Uniqueness of Victoria Park touted
Designed to be different than the large active-adult communities, Victoria Park in North suburban Libertyville features 52 maintenance-free townhouses in an enclave with a clubhouse and a lifestyle that appeals to those 55 and older.
Residential Homes of America Inc. offers three townhouse models at Victoria Park in ranch and two-story designs, priced from $349,990. The community is more than 50 percent sold. Decorated and furnished models of two plans are open for tours every day.
"Victoria Park is not your typical active adult community," says Ann Danner, president and owner of Residential Homes of America. "At Victoria Park, we have ranch and two-story townhouses, with first-floor and upstairs master suites."
There are three floor plans available at Victoria Park, each with the look and feel of a single-family home, with features buyers have become accustomed to.
One of the two-story homes is the Ansel Cook, a 2,172-square-foot layout with two bedrooms, a den, 2½ baths, full basement and two-car garage.
The other two-story model is the Vardins Grove, a 2,155-square-foot home with a first-floor master suite, second bedroom upstairs, 2½ baths, a second-floor den, loft with storage room, full basement and two-car garage.
The ranch plan is the Liberty, measuring 1,768 square feet with two bedrooms, two full baths, a flexible den or sunroom, full basement and two-car garage. The homes start at $349,990.
