Engaging Single-Family Floor Plan Combines With Maintenance-Free Lifestyle At Deer Park Estates
Spacious DP-2 Model Emphasizes Luxury Living At Red Seal Homes’ Beautiful Single-Family And Townhome Community In Deer Park

Deer Park, IL - (June 11, 2007) - Finding a single-family home in a maintenance-free community is a tall order, but at Deer Park Estates, Red Seal Homes’ beautiful single-family and townhome community in north suburban Deer Park, this order becomes reality at this luxury enclave community. With just 11 spacious single-family homes priced from the $580s and 61 luxury townhomes starting in the $450s, Deer Park Estates has attracted buyers who are looking for an intimate and lushly landscaped neighborhood setting with a style all its own and it has been designed as a maintenance-free neighborhood where all outdoor landscape maintenance is taken care of. The DP-2 single-family model is a perfect example of the quality and luxury that is available at this community.

“Deer Park Estates has really struck a resonant chord with buyers who want exclusivity, style and a smaller, more intimate neighborhood to call their own,” said Todd

Fishbein, president and CEO of Red Seal Development Corporation. “Our single-family plans offer either a first floor or second floor master suite so buyers can choose the layout that suits their needs the best. The DP-2 has the master suite on the second floor and is a beautiful home that’s great for entertaining.”

There are two different single-family floor plans offered at Deer Park Estates, sized at 2,201 and 3,116 square feet. The homes feature three to four bedrooms, 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 baths, luxury master suites with walk-in closets and private baths, full basements and attached two-car attached garages. Walkout and lookout basement options are still available, per site selection. A wooden 12’ x 10’ deck is also included.

Situated at the corner of Long Grove and Quentin Roads, just west of Route 12, Deer Park Estates has a great location and a neighborhood layout that harmonizes with the striking architectural design of the homes. Created in the enclave style for privacy, the community features a professionally designed landscape plan, a pond and a 10’ walking and biking path. Adjacent wetlands provide additional views of nature.

Deer Park Estates also features oversized townhomes available in eight different floor plans that are designed to resemble large and gracious single-family homes. The townhomes range in size from 1,891 to 2,781 square feet and include three bedrooms,

2-1/2 baths, full basements, decks and two-car attached garages. Two of the townhome plans feature a first floor master suite. Homes with English and walkout basements are also available on select sites.

The DP-2 single-family plan is a spacious 3,116 square foot two-story design, with four bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths, formal living and dining rooms, a large center island kitchen with breakfast room that is open to the family room, a full basement and a two-car attached garage.

This home starts with a formal entry foyer and guest closet that opens into the living room. The formal dining room is defined by decorative corners to create an intimate space that connects to the kitchen via a Butler’s pantry.

The centrally located staircase opens into the wide hallway that leads to the rear of the home and the breakfast area and center island kitchen. The rear deck is accessed off the breakfast room through sliding glass doors. The large family room with fireplace is open to the kitchen and breakfast area.

The first floor also features an oversized laundry center with closet off the entrance to the garage and a conveniently located powder room.

On the second floor, the DP-2 has three generously sized secondary bedrooms, two of which have their own walk-in closets. A Jack ‘n Jill bath serves two of the bedrooms, while the other secondary bedroom has its own private bath, making this room suitable as a guest suite, teen retreat or in-law quarters.

The master suite has an oversize bedroom area with windows on two sides for abundant natural lighting. His and hers walk-in closets are featured along with a luxurious private bath with separate vanities, water closet, soaking tub with window and a walk-in shower.

The DP-2 also has a large full basement that can be easily finished off as well as a two-car attached garage. This plan is available in two distinctive looks, both with covered front entryways, stone accents with shake siding, engaging rooflines, carriage style garage doors and decorative dormers. The DP-2 is priced from $599,900.

“Of course, a home as elegant at the DP-2 deserves to be richly appointed on both the inside and outside and we include a long list of standard features that make every home at Deer Park Estates something special,” Fishbein said.

Luxury features include buyer’s choice of hardwood or 12” x 12” ceramic tile flooring for the foyers, kitchens, breakfast rooms and powder rooms. All bath and utility floors also include 12” x 12” ceramic tile.

Each kitchen features a large pantry and center island (per plan), granite countertops with 4” high self-edge backsplash, 42” Merillat cabinets and Kohler plumbing fixtures including a stainless steel undermount sink with designer pullout faucet.

The interiors of each Deer Park Estates home showcase quality painted solid-core six-panel doors with premium satin nickel lever hardware, decorator light fixtures, berber or plush wall-to-wall carpeting and a Majestic fireplace with ceramic surround and hearth in the great room or living room, per plan.

School aged children living at the community attend quality schools that are part of the Lake Zurich School District 95, including Quentin Elementary, Lake Zurich Middle School and Lake Zurich High School.

“With such a small number of single-family homes being built at Deer Park Estates, the opportunity to move to this exclusive community won’t last much longer. We will have field models that will be available for tours shortly that buyers can walk through to see how spacious and open these homes are. I suggest buyers stop by for a visit before it’s too late,” said Fishbein.
