About This Home
As of November 2022Escape to your own private FULLY FURNISHED wooded retreat just minutes away from everything! This charming and fully furnished cabin offers flexible lease terms with a 60-day minimum. Nestled in a lovely and safe suburb just 30 miles outside of downtown Chicago, the home is surrounded by thousands of acres of forest preserves—perfect for hikers and bikers. Despite its secluded feel, it is only a short drive to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
This renovated cabin is filled with special features, including brick floors, detailed trim, and vaulted ceilings with rustic beams. A brick fireplace and picture windows provide stunning views of the forested lot. The new kitchen is fully stocked with stainless steel appliances and walnut butcher block countertops, perfect for all your cooking and dining needs. The adjacent dining room, with seating for six, is bathed in sunlight through a wall of windows that overlook the ravine.
The main floor features a newly updated bathroom with shower tile, a vintage dresser vanity with a new copper sink, and a waterfall faucet. Convenient in-unit stackable LG washer and dryer with linen cabinet storage are also included. The two ample-sized bedrooms are well-appointed, with the first featuring a king bed, desk, dresser, and two closets, and the second offering a full bed, dresser, and two closets. Both bedrooms come with blackout curtains to ensure a restful sleep. A full bathroom upstairs includes new tile, brushed brass fixtures, a walnut vanity, a new light fixture, and charming rustic wallpaper.
One of the highlights of this home is the incredible screened-in outdoor living room with vaulted ceilings and rustic beams. It provides the perfect space to relax in solitude, listen to the birds chirp, and enjoy the surrounding nature. This home truly feels like a vacation!
The lease is available immediately, with a 60-day minimum and a preference for longer stays. A minimum credit score of 720 is required. Included in rent are all utilities, including gas/heat, electric, water, Wi-Fi, snow removal, and lawn care. A smart TV is provided, allowing tenants to log in with their favorite streaming services. Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis with some restrictions and a $300 non-refundable pet cleaning fee. Owner is an Illinois Licensed Realtor.
