****Memorial Weekend Sale!****If under contract by end of day Monday, May 25th, the sales price is reduced to $750,000!!!! Don't miss this opportunity! A gorgeous Watts model - the largest floor plan in Prairie Crossing - has arrived and it is ready to impress! From the moment you arrive, unobstructed front views of native prairie and the shimmering waters of Lake Leopold will take your breath away, and those views only get better from the deluxe second-story porch. With four bedrooms, three stunning finished above-grade levels, all fresh interior paint and NEW carpeting throughout, this home is completely move-in ready. The light-drenched third floor frames panoramic views of both the lake and open prairie - ideal as a recreation room, media room, or home office. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped fenced yard with an elegant paver patio, perfect for entertaining. Owned solar panels add efficiency and value. Prairie Crossing is truly more than a neighborhood - it is a lifestyle. Miles of trails wind through gorgeous native prairie for jogging, hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. A beautifully landscaped beach overlooks Lake Leopold, a 20-acre private lake exclusive to residents, perfect for kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, fishing, and sunset viewing. Tennis courts, a fitness center, sand volleyball courts, a charcoal grill, community fire pits, and an Edible Landscape area featuring cherries, apples, grapes, and blackberries round out the outdoor amenities. Liberty Prairie Farm is an on-site USDA certified organic farm offering weekly seasonal shares, a farm store open to the public, and farm-fresh free-range eggs. Bring your horse - Prairie Crossing features a Co-op Stable with an outdoor riding ring and 10 miles of trails, with additional access through Oak Openings Forest Preserve. A variety of playgrounds are nestled throughout, and community events - including Beach BBQs, Egg Hunts, Fourth of July Bike Parades, and Summer Concerts at the Gazebo - bring neighbors together year-round. Served by Fremont Elementary School District 79 and in-district for Prairie Crossing Charter School, an environmentally based K-8 charter school (admission by lottery for in-district residents). Commuters will love the prime location at the intersection of Metra's Milwaukee District North and North Central lines, offering convenient service to downtown Chicago and O'Hare. Come experience life on the prairie - this one will not last!
