MORTON GROVE, IL - Lexington Homes announces it has reached the 70-percent-sold mark at one of its latest projects, Lexington Walk, a community of 36 rowhomes in the northwest Chicago suburb of Morton Grove, Ill. In addition, the builder has opened a new, unfurnished model that allows buyers to experience optional selections and structural upgrades available at the community.
Located at 8622 Ferris Ave., Lexington Walk is one of a handful of new-home communities Lexington Homes launched within the last year in the Chicago area.
“These sales numbers reflect the strong buyer demand for new rowhomes at attainable prices in the Morton Grove market,” said Jeff Benach, a principal of Lexington Homes. “Thanks to buyers that appreciate this area’s retail and restaurant offerings and proximity to transit, we had great success several years ago in Morton Grove with our Lexington Station community, which is just a few blocks away from Lexington Walk. We’re experiencing a similar positive response now, and we’re confident we will continue this strong sales pace and achieve a quick sellout, especially with the debut of our new model.”
As its name implies, Lexington Walk is just steps from dining and shopping venues in Morton Grove, as well as recreational opportunities. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Chicago, with the Metra station just a three-minute walk from the community and a Pace bus stop in proximity to the community. Also, the CTA Yellow Line Skokie “L” station is just a five-minute drive away.
Lexington Walk offers two rowhome floor plans. Priced from $367,490, the Warrington offers 1,758 square feet of space, with two bedrooms, 2½ baths and a first-floor den/office. Buyers have the option to upgrade the Warrington with a third bedroom on the upper level. The Coventry, which is priced from $378,990, measures 1,913 square feet and comes standard with three bedrooms and 2½ baths. Buyers can opt to add a bedroom and third full bath on the lower level, converting the Coventry into a four-bedroom, 3½-bath home.
"Buyers are attracted to the clean, open design of these townhomes, not to mention the competitive pricing for such well-designed floor plans in a community that’s centrally located and convenient for commuters,” said Benach. "That’s why we’re attracting such a diverse buyer pool – singles, families and empty-nesters from both the city and surrounding area are buying at Lexington Walk. The community is really coming to life, as our first homeowners have already moved in.”
Both the Warrington and Coventry have an upper-level master suite complete with a private master bath with an oversized walk-in shower, dual sinks with granite or marble countertops and a walk-in closet. On the main level, the homes feature a large kitchen island with a breakfast area that connects to an outdoor balcony. Finished lower levels in both plans provide flexible living space. Each plan includes a rear-facing two-car garage, and offers multiple options for customization, including additional bedrooms and baths.
“Buyers have the ability to personalize the homes to meet their needs and make it truly their own,” said Benach. “For example, if buyers check out our new, unfurnished model home, they’ll see how we customized the popular Coventry plan with a fireplace, 5-inch-wide hardwood flooring, oak staircase, and upgraded cabinets and countertops. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a volume ceiling, and we expanded the two secondary bedrooms. The model also shows the finished lower level, which can be used an office, play room or entertainment room.”
All homes at Lexington Walk come with a full slate of high-end finishes, including a GE stainless steel appliance package and granite countertops, as well as 9-foot ceilings and hardwood flooring throughout the main level.
In addition to offering commuters easy access to downtown Chicago via mass transit, Lexington Walk is located just one mile from the Interstate 94/Dempster Street interchange, providing easy access to the northern suburbs and downtown Chicago.
Top-rated schools are nearby, as are popular businesses such as L.A. Fitness, Whole Foods and Starbucks. The St. Paul Woods Forest Preserve, just a few blocks west of the community, will provide ample opportunities for nature walks and family picnics, and hiking and biking enthusiasts will also appreciate easy access to the North Branch Trail, which meanders through the natural areas along the North Branch of the Chicago River.
