Our home is a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home 35 mins from downtown Chicago (unless rush hour). The master bedroom has a king bed. Currently, there is a bedroom with a crib, another bedroom with a lofted twin bed, an office, and a playroom. We have a double bed that can be put up, two spare pack n plays, a large comfy air bed, and a futon. We are happy to arrange the rooms to fit your needs.
Our living area is spacious. We have a kitchen, living room, and dining room on the first floor and the lower level has a family room, playroom, game room with full bar, full bathroom, and a second kitchen (4 burners, sink, fridge, microwave, counters and cabinets). It's a great set up for bigger groups or two families that would enjoy some separate space. We have a lovely breeze way connecting the house and garage that is great for morning coffee or post dinner wine. Our back yard is large with a patio and a gate that opens to an 11 acre park with playground, basketball court, baseball field, and a free ice skating rink in the Winter! In the basement we hand built a two level Montessori play house and have toys galore (indoor and outdoor) for children ages 0-7. We have anything you could possibly need for small kids- stroller, wagon, high chair, changing table, monitors, gates, etc.
Guest Access
2 floors, attached garage, guests must be able to do stairs
Notes
We do have one big dog. He can be cared for elsewhere and we always get a professional clean before guests, but likely best for people without allergies.
