Northbrook Empty Nesters Drawn to Stylish Homes and Maintenance-Free Living at Anets Woods

In early 2017, Northbrook residents Bob and Christa Bolts were just starting to think a move to a maintenance-free community designed for empty nesters might be in their future in the next 10 years. Both in their 50s, the couple was in no hurry to leave their current home and neighborhood. But that quickly changed when they heard about Anets Woods, a new-construction community of 32 luxury single-family homes not far from their current residence.

When they learned about the Northbrook location, sophisticated home designs and serene secluded setting that Anets Woods offers, The Bolts jumped at the chance to purchase one of the first homes at the maintenance-free community under construction by Edward R. James Companies (ERJ).

“We love the Voltz Road location and all the elements of Anets Woods, such as the charm of the wooded setting and unique stone features on the outside of the homes,” said Christa Bolts. “Both the exterior and interior finishes of the homes were factors in our decision to buy a home now and not wait. We weren’t sure there would be another opportunity like this in this area and didn’t want to miss out.”

Another factor that played a role in their decision to buy a home at Anets Woods was the community’s great selection of floor plans and ability to make customizations. The couple appreciated the wide range of design options, plus the fact they would have a dedicated ERJ designer to help with the selection process.

Christa drives by Anets Woods a few times a week and is very excited about the progress so far on the community’s landscaping, paved roads, and the model home under construction.

“We know E.R. James really cares about the ambiance of the community with all the trees that have been planted and the charm of features like the entry stone,” she added. “We’ve seen a great attention to detail all over the community so far.”
