Luxury Townhomes in New Lenox Pre-Construction Sales<br />
Distinctive Homebuilders debuts SkyHarbor Townhomes from the $300s<br />
Sales have commenced on<br />
luxury townhomes in a prime<br />
location in New Lenox at<br />
Laraway and Schoolhouse/<br />
Lincolnway Roads. Known<br />
as SkyHarbor Townhomes,<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
is meeting the need for<br />
townhomes in an area where<br />
they have not been built in a<br />
long time.<br />
“We are excited to bring<br />
these fresh, new architecturally<br />
refined townhome designs to<br />
New Lenox. Now residents<br />
can stay put in town when they<br />
downsize from a large home to<br />
a maintenance free lifestyle,”<br />
said Bryan Nooner, president<br />
of Distinctive Home Builders.<br />
“We discovered that many<br />
area single-family residents<br />
have parents seeking an<br />
independent, carefree lifestyle,<br />
who want to live in close<br />
proximity to their children<br />
and grandchildren. These<br />
buyers tend to spend a couple<br />
months of the year in warmer<br />
climates and don’t want to<br />
be concerned with home<br />
upkeep while they are away.<br />
At SkyHarbor Townhomes a<br />
homeowner’s association takes<br />
care of lawn maintenance and<br />
snow removal for residents.<br />
Additionally, SkyHarbor is<br />
a good fit for many young<br />
families as well. Just a few<br />
minutes from several commuter<br />
train stations and major<br />
highways, the location of<br />
this property makes it easy to<br />
commute to work. The idea of<br />
living in a community with a<br />
maintenance free lifestyle gives<br />
today’s buyer the freedom to<br />
travel and recreate without the<br />
time burden of home upkeep.<br />
SkyHarbor Townhomes is<br />
a small enclave community<br />
with an on-site lake and is<br />
adjacent to single family<br />
homes. Townhomes range in<br />
size from two to four bedrooms<br />
with 1,800 to 2,600 square feet<br />
of living space in three and<br />
four-unit buildings. All homes<br />
include a full basement and<br />
luxury appointments such<br />
as granite counter tops and<br />
custom maple cabinets.<br />
SkyHarbor Townhome<br />
exteriors are architecturally<br />
refined and feature Craftsman<br />
style designs in brick and<br />
stone construction on the<br />
first floor. Tapered columns,<br />
stone accents, bracketing<br />
on gables and bracket detail<br />
on garage doors are some<br />
of the thoughtful features<br />
Distinctive Home Builders has<br />
incorporated into the design.<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
has built thousands of singlefamily<br />
homes throughout<br />
the South and Southwest<br />
suburbs over the past 30 years,<br />
and is dedicated to giving<br />
its customers the best home<br />
buying experience.<br />
Top-notch home creation<br />
with zero punch list items is an<br />
expectation Distinctive delivers<br />
to its homeowners. The builder<br />
performs numerous quality<br />
control checks throughout the<br />
building process and adheres<br />
to a nearly 1,500-point formal<br />
checklist that project managers<br />
certify. Before closing, each<br />
home undergoes an industryleading<br />
checklist that ensures<br />
each home measures up to the<br />
firm’s high quality standards.<br />
“Having measurable, identifiable<br />
standards that our<br />
craftsmen are expected to<br />

Home to our homeowners,”<br />
Nooner said.<br />
Communication is key to<br />
maintaining an overall positive<br />
experience during the construction<br />
process. Therefore,<br />
all Distinctive customers have<br />
the Project Manager’s e-mail<br />
address and cell phone<br />
number, as well as access to<br />
the secure online portal where<br />
pictures and logs chronicle the<br />
continued progress on their<br />
home. Customers have access<br />
to the online portal through the<br />
Distinctive Homebuilders App<br />
that can be easily downloaded<br />
to any smartphone or tablet.<br />
“Our customers simply download<br />
our app and they are in<br />
touch with their new home<br />
24/7 from anywhere in the<br />
world. The app allows our<br />
customers to see the progress<br />
of their home and access<br />
their documents at any time”<br />
Nooner explained. “Our customers<br />
really appreciate the<br />
integration of social media<br />
sites within the app allowing<br />
them to easily share photos<br />
and updates of their new<br />
home with family and friends,”<br />
he concluded.<br />
Nooner added that all homes<br />
are highly energy efficient with<br />
upgraded wall and ceiling<br />
insulation, energy efficient<br />
windows and high efficiency<br />
furnaces. Before homeowners<br />
move into their new home,<br />
Distinctive conducts a Blower<br />
Door Test that pressurizes<br />
the home to ensure that each<br />
home passes stringent Energy<br />
Efficiency Guidelines.<br />
