4 Townhome Models Available for Fast Delivery

Buyers yearning for new housing in a thriving suburban downtown environment while staying in close proximity to Chicago culture and entertainment now have another great reason to visit The Townhomes at 8200—Norwood Builders’ community of luxury townhomes in Skokie: The four remaining models are each available for early delivery, making a fast move-in easy.

Located at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Cleveland Street in downtown Skokie, The Townhomes at 8200 features all-new, row-home style, three-story floorplans that offer two bedrooms plus den, two-and-a-half baths, a family room and 1,805 square feet.

These townhomes are designed in Prairie-style architecture with brick and stone exteriors, front doors with sidelights and transom windows, and include private individual entrances, front porches and bay windows. Affordably priced from $449,900 to $524,900, these homes are large and spacious inside and offer a single-family style living experience in a maintenance-free lifestyle.

Three of the four townhomes remaining are finished and available for occupancy within 30 days, while the fourth will be move-in ready within 90 days. Two are end units with a balcony and patio, and all are loaded with a variety of preferred amenities, depending on the townhome selected.

The main level of each home showcases an open combination living and dining room with a fireplace, a U-shaped kitchen with breakfast bar, and a separate breakfast room with sliding glass doors leading to a balcony. Upstairs is a spacious hallway landing, laundry closet and a secondary bedroom with a private bath. The luxury master suite has a large walk-in closet, ultra bath with separate shower and tub and dual vanity sinks. Additionally, the lower level den can be converted into a third bedroom. This room also makes an ideal location for a home office or family game room.

Other standard finishes that will impress shoppers are hardwood flooring in the foyer and kitchen (per plan), Schlage nickel hardware, white painted millwork with five-and-a-half-inch baseboards, designer light fixtures, and ceramic tile flooring, ceramic tile tub and shower surrounds in the baths. The kitchen is finished with stainless steel appliances and granite or Corian countertops.

Additionally, each townhome has individually controlled high-efficiency heating and air conditioning, a 50-gallon water heater, and thermal pane low-E glass windows—all designed to maximize energy savings.

The surrounding property will be fully landscaped, and all homes are maintenance-free. Maintenance of all common areas, green spaces, walkways, driveways and landscaping is handled by the homeowners’ association. Insurance on common property is also included in the monthly assessments.

Plus, each home includes a rear-loading, attached 2-car garage (with an extra storage area to store toys or bicycles) and use of an additional 2 exterior parking spaces directly behind the building.

In addition to the carefree setting, the community’s location is another draw for buyers.

“The location of The Townhomes at 8200 makes this community ideal for families with older children who need to get to afterschool activities or want to visit friends—and they won’t have to ask mom or dad for a ride. The property is close to the Skokie Swift train station, the Pace bus stops directly in front of the building and it’s within just a few minutes from the Edens and I-90 expressways,” said Adreani.

The Townhomes at 8200 are within walking distance of Oakton Street and downtown Skokie, which has a colorful mix of shops and restaurants. The Skokie police headquarters is a short walk north, and a main post office facility is one block east. Additionally, residents are a few minutes drive from world-class shopping at Old Orchard shopping center to the north and Village Crossing to the south. Skokie offers abundant community services, and the area also features outstanding schools, the nationally acclaimed Skokie Park District, and the renowned Northshore Center for the Performing Arts. Skokie is also the location of the new Illinois Science + Technology Park.
