Beechen & Dill Homes claims a reputation for racking up industry awards and The Alpine home at Misty Ridge in Romeoville stands as the latest addition to the homebuilder’s expanding trophy case.

            Named the May 2013 “Home of the Month” by the SouthWest Suburban Home Builders Association, the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath Alpine blends a contemporary, open layout with a versatile floor plan, ample storage, convenient amenities, and distinctive exterior architecture to produce a home that simultaneously delivers style and functionality.

Priced at $239,790, the award-winning home located at 723 N. Misty Ridge Drive is available for immediate occupancy.

            “We’re extremely proud that the Alpine has captured the interest of not only homebuyers, but also our local industry professionals, which certainly speaks to its ability to impress with innovative features and expert craftsmanship,” said Beechen & Dill Homes president Matt Dill, no stranger to industry honors himself as the Home Builder Association of Illinois’ 2011 Builder of the Year.

            Modern spaces, convenience, and versatility define the 2,300-square foot Alpine.

            The Alpine’s first floor features a contemporary, open-concept floor plan highlighted by a kitchen filled with gourmet touches: a preparation island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded porcelain tile floors, and staggered cabinets with crown molding. The kitchen flows directly into a dinette area and family room, one punctuated by a gas fireplace with tile surround.

            “From the moment you walk into the Alpine, its two-story foyer and open layout showcases just how ideal the home is for everyday living and entertaining,” Misty Ridge community consultant Jamie Pugh said.

The home’s second level includes an inspired master suite with a roomy walk-in closet and a luxury bathroom hosting a garden tub and separate shower with tile surround. The second floor also features two additional spacious bedrooms, a flexible bonus room over the garage, and a full-sized laundry unit.

            “The Alpine’s upper level is all about delivering personal comfort, convenience, and the amenities today’s homebuyers expect,” Pugh said, adding that a full basement adds to the home’s versatility.

            The award-winning Alpine carries distinctive curb appeal with a front porch, masonry front elevation, professionally landscape front yard, and carriage-style doors on the home’s two-car garage.

            “Inside and out, the Alpine delivers some real character that distinguishes it as a home a cut above the norm,” Pugh said.

Dill adds that Beechen & Dill Homes, which has been building residential homes in the Chicago area since 1972, consistently monitors and employs construction best practices and design trends to ensure all homes carry a distinctive edge.

“Whether it be stylish finishes or modern construction methods, we’re consistently trying to push the limits and create a home that delivers on all fronts,” Dill said. “The award-winning Alpine shows that mindset in action.”
