Developer finds the little things add to the big picture
Often, the smallest details make the biggest impact. That sentiment especially holds true in the home’s architecture, where the slightest features can make a world of difference in the home’s appeal and value. Here’s a look at one Chicago-area developer who builds and designs with the details in mind.
Developer finds the little things add to the big picture
Often, the smallest details make the biggest impact. That sentiment especially holds true in the home’s architecture, where the slightest features can make a world of difference in the home’s appeal and value. Here’s a look at one Chicago-area developer who builds and designs with the details in mind.
At Willow Place, a community of 58 townhomes in Wheeling, developer Lexington Homes has pulled out all the stops with its included details to bring architectural interest and maximum efficiency throughout its homes.
For example, in the Chestnut floor plan, the living room is adorned with a built-in window seat for additional seating while multiple arched entryways and brushed nickel lighting fixtures are used throughout the home to create an upscale ambiance. The builder even went the extra mile with the home’s rear balcony and lower level windows. Not only is the balcony almost twice the size as most townhomes, which makes outdoor entertaining easier, but the windows in the home’s finished lower level are also oversized to bring more light into the space and make it more multifunctional.
“We’ve received a lot of interest from younger homebuyers who are extremely educated about the buying process and understand how these finer touches add value to their home,” said Jeff Benach, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Lexington Homes. “They are always so appreciative that they don’t have to sacrifice price for such high-level workmanship.”
Willow Place features two three-level floor plans with three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. All homes include a rear-loading two-car garage, private balcony and GE stainless steel appliances. Homes are base-priced from $349,900 to $399,900 and measure 1,789 to 2,012 square feet.
