🏡 SOLD: 1179 Hanover, Batavia
When my clients needed to relocate to Chicagoland for work, they had a clear list: close to Downers Grove, under 30 minutes to the office, good schools, updated, and enough room for the kids and a home office — all under $600K.
Our spring and early summer market was intense this year... Not an easy market to pull that off in. We were close to buying a few homes (not the one they bought) but uncovered some surprises that they were not interested in living with — from termite issues to some crime concerns that didn't show up until we dug deeper — and we had to walk away more than once.
But sometimes "meant to be" just needs you to widen the search radius. We shifted a little further west to Batavia, and thanks to I-88, their commute stayed easy. And this house? We got it under contract immediately before it went to the weekend and open house cycle.
Bike trails out the door, a quiet street, a sunroom and thoughtful updates throughout — this home checked every box on their list, plus a few they didn't know they needed.
So happy for this family as they start their new Chicagoland chapter. Here's to the next adventure (and the next promotion, whenever it comes)! 🎉
