Take advantage of super savings on a new home for '07
To ring in the New Year, Olthof Homes kicked off its Bells and Whistles Upgrade Extravaganza, offering up to $5,000 off of options, upgrades and home site premiums. Plus, Olthof has unveiled some great deals on Ready To Move In Homes, with two of the best buys in Grouse Pointe, which features the Olthof Estate Collection of single-family homes.
Located on Blaine Street just east of Cline Avenue, Grouse Pointe is dramatically separated from the conveniences of modern life by a 15-acre nature preserve so it's easy to forget you are minutes away from some the area's most traveled interchanges, U.S. 41 and Ill. 394. With plans for 101 single-family homes, this developing community also features a calming pond accented by a striking fountain, as well as a spacious park and playground area.
"Through the end of January, buyers can take advantage of our Bells and Whistles Upgrade Extravaganza, and we definitely have some fantastic opportunities in Grouse Pointe,'' said Carmen Ware, Olthof Homes sales manager. "We've really had a great response to the fact that this development in particular offers such a convenient location, while still providing residents with the secluded neighborhood ambience they desire.''
Featuring generous home sites that average 80-feet-by-150 feet, with premium locations that include larger cul-de-sac and corner sites, plus a few with the opportunity to add lookout basements, Grouse Pointe can accommodate a vast range of buyers. From the incredible Manchester, which is a full two-story with basement that starts at $256,503, to the Executive, which when fully appointed with luxury options and upgrades can reach the $360,000s, the five available floor plans range in size from 2,100 to 3,000 square feet, have three to five bedrooms and include ranch, 1.5-story and two-story options.
Especially in Grouse Pointe, Ware said Olthof has found its two plans offering a fifth bedroom option have proved to be popular because there are just a few five-bedroom homes in this price range currently for sale in the Lake Central School Corp. district, which includes Dyer, Schererville and St. John.
"While Grouse Pointe residents will have a Crown Point mailing address, their children will attend the award-winning Lake Central schools,'' she said. "Many of our buyers are looking forward to the opening of the brand new Clark Middle School this fall, which is just minutes away on 93rd.''
In fact, one of the Ready To Move In Homes features an upper level bonus room available for use as a fifth bedroom. The Providence floor plan, which has 2,615 square feet of living space, is a 1.5-story on a full basement with four bedrooms, plus the bonus room. This luxuriously appointed home also includes 2.5 baths, main floor laundry room, sun room, maple cabinets, Hi-Macs kitchen countertops, ceramic throughout, GE appliances, egress window, rough plumbing in basement, full yard sod with landscaping and sprinkler system and a three-car garage. This spectacular home can be purchased by the end of the month for the super savings price of $332,601.
There also is a fabulous ranch Ready To Move In Home at Grouse Pointe. The Huntley floor plan, which has 2,220 square feet of living space also on a full basement, features three spacious bedrooms, two full baths, maple cabinetry, Hi-Macs countertops, tray ceilings in the master bedroom and dining room, deluxe master bath and kitchen with built-in GE dishwasher and microwave, rough plumbing in basement, full yard sod with deluxe landscaping and sprinkler system and a three-car garage. The super savings price on this home is $285,327 through January.
In addition to Ready To Move In Homes, there are models of all five floor plans at the entrance to Grouse Point, with each one showcasing a different combination of standard features and luxury upgrades to demonstrate the broadest possible array of options available in Olthof's Estate Collection of single-family homes.
When you walk in to each model, it is amazing how different each plan is. While there are a number of signature similarities in each home, including convenient main-floor laundry rooms, architectural columns and plenty of natural light flowing through the ample windows with mullions, each model has a number of unique details that make it a truly individual home.
As with all Olthof Homes, the list of standard features for Grouse Point's single-family homes is extensive. For buyers who desire additional options and upgrades, they have the opportunity to visit Olthof Home's Design Center.
"We're very excited about our Design Center, which features full displays of the many options available,'' Ware said "While our models include a nice range of choices, there are even more at the design center. It really helps to see what all of the options look like.''
Since 1961, Olthof Homes has built thousands of homes in communities throughout Northeast Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Its hallmark is designing a wide selection of homes in ideal locations with unique settings, appealing exteriors and open floor plans. These strengths have made them a leader in the local home building market.
While Olthof has earned a reputation for developing outstanding maintenance-free environments, single-family communities such as Grouse Pointe bring the value of the product, along with the strengths of Olthof's outstanding home warranty and customer care department, to another market.
