SYCAMORE, IL –August 15, 2023– Northern Illinois University Assistant Football Coach, Wesley Beschorner, and his wife, Kiki, are not novices when it comes to moving. Having coached at the University of Pittsburgh, Rice, Maryland and South Dakota and, most recently, at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire, the family of five knows what they want when looking for a new neighborhood and found it at Reston Ponds in Sycamore.
“We knew we wanted a family-oriented community with good schools,” said Kiki Beschorner. “Reston Ponds is an up-and-coming community in a beautiful area. We walk our dogs, Zoey and Lulu, throughout the neighborhood and everyone is very friendly. We’re also in walking distance to downtown Sycamore.”
Located just north of I-88 and east of Peace Road in Sycamore, Reston Ponds is a master-planned community featuring six ponds, a 12-acre Sycamore Park District community park and Southeast Elementary School, which is part of Sycamore School District 427. In addition to being within walking distance of downtown Sycamore, Reston Ponds is minutes from the I-88 employment corridor, Northern Illinois University and Kishwaukee Hospital, part of Northwestern Medicine.
“We chose the Palmetto design with four bedrooms, so everyone has their own room,” Kiki said. “I really liked the overall layout and I work from home so having a separate home office was important. We also have a big backyard, which is a must with three active boys and two dogs.”
The two-story Palmetto features a charming covered front porch, four bedrooms, a den, flex room, island kitchen open to the family room, dining room, master bedroom suite with his-and-hers walk-in closets and private luxury bath, three secondary bedrooms served by a full hall bath, convenient second-floor laundry room, full basement and two-car garage.
Priced at $474,200, a Palmetto, backing to the ponds, is currently under construction with a late fall move in date. The home offers 2,674 square feet of living space with four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, full basement and 2.5-car garage.
In addition to the Palmetto, Shodeen offers ranch and two-story designs ranging from 1,613 to 2,625 square feet with three or four bedrooms, two or 2 ½ baths, full basements, two car garages and fully sodded and landscaped exteriors.
“We had a really good building experience with Shodeen Homes,” Kiki said. “Everyone was very helpful and prompt when we had questions or when addressing some of the minor issues that come with building new.”
The Sycamore Park District owns and operates an 18-hole golf course with leagues and lessons, as well as the community pool, splash fountain and the Brian Bemis Family Dog Park. In addition, the Sycamore Family Sports Center offers go karting, soccer and batting cages and mini-golf and the Sycamore Speedway hosts stock car racing and other events on weekends.
Sycamore’s historic downtown offers quaint sophistication and community events you can enjoy such as Corn Fest August 25-27th in DeKalb and the 62nd Annual Sycamore Pumpkin Fest October 25-29th.
