When we compared this Monday’s official daily perk with the unoffical deal of the day we posted earlier, we couldn’t stop thinking “bo-ring.” Townhomes on the Square, 4949 N Lincoln Ave, is offering a Viking kitchen appliance upgrade for a limited time. We know. You’re ready to close your browser window and head for the coffee machine. We were offered better deals after crossing the border into Tijuana.
Viking appliances are nothing to snub. They’re top-of-the-line and far better than the standard third-rate appliances you’ll find at a lot of developments. A Viking refrigerator could run you as much as $7,000, so this ain’t a free cup of coffee. We’ve just grown tired of these sorts of deals. They’ll hardly win buyers or tip fence-sitters, but they do provide a nice bonus for those who have already settled on the project.
Townhomes on the Square, located just north of the actual square in Lincoln Square, is designed in a “park-like” setting, with a water fountain and “old Chicago street lights.” (Yeah we know. New construction + “old” street lights = wtf?) The development will contain 31 townhomes, and pre-construction pricing starts at $499,000. Developer New Haven homes says 50 percent of the units in Phase I have been sold. Maybe those silly appliance giveaways are encouraging eager buyers to jump on board.
