Description:
QA healthy indoor air environment, high energy efficiency, and sustainable building practices are the three green building principles Lyng Builders proudly instills in every project. As the SSHBA’s Home of the Month award recipient, the Delevan exemplifies Lyng Builders’ dedication to creating only the finest quality High Performance Homes.

The incorporation of green design elements, materials and procedures allows for a superior level of indoor air quality, comfort, durability and value. Just a few of the extra measures Lyng Builders undertake include applying an anti-microbial solution to the entire structure with a 25-year transferable mold protection warranty, installing a passive Radon mitigation system, and insulating with premium blown-in cellulose throughout. Additionally, along with every home by Lyng Builders, the Delevan is Energy Star® certified with an estimated annual energy savings of $848.00.

The Delevan presents a timeless charm that is elegant, warm and inviting while functional and efficient. The setting is simply astounding as the home nestles into a beautifully landscaped walkout lot in Wedgewood Highlands of Channahon. From the cedar deck or through the large windows, gaze out over acres of open space and private tree-lined grounds perched over the Illinois River while easily watching over the kids playing at the park only 100 yards away. Channahon prides itself as a thriving family-oriented community with high quality schools, an award winning Park District, and excellent municipal services.

Guests are greeted through a cozy, covered front porch with natural stone and cedar columns. A stately front door welcomes all into an airy two story foyer with stepped octagon ceiling details and a robust chandelier. The hand-scraped oak plank flooring is rich with detail and the oversized millwork is masterfully finished throughout.

Entering through the garage is equally impressive. Eight-foot tall Carriage House overhead doors open to a fully insulated and finished 3-car garage supplied with convenience outlets, phone jack, additional wall-mount openers, and a hot/cold hose connection. A stylish two-panel arch top door leads into a striking mud/laundry room with gorgeous 18 x 18 porcelain tile, abundant cabinetry, granite top, large closet and extra space for a second fridge/freezer.

Entertain comfortably as all the rooms are generously proportioned in this 3200 square foot home. A formal dinner party for 12 in the dining room is no problem. Host a post-game pizza party in the expansive area leading out to the 16’ x 20’ cedar deck. Or, just enjoy an intimate breakfast with the kids at the kitchen island. And don’t worry about having too many cooks in this kitchen. With what seems like an acre of granite, loads of rich maple cabinetry and ample space around all the work zones, the chefs will never feel crowded. Stainless steel appliances and multi-layered task & accent lighting help make this kitchen a joy to cook in. Activity flows easily from the kitchen through the dinette and into the living room which is accompanied by a separate office/playroom. Arched openings define living areas in this large, open floorplan. The full, deep basement is ready for a custom build-out. A full bathroom is already roughed in and there is plenty of space for a rec room, theater, bedroom, craft room, workshop...

When it’s time to retreat, the four large bedrooms upstairs provide relaxing solitude. Each bedroom boasts distinctive ceiling details, ceiling fans, and large closets. The master suite is captivating with a double door entrance, double tray ceiling, moldings, layered lighting and majestic views. The lavish master bath features a 6’ whirlpool tub, a separate shower with multiple shower heads, a linen closet and an astounding double bowl furniture vanity. The home’s two full baths and powder room all feature remarkable furniture vanities with granite tops and custom made mirrors.

As an Energy Star® Builder and a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Lyng Builders maintains a commitment to creating what homeowners deserve; luxury homes with a healthier quality of living that prove to be safer for our families, safer for our environment and, ultimately, a safer investment.
