We love Beachwalk with its beautiful home colors and white picket fences! It’s really a hidden gem and only one hour away from downtown Chicago.

BIg Red is one of the largest homes in Beachwalk and is very private as it backs up to the park. The open floor plan makes it special for large gatherings. The house has a Kentucky Derby theme with beautiful art work throughout. BIg Red is the nickname of Secretariat the winning Derby horse!
