4140 Harvey offers the Field Park location, excellent updating and move-in condition for $524,900

For years, the residents of Western Springs knew the sheer excellence of the education quality at Field Park Elementary school. As a result of a recent rash of media pieces, including Business Week magazine identifying Western Springs as one best places to live in the USA, the rest of the world has found out about this gem of a community as well.

Field Park is a highly sought after "walk to" neighborhood where residents are just steps form downtown Western Springs, Starbucks and the Metra train depot. It’s even walk to Field Park school and McClure Junior High School.

The housing is a complementary blend of high charm traditional vintage construction intermixed with traditionally designed, new, custom homes which are built to look old. All reside on picturesque leafy streets.

4140 Harvey in Western Springs is a unique offering. Priced at $524,900, it is easily the most affordably priced home in Field Park which is in completely "move-in" condition. All of the important updating is done-right down to the granite and steel kitchen. The decor is fresh.

While it is an excellent home right now, the cool characteristic of this  colonial is that it is on a 60 foot wide lot (read: good) and the house’s floor plan is such that it can easily be expanded. And the creative owners (one of whom is an architect) have two separate sets of plans for expansion. Just ask me…I’ll tell you about them.

Bottom Line: This is a house you’d never have to leave!
