The Park House on Harris Avenue

A Rare Parkside Setting in the Heart of Clarendon Hills

347 Harris Ave., Clarendon Hills, ILJune 2026 - August 2027

Set on an extraordinary 76' x 178' homesite overlooking the open green space of Hosek Park, 347 Harris Avenue is one of the most compelling new-construction opportunities in Clarendon Hills.

Properties offering this combination of expansive park views, exceptional lot size, and walk-to-town convenience rarely come to market in Clarendon Hills.

Here, architecture and setting come together to create a residence that feels both distinguished and effortlessly livable while remaining moments from schools, parks, restaurants, and Metra access.

A Rare Park-Facing Homesite

The 76' x 178' property opens directly toward Hosek Park, creating a setting with unusual breadth, light, and breathing room for central Clarendon Hills. That relationship between home, yard, and open green space drives the entire design approach.

From massing and window placement to lower-level daylight exposure and landscape planning, the site allows the residence to feel both private and connected to something larger than a typical village lot.

Project Story

Designed for Light, Openness, and Livability

The residence is envisioned across four beautifully finished levels and approximately 5,900 square feet, reflecting a refined transitional architectural style that balances classic proportions with modern livability.

Expansive windows draw natural light throughout the home while framing unobstructed views of the park and surrounding landscape.

Generously scaled living spaces are planned to create seamless flow, equally suited for everyday family life and gracious entertaining.

The home is planned with 10-foot ceilings on the main level and an English-style lower level with 9'6" ceilings where large daylight windows overlook the yard and open park beyond.

Every detail, from layout and materials to the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, is being considered to create a residence that feels refined, welcoming, and enduring.

Estimated timeline is June 2026 through August 2027, with CMA Builders coordinating architecture, interiors, construction, and integrated technology.

This is not simply a new house offering. It is a singular opportunity to shape a park-facing luxury residence in the heart of Clarendon Hills.

01

Architectural Vision

The residence reflects a transitional architectural style, blending the enduring elegance of traditional design with the clean lines and livability of contemporary homes.

Classic proportions, thoughtfully balanced rooflines, and refined exterior materials create a home that feels both timeless and current.

The design approach emphasizes light-filled interiors, gracious room sizes, and natural flow between spaces to create an environment that is sophisticated, welcoming, and highly functional.

The result is a residence grounded in architectural tradition while thoughtfully designed for modern family living.

02

English Lower Level

Unlike a typical basement, the home's English-style lower level is designed as a true extension of the primary living environment.

With 9'6" ceilings and oversized daylight windows, this level welcomes abundant natural light and maintains visual connection to the manicured yard and park setting beyond.

The lower level creates exceptional opportunities for additional living and entertaining areas without sacrificing openness, comfort, or architectural continuity.

This planning approach ensures every level of the residence remains connected to the surrounding landscape.

03

Hosek Park Setting

Few homes in Clarendon Hills enjoy a setting quite like this. From the rear of the residence, views extend across the yard to Hosek Park, creating an uncommon sense of openness in a residential neighborhood.

Hosek Park is a 9-acre neighborhood asset with modernized accessible playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, and soccer and softball fields.

The setting combines tranquility and landscape connection with everyday convenience to downtown Clarendon Hills amenities and transit.

Opportunities to build a new residence with this blend of park exposure, lot scale, and village access are exceptionally rare.
