Location and quality are two<br />
big steps leading to a home<br />
buying decision and shoppers<br />
are advised to step carefully.<br />
A poor quality home in a<br />
good location remains a poor<br />
quality home. Likewise, a wellbuilt<br />
home in a poor location<br />
cannot be moved. Savvy buyers<br />
looking for the best of both<br />
and are finding it at Brookside<br />
Meadows in Tinley Park -<br />
along with many more reasons<br />
to own a new home.<br />
Brookside Meadows is a<br />
rare find for those who are<br />
upsizing, downsizing or who<br />
may be first time owners. Now<br />
entering its final phase in a<br />
peaceful Tinley Park setting,<br />
the neighborhood is developed<br />
by Crana Homes, legendary<br />
builder of Brookside Glen and<br />
other thriving communities.<br />
These luxury townhomes, with<br />
award-winning designs and<br />
energy-efficient features, are<br />
setting standards for maximum<br />
comfort and minimum care.<br />
Thousands of buyers who<br />
trusted Crana’s reputation<br />
for an excellent quality home<br />
that will hold its appreciation<br />
value know their investment<br />
was a smart choice. The<br />
same holds true at Brookside<br />
Meadows where all the same<br />
craftsmanship, attention to<br />
detail and customer care<br />
still distinguish the Crana<br />
difference. With standout<br />
design features – and with<br />
prices holding in the upper<br />
$200s (including site) - these<br />
homes continue to impress<br />
buyers who are looking for<br />
reliable value in a perfectly<br />
placed home.<br />

Park’s proximity to a major<br />

things to do. Traveling is<br />

highways and major streets<br />

Brookside Meadows currently<br />
features two very popular<br />
luxury townhome designs.<br />
The Fahan II is a beautiful<br />
3,303 total square foot home<br />
(2,087’ living space and a<br />
1,216’ basement) with a drywalled,<br />
two-car garage and<br />
cement driveway. The split<br />
level layout has three (optional<br />
four) bedrooms and twoand-half<br />
baths. The Lennan<br />
II is a comfortable two (or<br />
optional three) bedroom split<br />
level home and includes most<br />
of the features of the Fahan<br />
II except the spacious master<br />
suite has an optional cathedral<br />
ceiling and is located on the<br />
upper level. The Lennan II<br />
has 3,167 square feet of total<br />
space (2,118’ living space and<br />
1,049’ basement) and a two-car<br />
garage.<br />
Both designs have large<br />
open space kitchens with<br />
generous cabinet space and<br />
sleek granite countertops.<br />
A stately loft overlooks an<br />
impressive and relaxing great<br />
room which is adjacent to the<br />
kitchen. Gorgeous oak is used<br />
throughout – including doors,<br />
kitchen cabinets, railings and<br />
trim. Ceramic tile floors are<br />
finished in the foyer as well<br />
as the bathrooms - which also<br />
feature cultured marble vanity<br />
tops. A full lookout basement<br />
and a patio are also included.<br />
Popular options can make<br />
a great home even better! A<br />
fireplace is a very impressive<br />
touch as well as coffered<br />
ceilings. Skylights provide<br />
natural light and a soaker tub<br />
in the master bath provides<br />
natural comfort. A walkout<br />
basement is available in some<br />
layouts. Specs and options<br />
can change so contact a sales<br />
associate for details.<br />
