Each of the townhouses in the development will have a full basement and an eat-in kitchen with doors leading out to the patio. The very larger master suite (20x19) has a walk-in closet and bath. This unit is being built to be handicapped accessible as well.Another of the many Chicago (http://www.chicagorealestatereport.com/chicago-real-estate.html) real estate finds available for sale in the pre-construction phase is a smaller town home, 1800 square feet, with an asking price of $247,700.
