Splurge vs. Steal: Pretty in Pink, Plus a New Build in West Kessler

West Kessler puts you close to Bishop Arts and minutes from downtown. So this week, we went hunting for two homes in the area that offer just that! These two beauties afford picturesque interiors and outdoor amenities, but with price points that are miles apart. Which would you choose the Updated Craftsman Cottage or the Traditional New Build?

Splurge: Craftsman Cottage With A Pool For $569K

Ideally nestled on a mature lot rests this lovely Craftsman cottage with a sparkling pool and charming touches galore! The pink door is a unique twist, met by classic shutters and a darling front porch.

Inside, the three-bedroom, two-full-and-one-half-bathroom home you’ll enjoy a light-filled 1,824 square feet. Gorgeous hardwoods, French doors, picture windows, and tall ceilings make this one feel just right.

There are built-ins and designer light fixtures, plus a fully-equipped kitchen with a chic herringbone tile backsplash. A new en-suite master with marble bath and private landscaped gardens are but a few of the extras that make this one a worthy splurge. And Bishop Arts is just a mile away.

April Allen with JP & Associates Realtors has listed 839 N. Winnetka Avenue for $569,000.

Steal: Gated West Kessler New Build Backing To A Greenbelt For $488,208

For those who want all-new, this 2019-built traditional is a great find. It offers a gated West Kessler address near all the action of Bishop Arts and an easy-breezy three-bedroom, two-full-and-one-half-bathroom layout.

Clean lines and modern design choices can be found throughout. This includes the sleek granite and stainless steel kitchen and oversized master bath with walk-in glass shower.

A palette of calming grays and tons of natural light allow the home to suit a variety of tastes. And nothing beats the covered patio, grassy lawn, and prime location backing to a lush greenbelt for long walks with the dog. 

Jimmy Rado with David Weekley Homes has listed 638 Promontory Lane for $488,208.
