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.
Lyng Builders currently has premium wooded and
pond view lots in three sought after
communities; White Pine Estates of Mokena,

Highlands of Channahon. Whether on your lot or
one of theirs, they would love the opportunity

your dreams.
