Breathtaking foyers greet you, while open floor plans make the homes feel endless, handcrafted woodwork and custom cabinetry adorn the inside of your new dream home where quality is in the details.

The “Bridget” model has been chosen by the Southwest Home Builders Association for the prestigious distinction of the Home of the Month award and for good reason…Located in Mokena’s largest new custom home subdivision Foxborough Estates.

From the moment you arrive, you will be amazed by the striking architecture of this magnificent 4,200 square foot home in a culd-de-sac lot, with a side load fully finished three-car garage. As you walk up the driveway, you can’t help to notice the professional landscaping and accent lighting. This all brick home features “Scottsdale” brick with colored mortar. Abundant “Windsor” Stone gable walls, entry arch and wing wall, aluminum soffits, facia and gutters, aluminum clad energy efficient windows, copper bay roof and copper flashings complete this exterior for true maintenance free living.

The winding sidewalk leads you to a spectacular round top mahogany entry door with leaded glass sidelights. Exquisite luxury exudes quality and drama throughout as you enter the open floor plan grand two-story foyer with fabulous dual chandeliers. You are greeted by a custom round staircase with powder coated metal “basket” ballasters. The living room features arched cased opening, hardwood flooring with walnut inlay border, diagonal center, walkout bay and three piece crown molding. The adjacent dining room features two arched cased openings, dramatic round wall and oversize chair-rail. Dramatic two story great room has endless windows to capture every moment of daylight complimented by gorgeous arch top granite slabs surrounding a custom designed fireplace mantle and upper frame. The gourmet kitchen is open to the great room and is sure to delight the chef in the family as they are still connected to the rest of the family or guests. The cherry color stained custom raised panel staggered height cabinetry with three piece crown molding rope trim; topped off with granite tops with an ogee edge. The center of the kitchen has a “747” size two level island/ breakfast bar that could support seven stools for the second serving area.

The complete stainless steel appliance package offers double ovens, built in microwave, oversized built in refrigerator, dishwasher, cook top and a warming drawer. Fantastic light fixtures, abundant recessed can lighting and a beautiful tumble stone tile backsplash complete this perfect kitchen. A custom built in hutch cabinet with mail dividers, shelving, electrical outlets, phone jack and drawers the builder calls a “message center” which would replace the desk in a traditional home. A walk-in pantry will add to the already ample storage in this home. The dinette offers doors to an approx. 700 square foot maintenance free wrap around deck with metal “basket” ballasters.

The main floor laundry is outfitted with full cabinetry, counter tops and front load washer and dryer. Also located on the main floor is a study/ fifth bedroom with a closet and double french doors, adjacent to a bathroom with a five foot shower perfect for out of town guests.

Yet, another custom open round stair case leads you to a full 9’ tall walkout basement with a spectacular custom designed arch stone fireplace and underground plumbing for a fifth bathroom if you need to expand the living space in the future or create that theatre room you have always wanted. A patio door leads you out to a brick paver patio to enjoy your professional landscaped yard with an underground sprinkler system.

As you ascend to the upper level of this custom home, the open circle upper landing complemented by hardwood flooring offers spectacular views of the foyer and the great room; perfect for that Family, wedding or prom picture that will say WOW! where was that photo taken?

As you are in the drying area the builder has even added a heat lamp thinking of all the luxurious details. The master closet measures 25’ in length fully outfitted with shelving and rods; it was described by one buyer as being big enough to do “two or three cartwheels.”
