Stunning Modern & Spacious Sleeps 16 in Forest Park
This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home near downtown Forest Park offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and convenience. Located just steps from the lively dining, shopping, and nightlife of Madison Avenue, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds—easy access to the excitement of the area and the tranquility of a beautifully appointed home.
With a short 10-minute walk to downtown Chicago’s train stations, exploring the city has never been easier. The iconic Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District, known for its stunning architectural heritage, is only a 6-minute stroll away, making this home an ideal base for urban adventures. You also have access to city of Oak Park’s vibrant downtown by Lake Street and Harlem Avenue within easy reach.
The open-concept layout, coupled with a newly renovated kitchen, creates a cozy yet stylish atmosphere perfect for gatherings, comfortably accommodating up to 16 guests. Designed for both comfort and functionality, this home is an exceptional choice for family vacations or group getaways.
Accommodation: This two-story home features five spacious bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged for a restful stay. The primary suite on the second floor offers a luxurious retreat, complete with a king-size bed, a TV, and a pack-and-play for your little one. Adjacent to the primary suite is a second bedroom with three beds, comfortably sleeping up to four guests. On this level, you’ll also find a beautifully tiled bathroom with a bathtub/shower combination.
On the first floor, there’s a bedroom specifically designed for guests who prefer to avoid stairs. This room features a trundle/bunk bed setup with a full-size bed and two twin beds, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for all.
Interior Arrangements: The living areas of the home exude elegance, with hardwood floors and stylish décor throughout. The living room is designed for relaxation, featuring three comfortable couches (two of which converts into a futon for additional sleeping space) and a 50-inch TV, making it ideal for movie nights or cozy gatherings. The dining area boasts a well-appointed 10-person table, perfect for family meals, elegant dinners, and memorable evenings together.
Outdoor: Due to the cold weather in Forest Park, we are unable to make significant upgrades to the outdoor space until spring, as we finalized the purchase of the house at the end of November. However, guests can still enjoy the outdoors from the back porch deck, offering a peaceful spot to soak in the sights and sounds of Forest Park. The fenced-in backyard is an attractive feature, providing a safe and relaxing area for both play and leisure. We’ve also added a lower level of deck with plans to install a gazebo when the weather permits, enhancing the outdoor experience in the warmer months.
Local Attractions Near the Property: Beyond dining, guests can explore the vibrant area with shopping, antique merchants, and charming boutiques along Madison Street. Just a short distance away, the renowned Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District invites architecture enthusiasts to step back in time and appreciate some of America’s most iconic designs. Various tours and showcases further enhance the visit, offering a deeper connection to this architectural legacy.
Professional Cleaning: We ensure a welcoming environment by thoroughly cleaning the home between each guest’s stay. Our home is equipped with amenities such as garage parking for two cars, an additional concrete pad for one more vehicle, a washer and dryer, and complimentary Wi-Fi, all designed to make your stay stress-free and comfortable. Plan your next day of exploration in this inviting Forest Park home, where the perfect balance of style, comfort, and convenience awaits.
Guest Access:

Spacious and inviting
We just finished our stay and I must say this is a great house. It was exactly as described. The house was very spacious, clean and welcoming. It provided the perfect retreat for our stay in Chicago. We were a family of 10 and the house was roomy enough for us all. Vince was a very responsive host and check in was seamless. The house was very clean and had all of the accommodations one would need, We would highly recommend this house and host. 10/10.
