FLAHERTY BUILDERS OFFERS ABUNDANT HOUSING CHOICES AND LOCATIONS

MOKENA, IL February 14, 2005 – The year 2005 is turning into a year of choices for Flaherty Construction’ customers. Presently, the second-generation builder is offering luxury single-family homes in four different locations and high-end, maintenance-free townhomes in another. All of Flaherty’s communities are located in different sections of Frankfort, but before the end of the year, the builder will also open additional luxury single-family home communities in New Lenox and Orland Park. Depending on the location, single-family homes can start at $386,000 and top out near $850,000, while townhomes are pre-construction priced from $449,900 to $489,900.

Flaherty’s most exclusive community is Ashington Meadows, an executive-style custom home community that will include 35 upscale single-family homes. High-end custom homes by Flaherty are priced from $500,000 to $800,000 and provide 3,900 to 4,600 plus square feet of luxury filled living space. Designed as an exclusive enclave with a variety of ranch and two-story floor plans, each home will include unique interior and exterior architectural details and several will offer first-floor master bedroom suites. Architectural drama will be found in each and every home. Stately two-story foyers with stunning chandeliers and imported flooring abound, first floor and second level master bedroom suites are glamorous, vaulted and volume ceilings show up in family rooms, great rooms and master bedrooms suites, and numerous fireplaces with stunning hearths and hardwood mantels are expected in each and every Ashington Meadows home. Interior features will often include a custom millwork package, oversize crown molding, hardwood flooring, Granite counter tops, imported limestone and marble, built-in bookcases, an intercom/security system and whole-house entertainment systems. Additional quality construction features typically include central vacuum system, whirlpool tubs or jet spray showers, recessed can lighting and many will have walkout or window basements.

For those looking for a beautiful single family home, but in a slightly less exclusive environment, Flaherty also offers three outstanding communities: Cardinal Lake, Suttondale and Misty Falls. All of these communities offer a wide selection of ranch and two-story floor plans that range in size from 2,700 to 4,000 square feet of customizable living space. The builder will also design/build a home from scratch or build a home from your own set of approved blueprints. Priced from $386,900 to $550,900, each Flaherty home can be constructed to incorporate all of the amenities expected in homes of this price range. Hardwood floors, crown molding in formal dining rooms, granite countertops in the large gourmet kitchens, beautiful family rooms with custom masonry fireplaces, and luxurious master bedroom suites with soaking tubs or whirlpools are just some of the features available in the homes. Flaherty’s beautiful homes will typically feature vaulted ceilings, three to four bedrooms, 2 ˝ baths, living room, formal dining room, family room, professionally designed kitchen, breakfast area, basement and an optional 2 ˝- to 3--car garage. 

Families seeking the amenities found in high-end single-family homes, yet desire a maintenance-free lifestyle should visit the Townhomes of Abbey Woods. Homeowners will have two distinctive ranch plans and two spacious two-story homes (some with a first floor master bedroom suite) to choose from. The brick homes will provide 2,200 to 2,800 square feet of living space. Equipped with hardwood or ceramic flooring, granite counter tops, vaulted ceilings, full basements, masonry fireplaces, central air conditioning and much more, homes are pre-construction priced from $449,900 to $489,900.

Buyers can also expect to find private entrances to each home, volume ceilings in living room/dining room (per plan), a soaker tub in master bath and an attached two-car garage with electric garage door opener. Some models also include a loft. 

These homes also feature hardwood or ceramic flooring and central air conditioning. For comfort and efficiency all townhomes have 75-gallon gas-fired hot water heaters and a fully landscaped homesite with underground sprinklers.
