| Exceptional Pre-Construction Values during Rockwell's Grand Closeout
|
Rockwell, Dyer
Just 3 years ago, Olthof Homes celebrated the grand opening of an idyllic Dyer community featuring a resort-style setting and maintenance-free living. Today, they are announcing the Grand Closeout at Rockwell.
“We’ve sold just over 300 homes in Rockwell to date,” Carmen Ware, Olthof Homes sales manager, said. “That’s an incredible pace of 100 sales per year!”
Uniquely situated in a peaceful corner of Dyer that borders a serene 40-acre nature preserve, with the towns of Schererville and St. John just minutes away, Rockwell gives you the ultimate environment to relax and enjoy life. Combining the desirable amenities of a maintenance-free community with a luxurious resort-style atmosphere, new construction pricing in Rockwell starts in the $140s for townhomes and the $190s for ranch paired cottage homes. The single-family villas in Rockwell are now sold out.
Residents of Rockwell enjoy the option of walking to a distinct group of brand new eateries, retail specialty stores and service providers located in Dyer’s vibrant Calumet Avenue-Route 30 corridor, where plans call for the addition of even more neighborhood-friendly shops and services. The convenience of having a state-of-the-art Jewel/Osco next door is already especially appreciated, as well as the community’s easy access to the area’s main arteries, US 30 and Route 41 through Olthof’s neighboring single family communities, Silverleaf and Hearthstone.
Designed to meet the needs of today’s active lifestyle, Rockwell features two-story town homes that are great entry-level properties and paired-cottage homes that work well for people who want to live in great homes without the hassles of routine maintenance. Time-consuming tasks such as mowing the grass, trimming bushes and shoveling snow are all taken care of, plus all Rockwell homes have underground sprinkler systems ready to go whenever necessary, according to Ware.
The state-of-the-art, full clubhouse, with social rooms, a kitchen, fitness center and outdoor pool, is for the use of residents only and another huge benefit of Rockwell.
“Living in a maintenance-free community affords Rockwell residents the opportunity to enjoy resort-style amenities like the exercise room which is equipped with cardio, universal and free weight equipment plus satellite TV, pool with sun deck, social clubs and luncheons,” she said. “As a company Olthof Homes is dedicated to promoting community spirit. What we do is lay the ground work for some initial activities that encourage people to get together. At Rockwell, the homeowners have been especially proactive in taking advantage of the resort-style atmosphere to host a variety of ongoing events.”
Offering buyers a variety of floor plans and exterior features, the remaining new construction opportunities at Rockwell include ranch paired cottage homes with 2-3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2-car garages ranging between 1,871-2,064 square feet and 2-story townhomes with 2 bedrooms, 1 ? baths and 1-car garage with 1,264 square feet.
All Rockwell homes include many of the luxury options that set Olthof Homes apart as a builder, according to Ware. Large windows that let in plenty of light, open concept design to maximize space, 9-foot ceilings on all first floors, and colonist doors and trim work are just a few key highlights. You’ll also benefit from Olthof’s well-established system to meet your needs throughout the warranty period. The Olthof Homes’ Customer Care program provides rapid and organized service for all warranty issues.
If the combination of Rockwell’s spectacular location, resort-style setting and easy living appeals to you, now is definitely the time to visit the Information Center located inside the clubhouse. In addition to learning about the remaining opportunities for building your new ranch paired cottage home or townhome during Rockwell’s Grand Closeout, you can also find out about Olthof’s On the Move Program that will help you sell your current home if necessary.
“We have found that because people don’t buy a new home everyday, they really don’t know what to expect, especially when it comes to selling their existing home,” Ware said. “With the introduction of our On the Move program, we want to help guarantee a smooth transition into the brand new Olthof home of their choice.”
Essentially, the On the Move Program offers you a proven team of professionals in the areas of pricing, staging, marketing and home inspection n all at no cost to you. Beginning with a Market Value Appraisal by a licensed appraiser, you will also receive a free Home Inspection by a licensed home inspector to identify any outstanding issues that may need attention before a potential buyer can close on your home. Providing this step early in the process is especially helpful to sellers since they usually don’t have the findings from an inspection in hand until a contract is in play, according to Ware.
Olthof will also bring a licensed Realtor® on board, or work closely with your Realtor®, to advise you in the marketing of your home, suggest cosmetic improvements and potential home staging ideas, as well as provide a Seller’s Net Sheet so you are aware of the likely amount of money to net out from the sale of your home.
For more information on the Grand Closeout values now available in Rockwell, contact the Information Center at 322-1199, visit the community clubhouse Monday - Thursday from 11am - 6pm, Friday 11am - 5pm and Saturday 10am - 5pm or log on to HYPERLINK "http://www.olthofhomes.com" www.olthofhomes.com.
