Introducing The Wren, a thoughtfully designed cottage home within "The Willows", a boutique pocket neighborhood in Heritage Harbor's Harbor Village. Rooted in the principles of Traditional Neighborhood Design, this intimate setting is centered around a shared green space that fosters connection, walkability, and a true sense of community, where front porches face neighbors and everyday life naturally extends outdoors. Designed by Allison Ramsey Architects, a nationally recognized and multi-award-winning firm known for timeless, place-based residential design, The Wren blends classic architectural character with modern livability through steep rooflines, charming cottage detailing, and inviting covered porches that create a cohesive and elevated streetscape. Inside, The Wren offers approximately 1,727 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged around an open-concept main level designed for both comfort and entertaining. The kitchen features a walk-in pantry, semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into the living and dining areas with 10' ceilings. Upstairs, vaulted bedroom ceilings create an airy, light-filled retreat, while practical features like a large laundry room and smart storage solutions enhance everyday functionality. The home also includes high-quality finishes such as luxury vinyl plank flooring, a gas fireplace, and energy-efficient systems including a tankless water heater and high-efficiency HVAC, all contributing to long-term value and ease of ownership. Located within Heritage Harbor, a marina resort community along the Illinois River, ownership offers more than just a home, it delivers a lifestyle centered around waterfront living, walking paths, dining, and year-round events. The Wren also presents a unique opportunity for flexibility, as it is eligible for on-site property management as a short-term rental. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that is both architecturally distinctive and intentionally placed within a community designed for connection, relaxation, and lasting value.
