Historic luxury townhouse on Chicago's Gold Coast

Summary:
Welcome to our stunning Townhouse located in the lavish Gold Coast of Chicago—one of the most sought-after locations in the city!

Located on one of Chicago’s famous streets, you’ll be a 5-minute walk from the historic Gold Coast beach and intimate views of Lake Michigan.

The property is also within walking distance of the subway, where you can connect to the L trains, and the Magnificent Mile. It is the perfect place to stay for adventurous travellers and those who fancy a beach in the City!

The Space:
A beautiful home nestled nicely amongst greenery. Upon stepping into this 4-bedroom townhouse, you’ll be struck by the vast size and traditional decor combined with modern chic.

There is a large reception room as you enter; it’s a perfect spot for an afternoon read or seeking peaceful refuge should you not want to watch TV in the sitting room.

You'll also find a fully equipped dining room and kitchen fit for amateur chefs and foodies alike. Going up the stairs takes you into a lounge with comfy sofas and a fireplace—perfect for chilly and windy Chicago winters!

Our Chicago Townhouse is a holiday rental that becomes a home—you won't want to leave!

We have a small garage located at the back of the property that is usable for guests. It can comfortably accommodate a smaller-sized car (VW Golf or similar); however, it is not large enough to fit SUVs, minivans, trucks, or larger estate cars.

Garage measurements (note these are max allowances). are as follows:

Width: 8ft / 243cm
Height: 5.5ft / 167 cm
Depth/length: 13 ft / 396cm

**Note: We are not liable for parking costs if your vehicle doesn't fit, or if you damage your vehicle getting in/out of our car park.

Other Things to Note:

Parties of any size are not allowed.

We may require a deposit for single-night bookings, last-minute reservations, and large booking groups. This can be retained for noise complaints, unauthorised parties, excessive uncleanliness, or damage beyond normal use.

The place was fantastic for our family get together. A real treat if you haven’t stayed in an 1880’s townhome before. Yet it’s updated and feels modern as well. Place was clean when we arrived, no issues. The location is among the action but also in its own quiet corner so you feel you can escape the city. Three floors means a lot of stairs, so if you’re mobility challenged keep that in mind. Our early model Toyota Camry fit the garage, but check the provided dimensions cause it really is tight. We were very thankful this home was available to rent cause it’s something we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. Hope to be back!

A slice of old-world Chicago with all the modern touches.

Can not say enough about how much my family has been raving about our stay at your incredible home. The location put us smack in the middle of everything we wanted to see and we ended up walking to everything (even with ages from 9 months to 70!). On that note, thank y'all for including so many touches to make it easier with the little one. From the high chair, to the pack-n-play with an extra mattress and cover, everything we needed was there. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful old Gold Coast Townhouse within walking distance of everything we needed. Spacious accommodations with a lovely large dining area and comfortable TV lounging area at back of house. Close to plenty of dining options and Lake Michigan. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and bedding. Plenty of towels, coffee and tea. Comfy robes in every bedroom. Overall a wonderful experience.

DO NOT RENT!!!

If safety and customer service are your top priorities then do not rent this house. There was a mix up in the booking schedule and we showed up early to our reservation. That's when we found out that the door codes we were given to access the property were the same keys that they give all the renters. The codes we had were already programmed in and the key locks were open. The current renters were still inside the house when we walked in. When we contacted the owners and asked why we had the same door codes as the current renters they dismissed the situation claiming that they change the codes regularly. They refused to answer us as to why we were given codes several days in advance that matched the same access codes as the current renters. When we stated that we no longer felt safe or comfortable staying in a property with such lax security the owners refused to give a refund and let us cancel. AT NO TIME DID THEY OFFER ANY POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS! They ignored our questions regarding the security concerns and only responded that if we canceled we were not eligible for a refund. We called customer support and they were also concerned about he security and called the owners. Again the owners refused to allow us to cancel and still did nothing to offer a solution to the problem. It wasn't till the customer support manager asked them if they would be willing to immediately change the security codes that the owners finally agreed to anything. DO NOT TRUST THIS PROPER

Fantastic home away from home, nice neighborhood and close proximity to all!

It was great to stay in a beautiful grey stone in Gold Coast. Better yet it is located in an excellent area, less than 1/4 mile walking distance to the lake, around the corner from Michigan Avenue shopping, the Hancock Building, the Drake, Lou Malnati's and other great restaurants, and pharmacy-- we walked to all of these places! It felt like a home away from home with the layout of the home and nice neighborhood. It was stocked up with everything one needs in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and family spaces. The interior was clean, welcoming and nicely decorated. My family was in town for my daughter's wedding and it was the perfect house for pre- and post-wedding activities. From when I reserved the house almost a year ago, to checking in, to checking out, were seamless. Julian was very responsive and clearly communicated all relevant information for the stay. It was noted the internet was not working upon check in, I notified Julian and in less than a couple hours, we had internet. The entire stay of 5 days were wonderful for me and my family. The experience setting it up to sadly checking out were pretty straightforward and easy. A big thank you to Julian and Jackie for the positive experience and the hospitality!

Wonderful location!

We stayed at this townhome because our daughter was running in the Chicago marathon. The location could NOT have been any better. It is a very short walk to the Magnificent Mile and close to the race start/finish, and there are grocery and restaurant options nearby. We were looking for a four bedroom place and I couldn't find anything else that fit the bill, so we are very glad to have had this. The home is old, so has some issues that one might expect. However, on top of those, the floors were not very clean, the fan above the stovetop didn't work, and there were even some tips of nails (the sharp part!) sticking out of the hall floor on the third floor. The radiators are extremely noisy when heating up. One should know that it is 39 steps from the main level to the master (which was not a problem for us). The property managers were very responsive to inquiries before, during and after our stay. Having noted all that, we were happy with our stay overall.

Excellent neighborhood and property

Gorgeous, large townhouse. We loved the location and the townhouse itself. The lock box was a little confusing because there are 2. In the age of door codes, I wasn’t expecting this. Another word of note: the staircase is old and the wood is worn on some places. If you have small children or someone who is unstable on their feet you might want to consider this.
