Orleans offering luxury and space
Today's active families desire plentiful spaces to accommodate a variety of interests and needs. Orleans Homebuilders, a national company that is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, offers exceptional home designs that combine architectural grandeur with abundant space and practicality.
"Today, there is a definite trend toward relaxing and entertaining at home, and many families want a variety of private specialty rooms for home offices, home theaters, study, music, exercise and other interests. The home designs we've recently introduced balance the desire of families for both gathering spaces and special uses," said Brian Fink, vice president of sales.
The Garrett, one of three model homes on display at River Hills in Bolingbrook, includes several retreat areas that can be used for a family's individual needs. The 3,795-square-foot home boasts large, dramatic formal and informal living spaces enhanced by a first-floor den, second-floor loft/family room, master suite sitting room, full basement and optional grand morning room. The Garrett is priced from $489,990.
The Garrett is among the executive homes at River Hills which include a ranch and two-story designs, ranging in size from 3,245 to 3,888 square feet with four bedrooms and first-floor studies; 2½ to four baths; full basements; and two- or three-car attached garages. Prices start in the $460,000s.
The homes include full basements with nine-foot high walls; nine-foot first-floor ceilings; first-floor dens in all plans; hardwood or ceramic tile in kitchens, foyers and powder rooms; oak railings; kitchens appointed with islands, 36-inch upper cabinets and glacier white Corian countertops; ceramic tile flooring and surrounds in all baths; three-car garages in all homes; four elegant exterior choices for each home; and fully sodded home sites with landscape plantings at the fronts.
"In addition, Fieldstone at River Hills, a sister community, offers a new selection of homes that are spacious and affordable while featuring Orleans signature dramatic designs. Prices start in the mid-$300,000s, and two model homes are open for viewing," Fink said.
