About this property

Stunning Lincoln Park Single-Family House with Fantastic Game Room

Looking for a place for your group to gather together? This single-family home is perfect and private! Whip up meals in the chef’s kitchen, featuring a Subzero refrigerator and Wolf stove. Island seating allows everyone to socialize while prepping meals and drinks. You might not ever leave with a game room featuring pool, ping pong, foosball, two classic arcade machines and an Xbox - but if you do the location is A+ as Lincoln Park is one of the safest places in Chicago with easy walking to two L stops and tons of shops and restaurants.

A chef's dream, the kitchen features a Subzero refrigerator, Wolf gas stove with convection oven, Bosch dishwasher and a separate wine fridge. The granite countertops and cherry cabinets give the kitchen -- the centerpiece of the house -- a warm feel. The center island with its counter-seating allows everyone to socialize while meals and drinks are prepped. The dining room has seating for up to 12 people and features an upright piano for the musicians in your group.

Every detail was considered when designing the space and you will have plenty of room to spread out. The basement rec room features a foosball table, a 7 foot pool table that converts to a ping pong table, two classic arcade machines that feature 26 classic games, as well as a library. Looking for toys to keep little ones occupied? We have them for you! We also have a full complement of board games for your enjoyment.

There are four bedrooms on the second floor (two are connected by a closable door so you have to walk through one to get to the other) and two in the basement. The upstairs bathroom features a double-sink and vanity, making it easy for multiple people to use the space at once. There is also a queen-sized pullout couch in the basement.

Our home is on three levels, with stairs up and down from the main level. The house has hardwood flooring throughout each of the three levels and the bottom floor features full-size windows and is not below grade. We have one king-size bed, four queen-sized beds, one double bed, and a queen-sized pullout couch in the basement rec room. It also has a small outdoor area with seating.

If the interior doesn't have you hooked yet, the location will! Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's most vibrant neighborhoods, home to award-winning restaurants, fun nightlife, world-renowned theater, and plenty of retail therapy opportunities. And our home is in the perfect location to access it all! The Salt Shed concert venue, Lincoln Park Zoo, Second City Comedy Club, and North Avenue Beach are an easy walk. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are steps away. Red and Brown Line L trains are nearby for quick access to Wrigley Field or Downtown. Shopping from Apple Store and Nordstrom to award winning restaurants Alinea and Boka are down the street.

Public transportation is plentiful as the Red, Brown and Purple Line trains are a quick two block walk and the house is a half-mile from the Clybourn Metra Stop. We also have a Divvy bike share station directly across the street -- daily rates are available and it's a great way to see the city like a local.

Two blocks from either the Brown or Red line stops, you can easily be at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game or Guaranteed Rate Park to take in a White Sox game in no time. Looking for a home base during a convention? McCormick Place is a 15-minute car ride away or easily accessible via the Red Line (exit at Cermak/McCormick Place). Our unique home is walking distance to everything -- from popular restaurants and bars to upscale boutiques and stores as well as public transportation and DePaul University.

Here is a sampling of what is at your fingertips:

CONCERT VENUES: We are a five minute walk to The Salt Shed and a fifteen minute walk to the Park West and Lincoln Hall. The Metro, Vic, Aragon, and Riviera are all easily accessible via the Red Line or a short Uber ride.

SPORTS (and sometimes concerts): Our Red Line stop is just 3 stops from Wrigley Field going north or 7 stops to Soldier Field going south and Guaranteed Rate Field is 2 additional stops beyond the Soldier Field stop. The United Center does require switching from the Red Line to the Green or Blue line. All the above are easily accessible taking a 10-15 minute Uber ride.

SHOPPING: If national chains aren't your thing there are tons of small boutique shops all along Armitage Avenue. But if you do like the chains - we have you covered too! Steps from Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Mariano's, Apple Store, Saks Off 5th, Crate and Barrel, Ulta, World Market, Sephora, Anthropologie, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Nordstrom Rack, Moosejaw, West Elm, Dick's Sporting Goods

RESTAURANTS: Steps from world-famous and 3 Michelin Star Alinea as well as one star Boka, Esme and Galit, as well as Armitage Ale House, Old Pueblo Mexican, Summer House Santa Montica, Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba, Blue Door Farm Stand, Ramen-San, Epic Burger, Sai Café, Home Slice, Tarentino, Butcher and the Burger, Sweet Green, Protein Bar, Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, Protein Bar, Earl's Kitchen, and many more!

THEATERS: Steps from Improv Olympic and Steppenwolf Theater; short walk to Second City, Zanies

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Steps from North Ave Red Line and Armitage Brown Line, across the street from Divvy station

Lincoln Park in Chicago is an active, energetic neighborhood full of young professionals. It is a prestigious, upscale area with huge multi-million dollar single-family homes, two flats, and three flats. The side streets are tree-lined, quiet, and quaint. But the surrounding nightlife is lively and there are many great neighborhood restaurants and bars. You have a short five-minute commute to downtown Chicago by L train. You can't beat this neighborhood for luxurious, safe living combined with excitement and fun.

Your family and friends will feel right at home from the moment you arrive; no detail has been overlooked.

Great house and great host!

We took a guys trip to the Windy City to watch the opening rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament. It was the first time for all of us staying in the Lincoln Park area and we all truly enjoyed everything. Great restaurants, pubs, and sports bars all easily accessible. Josh was a fantastic host and quick to respond. If we visit the area again, would definitely look to stay here.

Spacious home/Great location

This home is a Lincoln Park dream! Great location on scenic Sheffield Avenue within walking distance to many amenities. The house was spacious and clean, and the high end kitchen makes cooking large meals a breeze. The game room was a favorite with the kids and the Adirondack chairs on the front patio made a lovely location for morning coffee.

Perfect home for family gathering - access to everything!

We have stayed in a number of VRBO locations over the years and what I liked the most about this location is the bedrooms and beds. With three generations of adults gathering, the queen beds were perfect for couples or singles. Everyone commented on how well they slept! I highly recommend this location for a girls' weekend or a multi-generational family! We were literally 10 minutes away from everything we needed as far as stores, restaurants, and parks and easy access to get around town for when we did go to other areas. We walked to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to equip ourselves to cook for 12 in the kitchen. The front patio was a treat in the morning for our coffee drinkers and the basement game room was the perfect entertainment after dark. (Some great retro games which brought back memories for those of us over 40!) The stairs are a little steep, but our 80 year olds were able to traverse them with handrails. There were some nice touches that made a big difference: a welcome card from the owners and a hello in person when we saw them in the neighborhood, umbrellas in the back hall (it was a Chicago spring!) and a huge fridge that accommodated all of our diverse food / drink needs. Overall it was a fantastic property and well kept.

Beautiful Home, Great Experience

We came in with a group of 10 for a long weekend. This place was perfect. Great location on N. Sheffield, the place itself was beautiful, very clean and true to the photos. When I did have a question the owner was very responsive, got back to me immediately. Highly recommend.

Friend trip to Chicago

We were a group of 8 40+ yr old females. We all found the house very very clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time downtown so didn’t get a chance to explore the neighborhood too much, though we felt very safe at all times. I would recommend this property to all.

The location and space are exceptional!

This house is wonderfully located next to parks, transportation, and restaurants. Plus, it has plenty of room to sprawl. The pool table is a little tight in it's area, but we made it work. With foosball and an oversized connect4, we had plenty to do when we were at the house. The kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed to cook meals for 7 people. The owners were quick to respond to questions, which always makes it easier. They also left us chocolates and a bottle of wine! ❤️ The only tiny "con" was how squeaky the floors are in the upstairs hallway. It makes it hard to quietly sneak by rooms where others are sleeping if you're going to bed late or need to use the restroom. That was a very minor inconvenience for us, but it might be pertinent to those with infants or young children. We would definitely stay in this house again!

Amazing stay!!

We rented this home for a family reunion weekend. We loved the images of the property but it was MUCH nicer in person! The rooms were bigger than we expected and the neighborhood was incredible! None of us could believe how comfortable the beds were and again, the house was just so nice! The only thing better than the house itself was the owner! His level of responsiveness was above and beyond anything we expected for a rental. Everything about this property exceeded our expectations in every way. I'm already trying to come up with a reason to go back -- and soon!

Really nice spot for good size group of friends

Josh was great and very communicative- we are a group of friends who gather every year - this was definitely one of the nicest places we’ve stayed - foosball and pool table made for distractions and the open spaces - particularly the kitchen made hanging out and talking easy. Kitchen is open, well appointed for cooking as well. We had a great time and definitely recommend (beds were nice memory foam and pillows were nice as well (an often overlooked portion of vacation rentals)
