Only two dozen home sites remain at Fairmont Village

Aug 31, 2001 - Fairmont Village, an attractive single-family home community conveniently located near stores, restaurants and parks, is down to its last 24 brick homes. The mid-priced Gallagher & Henry community, which runs parallel to the beautiful McCarthy Park, offers a dozen beautiful floor plans that are sure to please a wide variety of buyers. Plus, with the extensive selection of ranch, bi-level, tri-level and two-story homes to choose from, the community avoids the "cookie cutter" look of many subdivisions. These beautiful Tinley Park homes provide 2,000 to 3,463 square feet of customizable living space and are priced from $227,010 to $300,395 (prices subject to change without notice).

These new homes typically feature face brick on all four sides, three/four or five bedrooms with a master bedroom suite, formal dining rooms, spacious breakfast rooms, elegant living rooms and family rooms with masonry fireplaces (optional). Many homes also include two-story or cathedral entry foyers, oversized garages and basements.

Standard features and finishes to be found in all Fairmont Village homes include oak cabinetry, GE brand appliances (stove, dishwasher, range hood and garbage disposal), two-car garages, basement, whirlpool tub (per plan), stained oak trim and doors, and ceramic floor tile in baths and foyer.

Each floor plan is available in a variety of exterior elevations and color schemes. If desired, homebuyers can request Gallagher & Henry to make some alterations on a home to suit their individual lifestyle. Optional available amenities include: skylights to add natural light to any room, wood burning masonry fireplace to chase away the cold of winter, central air conditioning to make the hot summer days bearable and thermostatically controlled humidifier and air cleaners to provide a more comfortable environment to live in. Of course, virtually any amenity that a homeowner wishes to have installed in his or her home is available.

In addition to providing a high quality home, Gallagher & Henry's Fairmont Village provides a perfect environment to raise a family. For exercise and relaxation, residents are within walking distance to the 10-acre McCarthy Park, which includes miniature golf, hiking/bicycling paths and a lake that is large enough to cast out a fishing line and maybe bring home dinner. For more activities families may also visit Centennial Park, Jaycee Grove, and Gunther Sport Field. The Olcott Avenue Bridge over Midlothian Creek gives residents access to another scenic bike trail.

Tinley Park commuters are a short drive from I-80 and I-57 and can reach downtown Chicago in 50 minutes. Drive times to Midway and O'Hare airports are 35 and 50 minutes respectively. Two Metra train stations provide an opportunity to reach the Chicago Loop in only 55 minutes.
