Property Description
Expansive 2.5-Acre Property in Prime Westmont Location - Hinsdale Central Schools. Just blocks from vibrant downtown Westmont and within the sought-after Hinsdale schools, this exceptional 2.5-acre property, measuring 165 feet by 629 feet, offers an unmatched blend of space, location, and opportunity. City ordinances and zoning approvals are already in place to subdivide into either three buildable lots at 55 feet wide each or two lots at 82.5 feet wide each, with the minimum lot size in Westmont being 50 feet by 125 feet. For subdivisions of four or more lots, city approval for a street or driveway easement and county approval to convert the rear 100 feet from wetland to a retention pond would be required, unlocking even greater development potential. This expansive parcel also presents the perfect setting for a grand private estate, custom luxury residence, or personal oasis. With its rare size, prime location near shops, dining, Metra, and top-rated schools, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create something extraordinary in one of the area's most desirable communities. Public, city/lake, Michigan water and sewer access. Value is in the land - existing structure will need demolition.
