The Rectory is a unique, spotlessly clean property with wonderful character, and it couldn't be more conveniently located unless there were an L stop outside the front door! Lincoln Park is a lovely, safe neighborhood. We were always able to park without a permit within a block or two...and usually right out front. (This was important for us, as we were traveling with my 96-year-old father-in-law.) There is a nice grocery store only a block away and, even though we were too busy to explore further, there are restaurants and shops within walking distance. David made access to his property convenient and is right next door, in case you need anything. Note that there is no sidewall or railing for the first six steps to the loft, if that is a concern for you. Loved the updated kitchen and outdoor space in the front, especially since Chicago delivered beautiful weather for our son's wedding week!
