Trafalgar Woods in Morton Grove offers scenic views in town
Nestled next to a forest preserve, yet in a prime location near shopping, restaurants and transportation, Trafalgar Woods offers homebuyers the best of both worlds in the heart of Morton Grove.
The townhouse community by Lennar features 115 townhouses comprising two three-story designs with two to three bedrooms, 21/2 baths and finished lower levels that access a two-car garage.
Located on Waukegan Avenue just south of Dempster Street, the community is bordered on two sides by a forest preserve where residents can enjoy scenic views and biking and walking paths. Some new home sites overlook the preserve, and homeowners will feel as though they live in nature.
"Our maintenance-free townhouses with more than 1,700 square feet of living space is an ideal size for first-time home buyers, young professionals and downsizers who know the value of living in Morton Grove," said Doug Bober, vice president of operations for Lennar Chicago.
"Trafalgar Woods has been well-received by today's home buyers and offers a location that's second-to-none. Once you visit our community, see our homes and excellent location, you'll know why so many have chosen this community for their home."
While Trafalgar Woods' in-town location with natural surroundings has piqued buyers' interest, so has Lennar's Everything You Want, Everything You Need concept, which means high quality features and upgrades are already included in every new home.
For example, all homes include GE stainless steel appliances including gas range, microwave and dishwasher, European height vanity in master bath, nine-foot main level ceilings and six-panel Colonist doors and trim. All homes come with a fully sodded home site and professional landscaping package.
Visitors are invited to tour one of the available designs modeled at the community. Camden base-priced from $319,900 features 1,721 square feet, three bedrooms and 21/2 baths.
This home features a contemporary interior with plenty of flexible space that buyers can adapt to their own lifestyles.
Homeowners will love entertaining guests in the lower level where the Rat Pack theme takes center stage. The light-filled space features a media center and plasma TV with plenty of seating on a love seat and four upholstered chairs with a geometric design in neutral colors. A large photo display pictures the three stars in their prime.
On the main level, the living room features an angled furniture arrangement with love seat and two chairs all loaded with pillows. Contemporary artwork and area rugs add color and texture.
A square dining table shows dark chocolate place settings that contrast with the silver centerpiece. A pass-through to the kitchen allows the cook to entertain with ease.
The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, staggered birch cabinetry topped with granite and a sleek glass-topped table with four chairs. A half bath with pedestal sink, laundry room and balcony sit off the kitchen.
Upstairs, the master suite features a stunning bed cover while six framed patterns hang above the bed depicting the same color scheme. The room also includes a curved dresser with mirror and walk-in closet.
The private bath features a European height vanity with cultured marble top, tub/shower combination and dark chocolate accents and accessories.
A full hall bath serves the secondary bedrooms. One is set up with a day bed loaded with pillows, media center and plasma TV while the other room is shown as a home office with a contemporary wallpaper design.
Atwood is the second floor plan offered at the community. Also with a base price of $319,900 and 1,721 square feet, this design features two master suites on the second level and 21/2 baths.
A monthly assessment of $183 covers maintenance and lighting of common areas, green space, walks and driveways along with home exterior upkeep, lawn cutting and snow removal.
