Soak up the view during your stay.
This is a private three bedroom house you will be reserving in the Avondale neighborhood with plenty of available free street parking. The residence sits on the intersection of Elston, Rockwell and Wellington. We are in the middle of it all. You can shoot into downtown quickly or be in Wrigleyville within minutes to watch the Cubs. You’ll love this place because of the neighborhood and privacy. 15 minute drive to downtown.

The space
The space is three large carpeted bedrooms, sunny dining room, chill living room, and one bathroom. Only a few stairs up from the sidewalk and you are in the house that was built in 1902. The look and feel of the house is true Chicago vintage. You have all the privacy you need. Decent size deck in the back with a gated backyard. Hardwood floors in the living and dining room add to the retro feel. Each bedroom has a large closet, full or queen size bed, night stand and dresser. Create breakfast for your group in the large kitchen that has lots of cabinets and storage space. Plenty of closets throughout if you are a traveling band or in Chicago for work and need a temporary place for your equipment. There is a washer and dryer in the house that you may use. Radiator heat keeps the place toasty in the cold months. Window AC units keep the whole place cool in the summertime. No large parties please.

Guest access
You have access to the deck, yard, and laundry room.

Other things to note
Although we are on a busy street, the neighborhood itself is quiet and somewhat industrial. However, the location is near most all places you want to be at in Chicago.

Things to consider before making a reservation:
Please take note that the house is next to a Steak House. They do have parties at times and will play music at night. From my experience I do not think it is excessive, however if you have children with you this may pose a problem on certain nights.

Just a heads up, I have alcohol related advertisements in the form of signage and posters in the kitchen and in one bedroom.

The other thing to think about is getting around town from this location. The bus and train are not right outside the door. You will have to do a little research on catching the train and bus (or ask me). We are not terribly far from public transportation, however if your not from Chicago you may find dealing with the train and bus system can be tedious. The neighborhood is very pleasant to walk through.

Please ask me if early arrival or late departing is available. I do allow flexibility with the schedule if time permits. However please remind me the day before that you will be coming early or leaving late if we agreed to it. It is hard to keep up with many schedule demands on my end, but I keep up with all Airbnb messages.

Neighborhood highlights

Avondale’s industrial roots give it an urban, down-to-earth feel, while an influx of young residents and cool restaurants are breathing fresh life into the neighborhood. In Avondale, you’ll find an explosion of both cool and classic bars and eateries — pilgrimage-worthy beer bars, taprooms serving up award-winning beers, old-school karaoke bars, hole-in-the-wall hangouts where locals love to kick back, and more. Pop-ups and temporary venue spaces add to the area’s spontaneous vibe. Some of these highlights include Kuma's Corner, Metropolitan Brewing, Ravinia Brewing Company, Barra N, Avondale Bowl, and Alice's Lounge. The house sits near Logan Square, Bucktown, and Roscoe Village. If you walk 3 blocks south you will reach a mile stretch of big box stores and restaurants including Target, Chipotle, Pot Belly, Xport Fitness, CVS, Burlington, Home Depot, Golden Nugget and more! Play cosmic bowling at the Diversey Bowl or watch a movie at the Regal Cinemas both just a few blocks south. You can also catch a boat to downtown at "Rockwell on the River", one block North at 3057 N. Rockwell. If your looking for a neighborhood dive bar, please check out our friends at Frank & Mary's at the south end of the block on Elston. Grocers close to the house include Jewel and Mariano's.
