Model profile: Chickory III at Norton Lake
The Chickory III model home wows visitors with its quiet interior that reflects the calm and serenity of the lake in the Norton Lake subdivision of Campton Hills.
The Shodeen Homes model will be showcased in the Northern Illinois Homebuilders Cavalcade of Homes Sept. 7-17.
"We are thrilled with the Chickory III model and excited to have prospective buyers tour the home and see the quality construction, detailed craftsmanship and exceptional features that are included in every Shodeen home," said Anna Harmon, director of marketing and public relations for the builder.
Norton Lake offers a collection of ranch and two-story designs with three or four bedrooms, two to 3½ baths, basements and a two- or three-car garage.
The model features interior design by Gayle Todd of Franklin and Kent Designs LTD in Glen Ellyn. The popular greige color palette with warm, muted colors and natural woods reign throughout the home, and patterns, textures and faux furs add interest.
The two-story Chickory is base priced from $440,757 and features 2,863 square feet, four bedrooms, 3½ baths, lookout basement and three-car, side-load garage.
A charming covered front porch welcomes you to this open design with an immediate sense of spaciousness.
Off the entry, a study with French doors offers privacy and a perfect work-from-home space. On the opposite side, a formal dining room with large wood table is topped with a candle display.
Rich hardwood plank flooring flows through the main floor and leads to the casual living areas to the rear of the home.
Light and bright, the showpiece kitchen features a center island, white glazed cabinetry with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A ceramic backsplash brings a custom touch.
A round wooden table sits in the breakfast nook that overlooks the lake and accesses the deck.
The family room features a marble fireplace flanked by windows with a plasma TV above. A sofa, love seat and two chairs provide plenty of seating.
With a stunning, deep tray ceiling, the master bedroom is an oasis of calm with his-and-hers walk-in closets, dressing area and private luxury bath with double-bowl vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. A second-floor laundry adds convenience.
Secondary bedrooms include a guest room with private full bath, a nursery done in gray tones with a fun safari theme, and a room designed for a middle-school girl with white furnishings and pink, gold, cream and metallic tones. The two children's rooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath.
Norton Lake sits west of Randall Road just off Route 64 in the village of Campton Hills. Shopping and dining abounds on Randall Road, in the Geneva Commons Mall and in downtown St. Charles and Geneva.
