Spacious 4-Bedroom Townhome | Steps to UIC & the Illinois Medical District

Welcome to a beautifully rehabbed, fully furnished, move-in ready four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath townhome with a detached garage in one of Chicago's most beloved and walkable neighborhoods. An inviting space spread across three floors, this is a... rare opportunity to live like a true Chicagoan for a full academic year, with all the space, privacy, and character that a private home offers.

The Home

Enter through your own private front yard into a bright, open-concept main living floor with soaring ceilings and an easy, flowing layout. The living room is spacious and welcoming: the kind of room where ideas come together and evenings wind down comfortably. It opens naturally into the kitchen, which is fully equipped and designed for real cooking on the induction stove, and then out onto a private deck overlooking a sun-drenched rear patio and yard that gets superb morning light. It is perfect for peaceful morning coffee, an urban container garden, or simply unwinding after long days at work.

Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and space for however you need to configure your life here: dedicated sleeping quarters, a home office for writing or thinking, and the like. The lower level is a genuine asset: a full family den, an additional bedroom (currently configured as an office/plant room), and a full bath. This makes it ideal as a quiet home office retreat, or a private workspace separate from the rest of the house.

The Neighborhood

You are steps from Taylor Street, the beating heart of Chicago's Little Italy, lined with legendary Italian restaurants, neighborhood cafes, and local institutions that have been here for generations. Tufano's. Al's Italian Beef. Coffee shops where regulars linger over laptops for hours. This is a neighborhood with genuine character and deep roots.

The location is exceptionally practical for anyone affiliated with the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), which is just a 5-minute walk away. The Illinois Medical District, one of the largest in the nation and home to Rush University Medical Center, UI Health, and multiple research institutes, is a 15-minute walk through tranquil neighborhoods, making this an ideal base for medical faculty, clinicians, researchers, or health professionals. The Blue Line CTA stop at Racine puts downtown Chicago's Loop about 10 minutes away by train, and from there the entire city opens up. Two bus routes a one-minute walk away connect you directly downtown. If you bring a car (space for two cars in garage), major highways are a 3-minute drive away.

A Year in Chicago

Nine months here means you will experience Chicago in full. You arrive when the city is at its best, golden with late-summer light and with farmers markets overflowing. Watch autumn transform the neighborhood as the trees along the side streets turn and the city hosts some of its best cultural programming. Winter in Chicago is beautiful in its way: the city does not slow down, and there is something deeply satisfying about coming home to a warm, well-appointed house after walking through the first snow. By spring, the city erupts, the parks fill, the lakefront path buzzes with cyclists and runners, and the sense of collective joy is infectious.

From this home, downtown Chicago is a short train or bus ride away. The Art Institute, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and world-class restaurants across a dozen distinct neighborhoods are all within reach. The city's renowned food scene, from the taquerias of Pilsen just south of here to the fine dining of the West Loop just north of here, is at your doorstep.

This is a home that gives you Chicago fully and authentically: a real neighborhood, a real house, a real community, not a hotel, not an anonymous apartment, but a place to feel genuinely settled, do your best work, and discover one of the world's great cities from the inside out. Read More
