Last year, we moved across the country after living for fourteen years by the beach on the East Coast. We now live in a smaller home, on a smaller lot and honestly speaking, I couldn’t be happier. Living in a smaller home on a city lot has its pros and cons. The cons, in my opinion, are that you’re definitely much closer to your neighbors and privacy is more scarce. Now, the pros are far bigger than the cons, at least where I live. I love being close to everything, not being stuck in traffic and having more time to live life instead of having to garden every day off.
Recently built by my favorite builder in Illinois, M House Development, this corner lot home was designed to take advantage of its city lot. Being on the corner means that you only have neighbors only on one side, especially if the lot backs onto an alley like this one does. If you desire even more privacy, it can be added with the right landscaping choices.
There’s nothing lacking with this corner lot home. It offers plenty of curb-appeal and the interiors were, once again, perfectly designed by this amazing builder. I hope you love it as much as I do! 💗
