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 />

maintainiscriticaltoupholding<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 />
