ESTATE TOWNHOMES IN CHICAGO SUBURBS: ARBOR GLENN SETS THE STANDARD

Arbor Glenn's new townhomes in Schaumburg are estate-size in every way: space, luxury and carefree living.

Worthington Enterprises is building a community of 30 high-end new townhomes off Interstate 90 and Roselle Road in Schaumburg. All showcase beautifully articulated interiors that ideally complement the beautiful Georgian-style brick exteriors.

"Our homes bring forth a new category of townhome living we call Estate Townhomes," said George Caravelli, President of Worthington Enterprises. "These residences combine the size, design and attention to detail of our custom homes, built in a maintenance-free townhome community. They are like no other new Schaumburg townhomes on the market today."

Arbor Glenn has three plans that provide from 2,327 to 2,875 square feet of living space, priced from $494,900 to $576,000. There also are custom layouts with up to 5,000 square feet available.

The Glenwood model, priced from $576,000, provides 2,875 square feet of living space. It has three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an additional 1,148 square feet in the full basement with nine foot ceilings. The two-story entrance is accented by columns defining the entrance to the great room and formal dining room. Hardwood flooring throughout the first floor and a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, recessed can lighting and Whirlpool Gold appliances are standard features. The home also has a breakfast room brightened by a wall of windows and a first-floor office. Upstairs, the master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a sitting area accented by decorative columns. The master bath has a soaking tub with whirlpool jets, separate shower, dual vanities with Corian tops and ceramic tile. The home also has two other bedrooms which share a hall bath. A loft area completes the second floor.

The 2,327-square-foot Newport, priced from $499,000, has three bedrooms plus a loft, 2 1/2 baths, full basement and two-car garage.

It features a dining room open to the home's gourmet kitchen, and buyers have the opportunity to add a fireplace to create a hearth room. The home also has a private courtyard with an optional outdoor fireplace that is accessed through the family room. A two-story entry with an oak staircase leads to the family room featuring a stone fireplace. With hardwood flooring throughout the first floor, the home displays a comfortable atmosphere.

A gourmet kitchen features custom maple cabinets topped with crown molding, Corian counter tops and recessed can lighting. The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art Whirlpool Gold appliances including cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, dishwasher and 22-cubic foot refrigerator. An oversized center island can easily serve as a party buffet. The breakfast room leads out to the private patio.

The upstairs loft overlooks the foyer and private courtyard. Double doors open to a master suite with a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet and a private bath with separate dual vanities with Corian countertops, a soaking tub with whirlpool jets, ceramic tile shower.

The second and third bedrooms are served by the hall bath, while the second-floor laundry room has a sink and cabinets. The home also features a full basement, six-panel, painted, smooth, solid core doors, 3" painted colonial casing and 4" baseboard and crown molding.

The 2,327-square-foot Bel-Aire, priced from $494,500, also is available.

According to Caravelli, the residences at Arbor Glenn also provide buyers the flexibility to alter the floor plan or adapt the space to better meet their needs.

"Our custom experience gives us the knowledge to adapt the plans to meet special requests of the homeowners," he said. "Possibilities include a second-floor family room, an entertainment center, media rooms, butler's pantry, built-in bookcases, a wet bar, screened-in porch, Kitchen Aid appliances, a steam shower, a finished basement and exercise rooms."

A brick and stone monument welcomes visitors to the community that has a masonry privacy wall that screens out the nearby expressway giving Arbor Glenn the feel of a private estate enclave, Caravelli said. The Schaumburg townhome community also will feature landscaping with decorative streetlights and coordinated exterior lighting and mailboxes.
