Des Plaines Art Guild Group Art Show at Frisbie Senior Center

Taylor Morrison, a leading national homebuilder and developer, has announced plans for Colfax Crossing, a community of 101 maintenance-free townhomes off Western Avenue just minutes from shopping, restaurants and Metra train service in downtown in Des Plaines.

"We are very excited to introduce our award-winning townhome designs at Colfax Crossing," said Bob Meyn, vice president of sales and marketing for the Chicago Division of Taylor Morrison. "Des Plaines is a vibrant community, offering a lifestyle that appeals to busy professionals with its shops, restaurants and convenient commuter access. These career oriented buyers want the luxury living space and a maintenance-free lifestyle that we're offering at Colfax Crossing."

The courtyard-style neighborhood will feature winding sidewalks and small parks with benches with townhomes ranging from 1,726 to 1,824 square feet. Priced from the upper-$200,000s, these homes will include three bedrooms, 2 ½ baths and attached two-car garages. The greystone-inspired designs feature three-level living, with the main-floor showcasing a spacious great room, open kitchen with dining area, balcony and powder room. Upstairs, the owner's suite includes a large walk-in closet with private luxury bath. Two additional bedrooms are served by a hall bath or buyers may choose a second suite with private bath in lieu of the third bedroom. The lower level of the home provides access from the garage was well as a large bonus room, laundry room and storage closet. Construction will begin after the first of the year and two professionally decorated model homes will be open for touring in early spring.

Quality features included in all the townhomes are nine-foot main-floor ceilings, two-panel interior doors, hardwood floors in the foyer and wall-to-wall carpeting in living areas. Kitchens feature GE appliances, a stainless-steel sink, dining area and a spacious pantry. Baths include designer vanities with cultured marble tops and powder rooms have pedestal sinks.
