550 Wesley's very special feature: a private 600 sq. ft. guest suite with its own entrance! This suite has gorgeous views of the "hidden park" to the west, a large open room with hardwood floors (shown above), a large closet, a huge bathroom w/whirlpool tub, stand-up separate shower, double vanity & its own furnace. Both the garage & the guest suite can be accessed without entering the main living area of the home!

History of the Construction of these homes: These two fine homes are built on previously vacant land owned by Mrs. Mildred Avery, a 99 year old lady, who lives at 540 Wesley in her childhood home (small white farmhouse). The market time reflects my having listed the homes as soon as ground was broken.

 



Developer's Closeout! Below Market Value...see below.

These homes provide single family floorplans & amenities in new construction without the single family pricetag! They are designed to house large furniture, artwork collections, to provide privacy & quiet.

Two very spacious homes with wide horizontal floor plans in the European double-house style are now completed on Main Street in Evanston. Interiors are much larger than they seem from the front view. 1502 Main (note that the oval window & the window above it belongs to 1502) is an entertainer's dream home available at $750,000; 1504 Main closed for $781,106 on October 30th, 2007. 
   

These units are fee-simple properties with no monthly assessment; the developer's restrictive covenants will provide governance. Both feature spacious open floor plans on three wide living levels, hardwood floors throughout, two-stories plus a full finished basement with full bath, 3 large bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor, including the addition of a bidet in the master baths. The exteriors have cedar fronts and rears, and vinyl siding on the sides & garages. Both have two-car garages & fenced-in yards. A gardener's paradise.


1510 Main Street, Evanston  $825,700

(note that the existing yellow house on the site will be demolished) 

Two brand new half-duplexes will be built on this site. You have a choice of one of two plans: the drawing above represents the design of approximately 3,600 sq. ft. Both will have 4 bedrooms on the second floor.



The drawing below represents The Cottages des Belles Pierres (French for beautiful stone cottages) offers a significantly different design, size and price. The east unit will be approximately 2,326 sq. ft. priced at $684,700 and the west unit will be approximately 2,117 sq. ft, priced at $634,500. One has a very special first floor master bedroom suite that opens onto lush bluestone-paved patio, and two other bedrooms up. Another has one bedroom down & master + one up. Even the garages will be very special! Of stone, they will have a full 400 sq ft 2nd story ideal for an artist's studio. 

 

Both designs will feature large bluestone paved patios secluded from the world, as well as the fine finishes expected in Oakton-Custer's developments! Plans are available for your review.

Estimated completion: 6-9 months after contract date, or at the developer's discretion.
