"a cottage community"

The Hedgerows is a residential condominium community located in a private enclave between historic and new neighborhoods in Monticello, Illinois. The 3.6 acre property is six blocks east of Monticello's Historic Town Square and Business District, yet within close proximity of Monticello's new Middle School and one half block south of Washington Street, which provides ready access to Champaign-Urbana, Willard Airport and the University of Illinois.

The Hedgerows consists of sixteen cottages arranged on two pedestrian courtyards. The Hedgerows also contains a large commons area with two landscaped ponds and an extensive network of walkways, both within the community and connecting to the surrounding neighborhoods. Individual cottages front on the courts while convenient driveways/alleys provide access to two car garages and additional guest parking.

The basic home styles include four cottage options with sizes ranging from 1,420 s.f. to 1,980 s.f. Existing designs are affordably priced starting in the $170,000's. Custom architectural designs are also available.

The cottages reflect the Arts and Crafts style of architecture popular from the 1920's to the 1940's and fit in well with Monticello's historic character. The one-story, one-and-one-half-story and two-story cottages are all free standing. No shared walls allows both greater privacy and more natural light. Theses homes offer sunny open floor plans, large operable windows, fireplaces, front and back covered porches and individual fenced gardens.

Models of selected styles are available for immediate purchase, or as an option, homes can be customized to specific needs and desires by the in-house architectural staff.

The Hedgerows offers the best of two worlds: the carefree living of condominium ownership coupled with the privacy and individuality of single family cottages. Best of all, the Hedgerows is located in highly regarded Monticello, a community that prides itself on its combination of history, character and modern necessities, and yet the Hedgerows is only minutes from the business, shopping, and cultural amenities of Champaign, Decatur and Bloomington.

Whether for small town charm and sense of community, the highly rated school system, the relaxed pace, or an excellent all around retirement location, the Hedgerows is a great place to call home.
