SSHBA RECOGNIZES FLAHERTY
BUILDERS’ WESTMINSTER MODEL AT TOWNHOMES OF ABBEY WOODS IN
FRANKFORT
 FRANKFORT,
IL, May 26, 2009 -- Flaherty Builders, a company responsible
for crafting beautiful single-family homes and townhomes
across the Chicagoland area is being recognized by the South
Suburban Home Builders Association (SSHBA) for its stunning
Westminster model at the Townhomes of Abbey Woods in
Frankfort, a 2,390 square-foot ranch home priced at
$498,700. Every month the SSHBA selects a builder’s model
from its peers that represents the high standards expected
from its members. Making this event even more special is
Flaherty Builders “40th” anniversary celebration, which is
giving something back to its customers. In this case it
happens to be money, and lots of it. For homebuyers who wish
to buy a new home in Abbey Woods, Flaherty is reducing the
price of its homes by $50,000.
Representing the SSHBA’s “Home of the Month,” the
Westminster is a perfect example of the lifestyle available
in today’s, stair-free, ranch-style home in a
maintenance-free community. This luxury three-bedroom, 2 1/2
bath home includes a great room with spectacular cathedral
ceiling, and beautiful windows that are placed on either
side of the masonry fireplace. To further enhance the
feeling of luxury in the home, nothing has been spared in
the exquisite kitchen. Very few townhomes or single-family
homes are finished as well as this kitchen. Rich hardwood
cabinetry is topped with classic granite counter tops and a
complete set of commercial style appliances are to be found
here. A range with self-cleaning oven, a quiet operation
dishwasher, a dual door refrigerator and a microwave oven
are conveniently placed around the large food preparation
island that is also a breakfast bar that can accommodate
four stools.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a dinette with arched entryway to
the great room and an expansive patio door that provides
access to the landscaped back yard. For formal entertaining
the home also includes a formal dining room, which is
enhanced architecturally by a cathedral ceiling and a
stunning wet bat, conveniently placed between it and the
great room.
For maximum convenience and privacy the Westminster includes
a first-floor master bedroom suite that occupies the entire
side of the house. Within is a very spacious room that can
accommodate some of the largest bedroom furniture available,
and still have room for additional lounge chairs. An
architecturally attractive ceiling, a virtual wall of
windows overlooking the landscaped backyard and two
oversized closets (one walk-in and the other a dual bi-fold
door arrangement) finish this area, but just beyond is a
luxurious bath room. A relaxing whirlpool tub is set at the
far end and along another entire wall are two granite topped
vanities that look more like fine furniture than traditional
bathroom vanities. Of course a separate shower, ceramic
floor tile and large mirrors help complete the package.
Overnight guests and family members can use the
Westminster’s two other bedrooms, one of which has its own
private full-size bathroom. This extremely well equipped
home with full basement and two-car garage is base priced at
$498,700. For an additional sum, Flaherty Builders is more
than happy to finish the basement as simple or extravagant
as a homeowner wishes.
Abbey Woods’ brick and cut stone clad homes come with many
standard features that most builders consider upgrades. For
example, full basements, wood-burning fireplaces, vaulted
ceilings (per plan), central air-conditioning,
furniture-quality oak or maple cabinets, ceramic tiled baths
(tub and floor), hardwood flooring, granite countertops,
whirlpool tubs are standard features in Flaherty’s townhome
community.
These homes exhibit a lot of design cue's typically found in
Flaherty’s luxury single-family homes. The builder
incorporates nine-foot ceilings on the first level for all
its floor plans and two-story ceilings are found in many
great rooms, foyers, dining rooms and family rooms as well.
In addition to the two-story Glastonbury home, two
sprawling, state of the art ranch plans are also available.
All homes typically include three bedrooms, 2 or 2 1/2
baths, spacious kitchens, breakfast areas, living rooms,
relaxing master-bedroom suites, basements and attached
two-car garages. All townhomes come with fully landscaped
and sprinklered exteriors, which will be maintained by a
homeowners association. The designs range in size from 2,200
to more than 2,800 square feet and are base priced from
$399,900 to $439,900 (prices subject to change).
Abbey Woods townhomes are only minutes from downtown
Frankfort, Mokena or New Lenox and near transportation
arteries Interstates 80 & 57, the new 355 tollway and Route
45. Chicago commuters will be pleased to know that a Metra
train station is less than 3 miles away.
The Townhomes of Abbey Woods is located ¼ mile east of
LaGrange Road on Colorado, a little north of Route 30
(Lincoln Highway). The sales center and decorated model is
