FLAHERTY ACCEPTING DEPOSITS
FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOMES AT NEW COMMUNITY IN NEW LENOX
NEW LENOX, IL January 30, 2008 – Jacob’s Field, a new
semi-custom and custom home community by Flaherty
Construction, is now accepting contracts for homes in its
second New Lenox development. This new community with 47
first phase homesites will offer a variety of
never-before-offered ranch and two-story homes that provide
2,200 to 4,000 square feet of customized living space for a
starting price of $379,900. If homebuyers wish to build a
full custom home, Flaherty Builders can accommodate this
wish as well. These luxury homes will be constructed on 1/4
to 1/3-acre homesites that may accommodate look-out
basements. A select few homesites will be available with
views of the sparkling pond. As a result of using advanced
engineering and state-of-the-art materials/equipment,
Flaherty’s new homes will meet New Lenox’s new energy
efficient building codes and bring them a step closer to
going green.
Jacob’s Field is located on the northeast corner of the
Laraway Road and Gougar Road intersection, approximately 2
miles west of Cedar Road. Jacob’s Field’s semi-custom homes
will typically offer three to four bedrooms, 2 ½ baths,
spacious kitchens with food preparation islands, dinette
areas, family rooms, formal dining rooms, master bedroom
suites, basement and attached three-car garages with
upgraded carriage house style garage doors. Standard luxury
features include masonry fireplace, vaulted ceilings (per
plan), high efficiency central air conditioning, 90%
efficient furnaces, granite kitchen counter tops, oak
hardwood flooring, whirlpool tubs and furniture-quality oak
or birch raised panel cabinetry. Baths will consist of
ceramic tile in the tub, shower areas and floors. Flaherty
provides homebuyers with a monetary allowance that can be
used to purchase their own dishwasher, garbage disposal, gas
range and vented microwave hood. As in every Flaherty home,
the exterior is virtually maintenance-free; consisting of
brick or stone first floors, energy efficient clad insulated
casement windows, architectural grade roof shingles,
insulated steel entry doors, aluminum soffit, gutters &
fascia and concrete driveway.
The builder also offers an extensive variety of optional
features including: skylights, Florida rooms and custom
decks. Within Jacob’s Field, 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, Flaherty is eager to do it, because the company
is a second generation, family-owned business that has
decades of homebuilding experience behind it.
All Jacob’s Field homesites include city sewer and Lake
Michigan water and are within the excellent grade school
district of New Lenox and the highly acclaimed Lincoln Way
High School district. In addition, the community is only
minutes from New Lenox, Manhattan or Frankfort, and near
transportation arteries Interstates 80 and 57 and the
recently completed 355 Tollway. Chicago commuters will be
pleased to know that two Metra train stations are at hand as
well.
Reservations on homesites are currently being taken and
buyers interested in receiving information can call (815)
464-2213 or visit Flaherty’s website www.flahertyhomes.com.
The sales center is located at Flaherty’s other
single-family home community, Misty Falls which is located
at the intersection of Owen Road and Laraway Road,
approximately 4 miles east of Jacob’s Field. The decorated
models are open weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekdays
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Over the past 30 years, Flaherty has built hundreds of
custom and semi-custom homes and townhomes throughout the
south suburban area. Flaherty has built its reputation on
excellent construction and design, quality workmanship and
uncompromising service to homebuyers. Flaherty currently has
active communities in New Lenox (Rachel Ridge and Jacob’s
Field), Frankfort (Sutton Dale and Misty Falls), Orland Park
(Deer Haven) and Ruffled Feathers custom single-family homes
in Lemont. They’re also offering a new maintenance-free,
luxury townhome community in Frankfort called The Townhomes
of Abbey Woods.
