Grand Opening of luxury townhomes at Radcliffe Place

Four new townhome models will grand open this Saturday and Sunday at Radcliffe Place in Tinley Park.

Showcasing the brick construction and craftsmanship of builder Gallagher and Henry, the townhomes also include interior finishes such as glazed cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, hardwood flooring, ceramic tile with decorative inlays and much more.

According to Radcliffe Place sales manager, Valentina Plastiak, buyer interest among commuters and current Radcliffe Place single-family home owners has been strong.

"Because the townhomes are within walking distance of the Metra train station we've had a lot of interest from daily downtown commuters," Plastiak said. "In fact, our first townhome buyer is a commuter and loves the idea of being able walk to the train station every day. We've also had interest from current single-family homeowners in Radcliffe Place who are looking to stay in the area but want to streamline their lifestyle. With only 20 townhomes and buyer interest at such a high, we're anticipating brisk sales upon the model Grand Opening."

Located on 179th Street and Iroquois just east of LaGrange Road, Radcliffe Place is a community of 309 semi-custom single-family homes and townhomes. The townhomes are priced from the low $300,000s and range from approximately 1,800 to 2,500 square feet in size with two to three bedrooms, lofts per plan, and a list of custom finishes included as standard.

"The Addison model, an end unit, is decorated and features a first-floor master bedroom suite," Plastiak said. "Couples with high school and college-aged children like the idea of having their bedroom on the first-floor while the children can utilize the two bedrooms, loft and full bath upstairs. We've also had an interest from 'related living' buyers who are purchasing the Addison and planning to have an older parent living on the first-floor while they maintain the upstairs for themselves. It is a very flexible design."

Highlights of the 2,406-square-foot Addison include a first-floor master suite with his-and-hers walk-in closets and a private bath, as well as two upstairs bedrooms both with walk-in closets and a loft. This home also offers a kitchen with octagonal-shaped breakfast room; living room and adjoining dining room with volume ceiling; basement; and two-car garage.

"The model showcases some beautiful decorator extras such as a cherry banister with wrought-iron spindles, cherry-glazed kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and frise carpeting," Plastiak said. "Warm beiges, sage greens and burgundy tones bring this model to life."

Three other townhomes are not decorated but are loaded with quality upgrades and ready for immediate delivery. They are:

✿ The Beldon, a 1,821-square-foot three-bedroom home or two-bedroom home with optional loft, 2½ baths and basement.

"The Clayton for immediate delivery includes upgraded, crí¨me-colored glazed Merrilat cabinets and deep mocha-colored hardwood plank flooring," Plastiak said. "The family room fireplace also features a decorative ceramic-tile surround which is very lovely."

Part of the allure of Radcliffe Place is the location. Minutes from Interstates 80 and 57, Radcliffe Place residents also benefit from the newly opened I-355 extension. Two Metra Stations are also nearby with one in walking distance of Radcliffe Place. Restaurants, shopping, medical centers and other conveniences are within walking distance of the community, and several Orland Park shopping centers are within 10 minutes of Radcliffe Place. Children attend the newly opened Millennium Elementary school, which is within Radcliffe Place, as well as Prairie View Middle School and Andrew High School.

Adults and children benefit from numerous programs, facilities and parks offered through the Tinley Park Park District.
