About this property

Rivendell is a historic duplex home.

The building is located in a safe, friendly beachfront community. Within just a couple blocks walking distance you will find a commuter rail to Chicago or Milwaukee, quaint boutiques, inspirational restaurants, a new playground and tennis court, local history museum. cafes, brewery, bike paths, interesting home architecture and people and dog beaches.

This home offers a quiet, relaxing home away from home to unwind after a day at work, visiting family or exploring the area.

Since this home was built as a two flat, safety consideration was incorporated in original design. There are two interior staircases that lead to the outside, as well as a mounted fire extinguisher in stairway, and one on each floor. This is in addition to carbon monoxide/fire detectors in each bedroom and living room areas. Additionally, the police and fire stations are within 3 blocks.

The name of our historic home, Rivendell, comes from JR Tolkien. Tolkien described Rivendell as a place where: -the virtue of the land was that soon all fear and anxiety was lifted from minds. The future, good or ill, was not forgotten, but ceased to have any power over the present. Health and hope grew strong and all were content with each good day as it came, taking pleasure in every meal and in every word and song -

Cozy and charming
Clean, comfy and light filled apartment. I was there for six weeks and enjoyed myself thoroughly. Great pressure in the shower and most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in at a VRBO.
