Modern amenities, luxury features at the Glens of Connemara in Lemont

The Glens of Connemara captures buyers' attention with a mix of modern luxuries and Lemont charm. From little league parades to its Tuesday farmers market, Lemont boasts all the characteristics of small-town charm, a primary reason the southwest suburban community entertains generation after generation as well as a surplus of new residents.

With roots dating to the mid-1800s, Lemont which is about 30 minutes from Chicago's downtown, has evolved into one of the Southland's quiet gems. Though the town's population has sprouted in recent years, Lemont maintains its cozy feel amid rolling terrain and winding waterways.

Against the backdrop of this Rockwell-esque portrait sits The Glens of Connemara, a collection of 20 luxury estates from Castletown Homes, one of the Southland's most reputable names over the last four decades.

Lemont still has an old town, historic feel despite being right in the middle of the Southland's growth," said Castletown Homes sales manager Ann Bell, herself a Lemont resident for the last dozen years. "The Glens of Connemara gives people high-end executive living in this charming, family-friendly town."

The Glens of Connemara's single-family luxury homes reach up to 4,000 square feet. Starting at $479,000, buyers select from one of four four-bedroom / 2.5-bath homes, each of which includes a first-floor study and three-car garage. All Castletown-built homes feature elegant touches, such as oak flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a masonry fireplace to go along with brick-and-stone exterior construction.

Many of the home lots in The Glens of Connemara border golf course property, parkland, cul-de-sacs, or Ludwig's Farm, providing homeowners scenic views, safety, and privacy.

"We're getting interest from all types of residents, all of them attracted to Castletown's reputation for building a quality home, the value we consistently provide, and the character of Lemont," Bell said.

The Glens of Connemara is quickly accessible by Route 83, I-55, or a pair of I-355 exits (127th Street or Archer Avenue). The community is located on 131st Street just west of Bell Road. The Castletown Homes' sales office and model homes are open from noon to 4 p.m. daily, or by appointment.
