River's Edge offers abundant green space
River's Edge offers new condominiums with open space inside and abundant green space next door.
The development lies adjacent to a Lake County Forest Preserve in Vernon Hills, bordering Lincolnshire.
The first occupants took residence in mid-January. Only a handful of residences remain. Some are ready for immediate occupancy, while others await residents to choose finish options.
Remaining residences include two-bedroom/two-bath units, some with dens, studies or formal dining rooms, and one three-bedroom/2½-bath plan.
They range in size from 1,745 to 2,325 square feet with private balconies, and are priced from $373,500 to $539,000.
Interior appointments include computer-friendly Internet stations in most remaining residences, with pre-wired R-6 coaxial cable and Category 5E multi-line telephone outlets.
Each residence also features expansive windows with transom lights to capture the views, solid-core doors with Schlage hardware, and wood flooring in the foyer and kitchen.
All units include one or two deeded indoor parking spaces with storage. Each building, meanwhile, features a club room with a terrace and fitness facility.
Kitchen features include granite counter tops, 42-inch-high maple wall cabinets, Whirlpool gas ranges, dishwashers, built-in microwave ovens and side-by-side refrigerators with ice and water in the door, Kitchenaid disposals and Kohler double-bowl stainless steel sinks.
Luxury bathrooms boast maple or oak cabinetry, ceramic tile flooring and separate Kohler soaking tubs and separate showers, as well as Corian® vanity tops; mirrored medicine cabinets and full-length vanity mirrors.
With its Arts & Crafts architecture blending into the north end of the Half Day Forest Preserve, the community also boasts a private 1-acre nature park with the Des Plaines River bike trail to its east -- as well as a waterfall at the entry from Milwaukee Avenue, and a gazebo next to the nature park.
Two rail stations for the Metra North Central Service line -- Vernon Hills and Prairie View -- are within minutes. The commute to Chicago's Union Station takes about an hour. River's Edge also is set within Stevenson High School District 125.
River's Edge sits on the east side of Milwaukee Avenue, 1½ blocks north of Route 22; enter on Benjamin Drive. Sales office hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For information, call (847) 821-8080 or see www.WeissDevelopment.com.
