Ishnala Woods Offers Superb Homes in Superb Setting

Mar 18, 2002 - One of the favorite amenities home buyers look for in a new home is something the builder may have little control over; the surrounding environment. That’s Mother Nature’s domain.

In the case of the custom-home community of The Estates of Ishnala Woods, this is the ideal location for buyers seeking Nature at its best and quiet country living, but still have all of the amenities of an urban community nearby.

Located on the north side of 143rd Street approximately one mile west of Harlem (80th Avenue), The Estates of Ishnala Woods is set in a traditional, rolling terrain setting, which is adjacent to lush greenery, mirrored in a placid lake, and densely wooded vistas. The community is close to shopping, Metra transportation, recreation and major highways.

Situated within the village of Orland Park, the upscale community is serviced by highly-acclaimed Carl Sandburg High School and Elementary School District #135.

"Our buyers are choosing The Estates of Ishnala Woods because of the natural beauty of the surrounding area and the close proximity to shopping, golf courses, major highways and Metra transportation. In fact, living here offers the best of everything," said Victor Plastiak, Sales Manager.

With only 15 choice home sites available, The Estates of Ishnala is offering a choice of several innovative ranch plans and a variety of stately two-story homes. The custom homes, which range from approximately 2,289 to 3,740 square feet of living area, are priced from the $345,324 to $454,678 (prices are subject to change).

With a collection of 14 exceptional home designs to choose from, and five models open for viewing, the Harvard is proving to be one of the favorite designs offered by Gallagher & Henry. From the builder who has been defining the art of suburban living since the mid-1950s, comes a masterpiece that is bound to define life in this new millennium.

The stately brick exterior, with a turret adding interest to the exterior roofline and the interior floor plan, evokes a bygone era of classic elegance with a contemporary flair. All aspects of the house’s design aim to create a warm, inviting and nurturing environment. This home could best be described as an infusion of architectural panache.

The two-story foyer, with an oak-trimmed staircase, separates the living room, enhanced with light-inviting bay windows, on one side and a first-floor private study/library on the other.

The open, free-flowing floor plan is highlighted with stately columns that lead to the living room and formal dining room. Additional columns offer architectural interest to the massive 21’11" x 14’10" family room.

The kitchen is not just a place to cook anymore, it’s a place to do paperwork, watch television and entertain. This room, designed for beauty and efficiency, will handle all the needs of the family. The bright bay-windowed breakfast room has sliding glass doors to the owner’s yard.

Upstairs, privately situated from the active part of the house, the master bedroom suite, with dramatic tray ceiling includes two walk-in closets and a glamour bath, with whirlpool tub and separate shower. On the opposite side of the upstairs floor plan are three additional bedrooms and another full bath.

Gallagher & Henry, with over 45 years experience in residential building, has earned a coveted reputation for distinctive brick homes. The homes includes brick on all four sides of the first floor, complimented with coordinating aluminum or vinyl siding.
