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.
