Whether it's enjoying incredible views of the Village Green & Gazebo from the front porch or relaxing on the brick paver patio in the beautifully landscaped backyard, you won't need reminding what a special place this is. Located on a premium corner lot, you are a short walk from many of the great outdoor amenities in Prairie Crossing. The feeling of openness and endless natural light continues as you enjoy this thoughtfully designed expanded Halsey. Take a walk down the street to experience spectacular and truly breathtaking sunsets. For indoor entertainment, head down to the awesome basement. Prairie Crossing is a nationally acclaimed conservation community with vast stretches of protected prairie throughout. Resident amenities include ten miles of trails for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and horseback riding. The private lake with beach provides summer swimming, kayaking, fishing and sailing. In winter there's ice skating, ice hockey and ice fishing. Additional amenities include tennis courts, sand volleyball court, multiple playgrounds, and community farm. Commuters appreciate the ten-minute walk to two Metra train lines going to Union Station and O'Hare Airport.
