Cubs is just 15 minutes from our location!

What makes this property unique

This home offers every thing that you would need for your Holiday or business trip. Luxury and all amenities at an affordable price. Compared to area hotels this is such a great value. Just think, having your own home with much more privacy.
