With the grand opening celebration in full
swing at St. John’s Saddle Creek,
the finishing touches have been installed
in the spectacular entryway and common area
landscape, which was designed to seamlessly
compliment the vast open spaces of this
incredibly convenient location. When you
arrive, there is no doubt that this is a
great place to call home.
In conjunction with Saddle Creek’s
grand opening celebration, homebuyers can
take advantage of an excellent money-saving
opportunity thanks to the Olthof Homes Sizzlin’
Summer Spectacular Promotion which offers
up to $25,000 in free options, upgrades
and homesite premiums on currently available
Ready To Move In homes. The promotion runs
through the end of June and applies to all
Ready To Move In Olthof homes that close
before September 1, 2006.
Strategically nestled between US 41 &
Calumet Avenue, with easy access to some
of northwest Indiana’s finest amenities
as well as Chicago and the south suburbs
via I-394, Saddle Creek is a community of
single-family homes and maintenance-free
villas designed to offer residents a peaceful
retreat while at home.
Featuring a central family playground where
children can frolic while their parents
mingle on nearby benches, Saddle Creek was
designed to afford residents the opportunity
to enjoy its beautiful natural landscape
with scenic walking trails, winding bike
trails, picturesque ponds and an open green
space with inviting gazebo and picnic tables.
Saddle Creek is truly a unique gem in the
Olthof portfolio, according to Carmen Ware,
sales manager.
“This community is truly unique, offering
homebuyers the option of single-family homes
on spacious single-family home sites that
start at 1/3 of an acre or maintenance-free
villas that include association services
for routine work including lawn care and
snow removal,” she said. “Since
our sales center has been up and running
over the last couple months, we’ve
had a tremendous response from buyers who
are extremely impressed with this location
and all of the planned amenities.”
All total, there are 5 single-family home
floor plans to choose from at Saddle Creek.
Starting in the $250,000’s through
the mid-$300,000’s with luxury options,
such as fireplaces, deluxe kitchens, built-in
entertainment centers, sunrooms, decks and
3-car garages. They include 2-stories, 1
_-stories and sprawling ranches with 3-5
bedrooms and 2-2 _ bathrooms ranging from
2,100 to 3,000 square feet.
The villas at Saddle Creek start just under
$200,000 and range through the upper $200,000’s
with luxury options offering four 2-3 bedroom
floor plans with 1,455-1,670 square feet
of living space.
All of the homes at Saddle Creek include
the signature standard features that are
built into every Olthof home, including
thoughtfully-designed open floor plans,
convenient main-floor laundry rooms, luxurious
master bedroom suites, dramatic architectural
columns and plenty of comforting natural
light flowing through ample windows with
mullions. In addition, there are dozens
of interior and exterior custom finish options
to meet the needs of individual home owners
that ultimately give each home a truly unique
feel.
These range from exterior color options,
landscape options and outdoor living areas
to light fixtures and fans, electrical,
heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
garages, interior trim and doors, cabinetry,
kitchen countertops, sinks and faucets,
bathroom faucets, tubs, showers, shower
doors, commodes and mirrors, painting, flooring
and appliances.
For example, there are 22 possibilities
of exterior looks, with each floor plan
having several options, all of which can
be viewed onsite at Saddle Creek using a
state-of-the-art, touch-screen computer
system.
‘The touch-screen computer is a great
new tool that allows us to actually demonstrate
how a customer’s specific preferences
will look,” Ware said. “It truly
brings the home to life each time an exterior
option is considered, from siding or cedar
color to shutters and brick or stone selections.”
Once a customer has purchased their Olthof
home, they can spend as much time as needed
viewing additional options at the Olthof
Homes Design Center, located on Route 41
in St. John, across from Lake Central High
School. Staffed with knowledgeable designers
who guide buyers step-by-step through the
selection process, the center showcases
samples of the products used throughout
the building process.
