Flawless Newer Home On “Walk To” Block In-Town Hinsdale

The map of 710 S. Monroe in Hinsdale IL tells the whole story. It’s a beautiful, tree-lined street that is uniquely low in traffic. Translation: It’s great for kids. Additionally, 710 Monroe is just three blocks from Madison Grade School, four blocks from St. Isaac’s church and school, five blocks to the  Metra train depot and five blocks to Hinsdale Central High School. By all local standards, it is true "walk to".

This house is so incredibly well-maintained, it makes sense to compare it heads up against new construction. There are new homes in this same neighborhood on similar-sized lots that are priced over $2,000,000. I cannot imagine wanting to burn over $250,000 on a new house when 710 S. Monroe is available at $1,749,000.

The finishes in the house are flat out over-the-top. I’m taking about big dollar improvements, design components and finishes that are simply not available elsewhere:

  • $90,000 home theater system (and it’s as easy to use as an iPod)
  • Heated floors in master bathroom, basement and garage
  • Two full-sized Sub Zeros in the kitchen
  • Two first floor powder rooms (one in the mud room!)
  • Cabinets. They’re beaded inset design with paint and glaze. The bathrooms have built-in pull-out stools for the kids.
  • Huge 2nd floor laundry room with folding area
  • A w-i-d-e lot with a real back yard
  • The world’s most impressive playhouse (see photo)
