On the market: Georgian in Arlington Heights

Within one of the quaintest neighborhoods of Arlington Heights, known as Ridge Park, sits a brick Georgian that has certainly stood the test of time. It now awaits for another young couple or single professional to add their name to its list of happy owners through the years.

Built in 1946, the home is located within minutes of Arlington Park track and sits only blocks from downtown Arlington Heights. The home has been recently renovated to include a library. It features hardwood floors and brightly-painted rooms, as well as charming window boxes outside, filled with flowers.
