231 S. Bruner Hinsdale IL 60521

When looking at a map of 231 South Bruner in Hinsdale IL 60521, a picture really does say one thousand words. In this case, it is particularly true if you aspire to live in Hinsdale in a true “walk to” location. Let me break it down for you:

  • Three parks within three blocks
  • The Hinsdale swimming pool is within four city blocks
  • The West Hinsdale Metra Train depot is within two blocks (talk about a way to be the envy of the office)
  • The blue ribbon award-winning Madison Elementary School is within four blocks
  • Downtown Hinsdale is a ten minute walk (unless you are a particularly slow walker)

In plain terms, if you are a train commuter and want a “walk to” lifestyle. 231 S. Bruner in Hinsdale is a rock star!

Moreover, if you are seeking a screaming value in today’s market, here is one served up to you on a silver platter. This deal is absolutely unbeatable in this price range. The current owners paid $1,058,000 for this home as new construction in December of 2004. Since then, they have made significant tasteful improvements including landscaping, hardscaping, window treatments to include plantation shutters, designer carpet runners, flat panel tv, etc.  You can easily see that these improvements have run into the thousands. At the current pricing level, this deal is a slam dunk.

The house is in perfect condition. This is not one of those houses that was cleaned up in the eleventh hour for marketing purposes.The owners have painstakingly maintained this house so that it is in near new condition. Come see for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed. Do not wait too long as this is one of those houses that you thought would remain available, but will not.

Buyer Needs House In Hinsdale IL 60521

August 7th, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate No Comments »

If you own a house in Hinsdale that is located in-town (South of Ogden Avenue and North of 55th Street); has at least 3,300 square feet (exclusive of basement); a three car garage or potential for the on site parking of three cars; is less than ten years old; and you want to sell it for less than $2,000,000, please call me.

I have reviewed all of the 300+ detached homes that are now on the market in Hinsdale. There is currently not a direct match between what is on the re-sale market and the buyers’ needs.

The desired closing date is flexible.

The buyer does not need to sell their currrent home before buying, nor is their financing contingent on them selling and/or closing on their current home.

If you think that you may have a  match, call Bryan Bomba at 630-789-8280. Thanks.

Newer Hinsdale Home With An Impossible-To-Find Three Car Garage For Under $1,500,000

July 12th, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate No Comments »

203 The Lane Hinsdale IL 60521 In general, homes with three car garages are rare commodities in Hinsdale Illinois. Ones with attached three car garages that are priced under $1,500,000 are even more uncommon.

203 The Lane in Hinsdale IL is a newer home with all the new home amenities-it is less than 10 years old. More importantly, it has been so gently lived in that it truly shows like a new home. It is one of those homes where you wonder if anyone really lives there because of how perfect it appears.

The location is nearly as special as the condition. It is situated on a low traffic street (a rarity in some parts of Hinsdale) in a highly appealing in-town location. If you have school-aged children, you will love that this home is just a block from The Lane Elementary School.

July 5th, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate 1 Comment »

538 N. Grant Hinsdale Illinois 60521

If you are like most home buyers today, you probably did not realize the desired price on the house that you have just sold. More realistically, you may have even lost money on the transaction. As such, it has become imperative that the transaction on your replacement home is one in which you have an economic win. If this scenario describes you, then I may have just found your next new home.

538 N. Grant in Hinsdale is undoubtedly the best value anywhere near it’s price range. The sellers had paid $1,750,000 for this home as new construction in 2006. Since then, they have improved the house to an extent reported to be more than $150,000. All in, the sellers have over $1,900,000 in this home. The asking price is $1,575,000!
538 North Grant Street in Hinsdale Illinois is an absolute knockout from a physical point of view. It’s physical condition is perfect. It has been lived in gently and exceedingly well-maintained.

Just Steps To Downtown Hinsdale For $899,900

June 15th, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate No Comments »

18 S. Elm Hinsdale Illinois

This location is pure gold.

The locals know it as simply “southeast”. The rest of the world refers to it as southeast Hinsdale. While Hinsdale is an affluent western suburb of Chicago, this neighborhood is in an elite class within Hinsdale. Frankly, most homes are valued well in excess of $2,000,000.

The power of this location has many facets.

First, it offers a quick and easy walk to downtown Hinsdale. This means ease of access to the Metra train depot, shops, restaurants, etc.

Second, it is a quick and easy walk to Hinsdale Middle School.

Third, it is just flat out beautiful.

The home is an extremely appealing Dutch Colonial with four bedrooms (all on the second floor) 2 1/2 bathrooms, a first floor family room and a large eat-in kitchen. It is much larger than it appears as it has been expanded by way of a two story addition.

221 N. Grant in Hinsdale Offers A Flawless In-town Location

May 17th, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate Comments Off

221 N. Grant Hinsdale IL 60521

When people talk about living in Hinsdale IL, you hear the phrases “walk to” and “in-town” incessantly. Unlike many towns in the western suburbs of Chicago, Hinsdale offers the ease of walking to all of those daily stops to which you are forced to drive in most suburbs. I am not just talking about walking to the local grade school. It is much more than that.

In in-town Hinsdale, you can walk to all schools (from kindergarten through High School) as well as the Metra commuter train (about 25 minutes into downtown Chicago), Starbuck’s and the balance of the stores and restaurants which make up downtown Hinsdale.

And Hinsdale residents, Hinsdaleans as they are sometimes called, are very proud of this “walk to” convenience.

Given this “walk to” characteristic, very few locations in Hinsdale achieve rock star status by offering a unique and flawless set of characteristics beyond just “walk to”. And 221 North Grant in Hinsdale Illinois is one of those locational rocks stars. Here is why…

In Hinsdale, the overwhelmingly majority of homes are within earshot of the train tracks or a roadway. To a moderate degree, they are audible. Not so,  from 221 N. Grant. It is so centrally located, it is comparatively quiet.

Take a look at the map of 221 N. Grant in Hinsdale IL. The home is idyllically located just a few blocks north of downtown Hinsdale and the Metra train station. That is huge as the main Hinsdale train station has a much better schedule than the other two of it’s Hinsdale counterparts.

Take a look at the virtual tour of 221 N. Grant in Hinsdale IL. If you like what you see, contact Bryan Bomba, the exclusive marketing agent for a private showing.

Buildable Lots Needed In Hinsdale Illinois

May 15th, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate Comments Off

Here’s a sign that the real estate market is changing back to a state or normalcy…In the last week, I have had two builders contact me and ask that I find buildable lots for them.   That’s right, builders are looking to buy lots and not sell them.

My builder clients are looking for lots only with the following characterisitcs:

  • in-town Hinsdale IL only
  • no disadvantaged locations: no tollway views please
  • prefer 50 foot wide lots

If you have a property like this and have an interest in selling it, contact Bryan@BryanBomba.com

The Best Block In The Madison School Area of Hinsdale

April 3rd, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate, Uncategorized Comments Off

734 Bodin Hinsdale IL 60521

It has long been argued that the 700 block of Bodin in Hinsdale IL is the most sought after block in all of the Madison Grade School area. Here are the top few reasons why those who assert this position about this block believe it to be so:

  • Dietz Park is actually located ON this block. This is a small, very local park that appeals primarily to little kids.
  • Unlike many of the north/south streets in 60521, Bodin is low traffic. That is particularly appealing if you like your kids.
  • Unlike many parts of Hinsdale IL, there are some wide lots on this block. As such, the street scape is more appealing.
  • Gorgeous trees.
  • Easy and quick walk to Madison Elementary School, Hinsdale Central High School (no need to buy a car for your teenager) and the West Hinsdale train depot
  • The houses on this block are a healthy blend of older and newer, but all are of an appealing architectural design

For a moment, I felt like David Letterman doing a Top Ten list.

The interior of 734 Bodin in Hinsdale is nothing short of spectacular. The current owners (who are moving within the neighborhood, by the way) have made many significant important improvements for your enjoyment. Specifically, the roof was re-done in March 2010. The kitchen and all bathrooms were gut-renovated – they are simply awesome. The materials and workmanship is similar to that you would find in a $1,500,000+ home.

And the yard….no skinny lot size here. This is a serious, family-sized lot that is 71 feet wide. Around here, that is a big deal as it is over 40% wider than a typical lot. And if you have kids, this is like hitting the lottery to find an updated house on a wide lot on a quiet street within walking distance to all that is important.

If Hinsdale Homes Had “Walk Scores”, 439 S. Clay would be a “10″.

April 2nd, 2010 bryanbomba Posted in Hnsdale Real Estate Comments Off

One look at the Google map of Hinsdale tells this story.

While those fortunate enough to live in-town Hinsdale love to talk about the walk to benefits of their location, they are really fantasizing about the easy walk to benefits of this location.

Imagine measuring the distance to your child’s school (either Madison Elementary School, a recent blue ribbon award winner, or the always impressive St. Isaac Jogues in feet, not blocks! And the distance to Hinsdale Middle School, downtown Hinsdale and the Hinsdale Metra train depot is similarly convenient.

While I can write all day about the sheer convenience that ONLY this location can offer, you need to walk it yourself to truly internalize what the daily benefits can actually be.

And now for the best part…the inside.

This home measures over 4,250 square feet, which does not include the unbelievably well-finished lower level and the heated, attached three car garage. The interior has been thoughtfully and comprehensively overhauled by the current owners. It looks and lives perfectly.
