Renovated Chicago apartment in charming Lincoln Square, steps from the Brown Line

Our private garden apartment is in our owner-occupied, three-unit vintage Chicago building on a quiet, tree-lined street, just steps from the heart of Lincoln Square. Recently renovated, the apartment is bright, comfortable and fully furnished, with an open layout and modern finishes. It features a king-size DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid mattress, an additional twin bed and sleeper sofa, a 65" Smart TV, high-speed internet, streaming services, and shared laundry.

We’re just one block from the Western Brown Line station, making it easy to explore downtown and neighborhoods throughout Chicago without a car. Restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, music venues, a movie theater, walking and biking trails, and the Chicago River are all nearby. It’s a comfortable home base for enjoying both the excitement of Chicago and the relaxed feel of a true neighborhood.
