Growing families who want more space and amenities will find spacious homes with a variety of family-friendly features at Herrington Estates in Bolingbrook.
Located in the convenient Weber Road corridor, the Kirk Homes development offers six floor plans, one with a first-floor master suite, with three and four bedrooms, 2½ to four baths, lofts and first-floor dens. Outfitted with full basements and flexible space, homes are ready to accommodate families of all sizes.
"We've included the amenities that families are looking for and created home environments that are ideal for every member of the family," said Janey Amidei, vice president of sales and marketing for Kirk Homes. "These homes have architectural drama, plenty of flexible space for special interests, generous bedroom sizes and deluxe informal living areas."

The decor is transitional with a lot of texture and a palette of teal, rich camels and linen with chocolate accents.
In the welcoming two-story foyer, an elegant staircase separates the living room and dining room. Decorative columns define the living room, which features a teal accent wall. A bay window adds light and space to the dining room, where a table is set for eight.
In the kitchen, wood cabinetry complements stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, while a walk-in pantry, built-in beverage center and island with cooktop add convenience. The breakfast area with sliding glass door is perfect for casual family meals.
The two-story extended family room will be a natural gathering spot for the whole family. There is plenty of seating, a direct vent fireplace with window and entertainment center and a towering wall of windows behind the sofa. A piano is in the corner near the fireplace.
Built-in cabinets and a whole wall of cantilevered shelving gives books and personal treasures special attention in the room. This also gives buyers an idea of what one can do with a large, two-story wall space.
French doors open to the den, which has a built-in desk and bookshelves. With a walk-in closet and nearby bath, the room easily converts to guest quarters.
A double-door entry and cathedral ceiling add luxury to the master suite that includes a huge walk-in closet and lounge area. The luxurious bath includes a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower.

The two-story foyer offers an extended entry into the home, while a credenza and mirror add luxury.
Featuring a traditional décor with neutrals and black and white, the living room has a bay window, beige sofa with matching end tables and lamps and black and beige draperies. The bayed dining room provides an elegant setting for formal meals with a black table topped with white candle display.
Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a center island with cooktop highlight the kitchen. A built-in wine rack, butler's pantry and huge walk-in pantry provide more amenities. The breakfast table is a nice spot for casual family meals.
In the two-story extended family room, each family member has plenty of space to call his own. A chess game is in process. There's a comfortable chair in the corner, a sofa with ottoman and two chairs on either side of the fireplace. A black-and-white photography display is eye-catching.
French doors open to the den, which has a wall of built-ins and desk that is outfitted for a poker game.
A deep tray ceiling adds drama to the master suite that includes a wall of windows with built-in shelves on either side and a love seat and entertainment center. A walk-in and reach-in closet provides ample space for the owners.
