LN June 30, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 49 IMPROVEMENTS FOR WEST- MOOR TRAIL IN WINNETKA Bids are to be received next Tues- day by the Village Trustees for the improvements scheduled to go into this beautiful development on Hibbard Road at Westmoor, overlooking the beautiful Skokie Valley and leading down to the Community Golf Course. It is contemplated that these im- provements will be completed within six weeks from the time work is started and at which time two or three homes will probably be started by parties who have purchased lots here for their future home sites. Every lot purchased to date has been acquired by people long time residents of Winnetka, who appreciate the many advantages of this location. . In putting in the improvements, everything possible will be done not only to preserve the beauty, but add to it. Parkways for example, in the center, thus protecting the row of beautiful trees on the dividing line, in the middle of the roadway. No unsightly telephone poles or electric lines--everything is to be un- derground. The roadway is to be of reinforced concrete 18 feet in width, except where the parkways are located, in which case there will be 9 feet provided on either side, giving a beautiful contour instead of straight lines. All improvements are to be put in under one operation, provision being made for Sanitary Sewer, storm water drainage, gas, electric light and power and telephone conduits, paving and 3 foot sidewalk on the South Side of the drive, contiguous to it. This drive will continue to the East line of the two lots on the West end where a turn-a-round is provided inasmuch as this will be a dead-end roadway, the Community Golf Course and Village Park adjoining the property on the West. This is one of the few available localities in Winnetka overlooking the beautiful Skokie Valley, high and dry. remaining Restrictions Assure High-Class Homes Size of Plots One of the first things necessary to assure a desirable home-site is the size of the plots to be built upon. This has already been provided. The two lots on the West end, overlooking the Golf Course or Village Park, front 208 feet on Westmoor, the one on the North having a depth of 165 feet and the one on the South having a depth of 175 feet. Immediately adjoining lots on the East have a frontage of 150 feet, and the remainder continu- ing East having a frontage of 125 feet each on the South side and 132 feet frontage on the North side. Homes shall be built not nearer than 30 feet from the East and West divid- ing lines, assuring at least 60 feet be- tween houses, yet giving ample space TT atte sn gas ... HIBBARD RoAD TIVL YOOWLSIM for the construction of beautiful homes of any desired type. No detached garages or outbuildings--each home to be one harmonious whole. Homes re- stricted to cost not less than $20,000.00. Everything will be new--landscaping to beautify and not to obscure. Advantages of Location Here you have the advantages of the country plus all of the conven- iences of the Village; off the main thoroughfare; no through traffic to endanger your children or disturb your peace of mind; freedom from dust and smoke and dirt. Quiet--peaceful--serene--and beauti- ful. Where nature is working con- tinuously to keep you duly appreciative of her grandeur--painting beautiful pictures--ever changing--to fit all moods. Schools Nearby Primary school a quarter mile, Skokie Junior High a half mile, makes easy walking distance for your chil- dren. Less than a mile to the Hubbard Woods Station, a little more to the Elm Street Station. A Community Golf Course at your door, a round before breakfast and still make your regular train, or a round after the daily grind and home for dinner. A playfield for your chil- dren. Can anything offer more? Will you be satisfied with anything less? At Reasonable Prices The plots already sold have been purchased by Winnetka residents who have looked for years for more desir- able Winnetka locations -- men who know values--who appreciate its ad- vantages. Call me up and make an appointment to see Westmoor Trail. If it is worth considering at all, it is worth having all its advantages pointed out which may not be apparent by casually driv- ing by. Get all the facts, consider all the advantages, find out who your neighbors will be, what the plan of de- velopment is, then decide. There are so few tracts available-- and, once gone--always GONE. The price won't deter you because it is much less than anything comparable. GLEN C. BULL 500 Maple Avenue Phone Winnetka 1016 or Central 6970
