FLAHERTY BUILDERS OPENS NEW
DECLAN MODEL AT MISTY FALLS IN FRANKFORT
FRANKFORT, IL (February 19, 2006) – Flaherty Builders, a
semi-custom homebuilder with 30 plus years of experience in
the luxury home market, is now showcasing its largest
decorated model home at Misty Falls in historic Frankfort.
The decorated two-story home is the first decorated model to
open within the community that offers homesites that are at
least 1/3 of an acre. Custom homes are priced per blueprint
and semi-custom homes with 2,850 to more than 4,000 square
feet of living space are available for $407,900 to $490,900.
One of the most interesting aspects of Misty Falls is that a
limited number of homesites will back up to a beautiful
8-acre lake and a spectacular waterfall.
The decorated Declan model is an elegant two-story home that
comes with multiple exterior elevation choices. Spreading
out over almost 4,000 square feet, this brick home has four
or five bedrooms, 2 ˝ to 3-1/2 bathrooms, separate family,
second floor study, living and dining rooms, basement and
three-car garage. This decorated model also has an optional
concrete patio with full size masonry fireplace, a must see
for prospective homebuyers.
Priced beginning at $490,900, visitors will be drawn into
the home's two-story foyer which leads to the 16' x 13'
living room or an elegant dining room with optional
architectural ceiling and wide expanse of windows. The
living room has large windows topped by decorative transoms
and dual French doors that provide additional access to the
family room at the rear of the home. At the back of the home
are all the rooms necessary for casual entertaining and
day-to-day life. The large 17’ x 17’ family room is warmed
by a wood-burning masonry fireplace and filled with sunlight
from the oversized windows that flank its sides. Next to the
family room is the 13’ x 19’ breakfast room with optional
built-in bar and kitchen with C-shaped food preparation
island. The gourmet kitchen is filled with stunning hardwood
cabinetry and many optional amenities to show off the
builder’s capabilities. For example the kitchen has a
sub-zero refrigerator, built-in stainless steel oven, gas
cook top, built-in microwave oven/hood range, granite
counter tops, and patterned stone flooring.
Finishing out the first level of the Declan is an elegantly
finished powder room and large airy laundry room with
built-in utility tub. Although hardwood flooring is
standard, optional patterned stone flooring is found in the
entry foyer, powder room, breakfast area, laundry room and
kitchen. An additional example of Flaherty’s customization
capabilities is exhibited by the home’s custom oak staircase
and unique hardwood railing supported by wrought iron
spindles.
The centerpiece of the upstairs living quarters is the
elegant master bedroom and bath suite. The 15' x 20' master
bedroom suite features a beautiful volume ceiling (optional)
and an enormous walk-in closet. The master bath is equipped
with his and her vanities, a linen closet, a corner
whirlpool tub and an oversized shower with optional glass
doors. The luxurious whirlpool tub and the floor of the
master bath are finished with ceramic tile. For family
members and guests, the Declan also has three other bedrooms
and two full baths. Two of the 13’ x 12’ bedrooms feature
large closets, large airy windows and access to a shared
full-size bathroom. The fourth bedroom is a private suite
furnished with its own private bathroom and a spacious
walk-in closet. Stretching out over the garage is a bonus
room that can be used as a 5th bedroom, den, WEB surfing
computer room or a great playroom for the kids.
Flaherty Builders takes pride in its ability to offer
homebuyers all the benefits associated with a custom home,
and the cost savings synonymous with traditional production
homebuilders. For example, because of its sales volume
Flaherty can get price discounts from material suppliers,
and by offering eight standard floor plans, Flaherty can
estimate the construction cost to the penny, which makes it
very easy for the builder to alter a floor plan to meet each
homebuyer's lifestyle in a cost effective manner.
Flaherty is also proud to offer a variety of luxury
amenities at no additional cost in each of its finely
crafted homes. For example most homes will include vaulted
ceilings (per plan), oak trim and doors, wood burning
masonry fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, 9-foot first floor
ceiling (per plan), central air conditioning, architectural
grade roof shingles, hardwood flooring and solid surface
counter tops.
Within Misty Falls, Flaherty offers homebuyers the
opportunity to extensively modify any available floor plan.
No alteration is too complex. Homes can be expanded,
additional volume ceilings can be incorporated, and interior
and exterior walls can be relocated. If the homebuyer
desires it, it can be done in Misty Falls. Flaherty is eager
to make these alterations because the company is a second
generation, family-owned business that has decades of
homebuilding experience behind it.
All Misty Falls homesites include sewer and water and are
within the excellent grade school district 157 of Frankfort
and the highly acclaimed Lincoln Way East High School. In
addition, the community is only minutes from downtown
Frankfort, Mokena or New Lenox and near transportation
arteries Interstates 80 & 57 and Route 45. Chicago commuters
will be pleased to know that a Metra train station is less
than 5 miles away. For relaxation a variety of golf courses
and parks are nearby, and two riverboat casinos are at hand.
The sale’s center is located at the intersection of Owen
Road and Laraway Road, approximately 2 miles west of
LaGrange Road (Route 45). The decorated model is open
weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekdays from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. For more information call (815) 464-2213 or visit
