Foxford Kicks Of Third Phase of Somerset Townhomes In Downtown Lake Zurich With A New Decorated Model and a Free WaveRunner

Hinsdale, Ill.-based Foxford Communities will hold a grand opening on Saturday July 30 and Sunday July 31 from 10 am – 4 pm to debut its decorated model of the newly designed townhomes in phase three of Somerset Townhomes, a community of 39 upscale townhomes along the lakefront in downtown Lake Zurich, Ill. Homebuyers who close on a townhome by September 30, 2016 will get a Sea-Doo Spark 2up WaveRunner.

Located on West Main Street between Lakeview Place and Old Rand, Somerset Townhomes provides a maintenance-free, lakeside lifestyle within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops in downtown Lake Zurich. The first two phases of the community, which included 27 homes, are now completely sold out. Phase three will include 12 townhomes all with direct frontage on Breezewald Park and amazing views of Lake Zurich itself, completing the 39 luxury townhomes planned for the Somerset Townhomes community.

“Building in phases has given us the opportunity to listen to our buyers and refine our floor plans to provide additional features that will continue to exceed buyers’ expectations,” said Peter Brennan, president of Foxford Communities. “The newly decorated model home will showcase a refreshed spacious interior with a flexible layout and high-end finishes. However, the breathtaking views of Lake Zurich will be the ultimate showstopper in these homes.”

The 12 new Cape Cod-style, three-story townhomes reflect traditional beachside architecture and range in size from 1,948 to 2,250 square feet. The phase three homes are base-priced from $329,900 to $369,900 and come standard with three bedrooms, two full baths and two half baths, an eat-in kitchen, family room, flex-room on the first floor and attached two-car garage. Two immediate delivery homes will be available in early August while the remaining homes will be partially completed so that buyers have the opportunity to select their own finishes.

“Somerset’s newest townhomes feature spectacular views of the lake and spacious covered front porches, which offer the perfect place to sit and enjoy a summer lakeside breeze,” said Brennan. “For those who enjoy fishing, boating and kayaking, the 250-acre Lake Zurich is a great recreational amenity that’s right outside their front door.”

Newly refined open floor plans include a gourmet kitchen with a large island and breakfast bar overhang, as well as access to an outdoor balcony. An alcove off of the kitchen provides room for additional seating and provides an informal compliment to the kitchen and great room, making the home ideal for entertaining. A finished lower level includes a half bath and flex room that buyers can use as a fitness room, home office or theater room, depending on their needs.

“The amount of flexible space within the townhomes appeals to a wide range of buyers,” said Brennan. “While the maintenance-free lifestyle the townhomes offer has been highly desirable for young professionals, single parents and empty nesters, they all have different ideas on how the flexible spaces can be used. For example, the alcove off the kitchen could be used as a seating and/or playroom area for young families, while empty nesters might prefer to use it as a dining area.”

Additionally, each home at Somerset includes a master suite featuring a walk-in closet and private master bath with a walk-in shower and granite double-bowl vanity.

Other standard features include granite countertops, 42 inch kitchen cabinets, energy efficient stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, 3-inch wide hardwood flooring throughout the main level, and 6”x18” Wood Plank Style-ceramic flooring in entryways and 12”x12” ceramic tiles in the baths.

Nestled in downtown Lake Zurich, adjacent to a public beach and park, Somerset offers homebuyers the enjoyable lifestyle of lakeside living approximately 35 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. The townhomes’ unique in-town location is within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and the lake, offering the perfect home for those seeking walkable yet quaint suburban living.

“The fabulous local amenities that surround Somerset Townhomes and the fact that Lake Zurich has been recognized year after year as being one of the top 10 cities in Illinois for young families largely due to the high-rated schools in District 95, has made Somerset Townhomes a highly desirable place to live,” said Brennan.
