New plan debuts at Forest View
Krolo Custom Homes introduces the Walnut floor plan at Forest View in Bartlett.
Forest View is a community of eight lots on a cul de sac within walking distance of downtown Bartlett and the Metra station and is adjacent to 164 wooded acres of DuPage County forest preserve.
Among the features of the 4,000-square-foot Walnut is a nearly 200-square-foot library, separated from the family room by a three-sided fireplace. The dinette is set in a turret with access to the wrap-around front and side porch. An office is at the front of the home.
"Custom home buyers tend to be successful entrepreneurs or senior-level executives," says Tom Krolikowski, founder and president. "A home office is essential and, near the front of the home, it allows business to be conducted without invading family space."
The library, open to the family room, also is thoughtfully placed.
The family room features an 11-foot ceiling, French doors lead to the formal dining room.
The kitchen has granite counters, a double wall-oven and cook top, triple sink, island and breakfast bar.
The three-car garage leads to a laundry with wood cabinets and an abundance of counter space. A full bath is off the library.
Upstairs, the sky-lit game loft is large enough for a pool table and electronic game center.
The second story of the turret houses a master suite sitting area surrounded by windows with a forest view, a fireplace and built-in bookshelves.
The suite also includes a bedroom and walk-in closet. The master bath features a whirlpool tub resting in a bay window, a walk-in shower with dual-heads and body sprays, a granite-top dual vanity, a separate room for the water closet, and a vaulted ceiling with skylight.
Three additional bedrooms, each with a tray or vaulted ceiling, and a hall bath with a granite dual-vanity and private tub and water closet comprise the rest of the second floor.
The Walnut is planned for completion this summer, and priced in the upper $900,000s. Currently, a renovated, 3,500-square-foot 1940s home with two wood-burning fireplaces, an office and an in-ground swimming pool is available. The remaining six lots range from one-half acre to nearly three-quarter acre.
Forest View is located in Bartlett, south of Devon Avenue one-half mile west of South Bartlett Road. For information, visit www.kroloconstruction.com or call (630) 291-7573.
