Two Sunset Ridge Estates home pack knockout punch
KLM Builders is preparing to deliver a strong one-two punch designed to knock buyers off their feet at Sunset Ridge Estates in Richmond -- where two new fully furnished single-family home models are under construction and expected to open by the end of the year.
The first new model, The Jefferson, based priced from $279,900, features traditional decor and three bedrooms, 2½ baths and a two-car garage.
This 2,088-square-foot residence reveals an expanded family room with a fireplace and marble surround, a two-story foyer, a full basement, formal living and dining rooms, an island kitchen with raised panel cabinets, and pre-finished oak flooring.
Outside highlights include a brick and siding exterior with cedar trim, decorative corbels, a front porch with pillars and a fully landscaped, one-third-acre home site.
Meanwhile, The Franklin model home, base priced from $319,900, will boast a more casual Arts & Crafts theme and offers four bedrooms, 3½ baths and a three-car garage.
Spanning 2,795 square feet, this two-story model provides a first-floor guest suite, two-story foyer and formal living and dining rooms. The gourmet kitchen opens up to a two-story family room with a stone fireplace.
Upstairs, the master bedroom suite is served by a deluxe bath featuring a Whirlpool tub, dual vanities and separate shower.
Other notables include a front porch with pillars, decorative corbels, stone and siding exterior with cedar accents, architectural roof shingles, and an attractively landscaped one-third-acre home site.
With six models to choose from, each home features three to five bedrooms, two to four baths, two to three-car garage, full basement, and city sewer and water.
Popular options are screened porches, Whirlpool tubs, granite countertops and finished basement space.
All home sites range from one quarter to one full acre in size, with many that are wooded or that back up to scenic ponds or open spaces. Sites with walkout and daylight basements are available, as well.
Base prices currently range from $272,900 to the low $430,000s (including standard home site) for homes ranging in size from 1,621 to 3,490 square feet and that include a 10-year structural warranty.
Sunset Ridge Estates is situated near walking and biking paths, Chain O' Lakes State Park, and in short driving distance of a Metra train station.
Children attend Nippersink District 2 schools.
