Wheeling townhouse community situated near Restaurant Row
For those who prefer the finer things in life, Millbrook Pointe features 60 luxury residences arranged in small clusters of two-story townhouses and three-story row houses along two interconnected private streets.
Constructed by Northfield Group Ltd., the Wheeling community presents attractive brick and stone exteriors with well-defined entrances, gabled roofs and articulate facades. Outdoor enhancements include pedestrian-friendly walkways that crisscross the community, fountains and a central gazebo.
"This is a great development of quality construction in a convenient location with great amenities," said Gary Levitas, president of Northfield Group. "With our discounted prices, it's better to buy new construction rather than a foreclosure or short sale that may later present problems."
Millbrook Pointe offers four distinctive floor plans with three to four bedrooms, first-floor master option, octagonal rooms, terraces and balconies. All homes have a finished basement and two-car garage with ample drive parking for guests.
Situated in Wheeling's fastest growing corridor, the community sits steps away from The Westin Chicago North Shore and near the historic Chevy Chase Country Club and Golf Course and Wheeling's well-known Restaurant Row.
The community recently held its grand opening and unveiled a new townhouse model for visitors to tour. The Harmony features 2,730 square feet, three bedrooms, 31/2 baths, separate living room, two-story great room and private outdoor deck. The plan offers a first-floor master option.
This home showcases a sophisticated traditional interior with fine furnishings and fabrics, hardwood flooring and a dark chocolate and teal palette.
The octagonal living room with Juliette balcony and deep vaulted ceiling is a wow feature of this home. Silk draperies dress the windows while furnishings include two chairs, dark wood credenza and coffee table. An area rug finishes off the room.
Arched openings to the dining room and kitchen add character to the home. Elegance reigns in the dining room where a beautiful mahogany table is set with fine china and crystal. A long rectangular mirror adorns the wall and gives the room a spacious feeling while a china cabinet occupies a corner spot.
The showpiece kitchen features designer cherry cabinetry with 42-inch upper cabinets topped with granite, stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar. With this well-equipped and beautiful kitchen, owners will enjoy cooking and gathering with family and friends here and in the adjoining family room.
The two-story family room features a dark chocolate leather sofa and love seat topped with teal and copper pillows. Furniture is arranged around the fireplace with marble tile hearth and surround flanked by credenzas and windows. Accessories include family photos, candles and contemporary artwork. A multicolored area rug adds color and texture while a door leads to the outside deck.
The first floor also includes a half bath, mud room and laundry room.
Upstairs, a small loft with natural light serves as a reading area and is furnished with a comfortable chair. A bridge overlooks the great room below.
Topped with a volume ceiling, the master bedroom features a chocolate and teal spread, teal draperies, vanity, walk-in closet and private balcony. The private bath has European-height vanity with dual sinks, large walk-in shower with seat and tub, each with marble surround.
