Distinctive Home Builders Debuts Luxury Furnished Model
At Hanover Estates in Manhattan within the Lincoln-Way School District
Distinctive Home Builders
continues to add high
quality homes to the
Manhattan landscape at
Hanover Estates; its latest
new home community
located within the highlyregarded
Lincoln-Way
School District. Distinctive
is selling Craftsman
Series and Legacy Series
single family homes with
base prices from the upper
$290s - $400s. Square
footage of the ranch
homes begins at 2,400
square feet and the twostory
homes start from
2,700 square feet. Many
of the sites in both neighborhoods
offer lake views
and all homes will have
brick around the first
floor as a premium standard
feature.
“Sales and construction
are underway and a
brand new Stonebridge
II model is open for touring,”
said Bryan Nooner,
President of Distinctive
Home Builders, “These
new home designs are a
result of an extraordinary
amount of time and effort
spent on refining the
architectural standards.”
“There is indeed a difference
– there is nothing
else like it on the market
– the elevations are outstanding
and our homeowners
also have the ability
to customize so they
can truly have the home
of their dreams,” he said.
Nooner speaks of the
Craftsman designs the
company has introduced
at Hanover Estates. These
new designs feature low
pitched rooflines, large
front porches with tapered
columns and stone
piers, partially-paned
windows, gable brackets,
and an exterior color
palate with a variety of
earth tones or gray tones.
Popular exterior options
are stone and cedar shake
accents.
Besides the new model,
there are several homes
at various stages of construction
are available to
tour and as a semi-custom
builder, Distinctive can
modify any of its standard
designs to cater to a
customer’s tastes, which
means that moving walls,
adding extra windows or
even extending the garage
are all possible.
Numerous home styles
are available, each with
multiple exterior elevations.
Hanover Estates
homes have three to five
bedrooms and two full to
three and one-half baths
and two to three-car garages.
All of the Legacy
Series homes will have
three-car garages.
Homes include custom
maple kitchen cabinets
featuring solid wood
construction (no particle
board) with solid
wood drawers and dove
tail joints; ceramic tile
or hardwood floors in
the kitchen, baths and
foyer; genuine wood
trim and doors; granite
countertops and
concrete driveways.
Building a new home is
certainly not what it used
to be. Thankfully, the latest
technology coupled
with fine-tuned people
skills, has made the experience
an exciting one for
Distinctive buyers at Hanover
Estates.
“We are on the leading
edge when it comes to the
home buying customer
sales experience,” said
Nooner. “Our sales professionals
are among the
best. We provide them
with high-level training
and the latest tech tools to
enhance our homebuyer’s
experience. We also provide
technology to our
homeowners throughout
the home building
process with a private
homeowner portal app.
Building a new home is
an exciting yet long process
that can have many
ups and downs that can
be neutralized by simply
having great communication.
We want our buyers
to be informed and empowered
every step of the
way.”
Daily pictures of customer
homes in progress
are taken and uploaded
for easy access from
anywhere in the world.
Homeowners can view
their selections from their
phone, tablet or desktop;
review detailed information
about the quality
components used in their
new home, and easily access
their documents using
a username and password
that is issued once
construction of their new
home begins.
“Communication exists
on an entirely new level
making building with us a
very personal experience.
Never before could customers
have access to all
of this information 24/7.
We want to raise the bar
for our industry,” added
Nooner.
Through the customer
portal, homeowners can
easily share the pictures
and progress of their
home with friends and
family via e-mail and integrated
links to social
media. They can also
review the construction
schedule to see
what is happening next
in the building of their
new home.
Hanover Estates boasts
four lakes and three
parks within its borders.
The Manhattan Metra
train station, several forest
preserves and many
