A piano is in the home as well as wifi, cabl tv, dvd players, cards, games, DVDs and books. Fishing and boat enthusiasts can take a short 3-block stroll to behold the breathtaking views of the Rock River dam and waterfront.

Grandmas is within three blocks of a grocery store, drug store, city park, the YMCA, many restaurants, a liquor store and a short walk to Dixons bike and hiking path which leads to beautiful Lowell Park....
