Most incredibly located, sun-filled home with designer kitchen, marble baths, and open-concept living areas—perfect for weekend friend getaways and weekday family or work trips. Walkable to so much of what Chicago has to offer, this spacious townhouse is located on a quiet, safe neighborhood street in historic Old Town. 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2 outdoor spaces, fully stocked kitchen, 1-car parking, and laundry. Pets are welcome! What else could you possibly need?
Please turn to the photos to get enchanted by this stunning space and to see the floor plan with layout and sleeping arrangements.

**OTHER AMENITIES** ✦ washers and dryer ✦ free Wi-Fi throughout the property ✦ free luggage storage in the garage, as well as extended free parking before check in time and after checkout may be available. ✦ free EV charger

**BEDS** - 7 queens - 1 double futon, 1 queen floor mattresses, 1 couch and a crib
**SMALL PRINT** ✦ The brown line train is nearby and you can hear it in some parts of the house. You can also sometimes here the guests in the townhouse next door. ✦ There is another rental on the property. The two share a wall but do not share any spaces inside and have separate entrances. ✦ Heat travels up. Top floor bedrooms will warmer be warmer during hot summer days.
**ACCESSIBILITY** There are 14 steps from the main floor to second floor bedrooms
**WORRY FREE CLEANING PACKAGE** At check out, you will need to take care of trash overflow, dishes, exuberant messes, and any food you brought. The worry free package covers any and all cleaning. Just walk out in the morning (you do need to move furniture back if you make any changes to layout). Note that this fee is additional to my regular cleaning fee you pay when you book the place. This package is best for those who want to decorate, cook a lot, are traveling as a group and would rather split the extra fee than worry about anything in the morning.
**HOUSE RULES** The presence of more than 18 guests is unlawful. A guest is anyone at the property, staying the night, or just visiting. Minors need to have a responsible adult present. Unredacted ID will need to be provided for primary booker prior to your arrival for advance reservations and for everyone spending any time at the property for reservations made less than 30 days in advance. There is a counter installed. I utilize a private security firm. If the counter shows more than the registered number of people or if I get a noise complaint from neighbors, security will be immediately dispatched.
**DECORATING THE HOUSE** You are welcome to decorate the house. If you attach anything to the walls, please use paint-safe tape and remove it prior to your departure. There is a $200 glitter and confetti fee.
ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD: The house is in east Old Town- best neighborhood in Chicago for both families or if you are looking to have fun. While the street itself is very quiet, tree lined and barely has cars passing by, as soon as you turn the corner, you are in the center of everything! Wells street restaurants and bars are steps away. Lincoln Park with the zoo, farm, pond, open spaces and farmers market is a 7-10 min. walk. North avenue beach is the same distance. It is perfect for walks, picnics, boat rides or good old fun in the sand. The beaches are free to the public and have breathtaking city views. Grocery shopping is made easy, seeing as Plum Market and Jewel are located right in the neighborhood. Nearby coffee shops include a 24 hour Starbucks and La Fournette. There are 103 restaurants within a 15 minute walk including some of Chicago's top restaurants including Kamehachi, Topo Gigio, The Fireplace Inn, and Woodies Flat. Bars and lounges are abundant on Wells and are all 1-2 minute walk. Shopping in Old Town is a unique experience; the majority of shops in this neighborhood are boutiques rather than well-known chain stores. Therefore, each and every store is cozy, intimate and filled with one-of-a-kind goods. The Lincoln Park Zoo is a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers. The Second City only two blocks away and it is a famous theater that specializes in sketch comedy and improv, and has been delighting audiences for over 50 years. Oak street and beginning of Michigan avenue is about 15-20 minute walk.
GETTING AROUND: The house is a five minute walk from the Brown Line and the Purple Line at the Sedgwick stop and an eight minute walk from Red line at Clark. It takes be about 15 min to walk to Michigan Ave and Wells street bars are a minute away. Buses and cabs are also easily accessible. It is about a 3 minute drive to get onto Lake Shore drive at LaSalle and about 8 minutes to Kennedy expressway at North Avenue.
WILDLIFE: You will encounter wildlife while staying at the property. Here is what you can expect most commonly: Spiders and ants are common in Chicago. They get as high as 95th floor of John Hancock building. While we do our best to combat them, it is nearly impossible during high season. Bees, wasps, yellow jackets are abundant throughout the city. While we take care of any nests on the property, I cannot control them in the air and beyond my boundaries.
The house is best for bachelor, bachelorette and friend groups as well as business travelers. It is not child proof.
