Buyers at a new Chicago-area community from M/I Homes have a lot of choices to make.
At Hunter’s Crossing in Channahon, Ill., they can choose from seven single-family home designs, ranging from 1,815 to 3,100 square feet. The two-story floor plans feature three to five bedrooms, 1½ to 3½ baths, an attached two- or three-car garage, and a full basement. They are base-priced from $209,990 to $274,990.
Once they’ve decided on the floor plan, they have options and customizations to consider, such as a bumped-out bay window in the flex space; a mudroom with direct access from a three-car garage; a granite fireplace; and an upgraded kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 42-inch maple cabinets and an island.
“With so many plans to choose from, buyers have plenty of options in terms of home size and design features at a variety of price points,” says Cheryl Bonk, vice president of sales and marketing for M/I Homes. “In fact with the pricing of these homes, entry-level buyers will find that they are a very attainable single-family home option – something that can be hard to find in today’s new-construction market.”
The community’s new model home features the Dunbar plan, a 2,470-square-foot design with three bedrooms and 2½ baths, base-priced from $254,990. It has an open layout that according to Bonk offers the casual feel many of today’s buyers want. “The Dunbar’s huge family room is open to the kitchen and breakfast area, which creates the kind of all-in-one living space that becomes the hub of activity in the home,” says Bonk. “Plus, the plan also has first-floor flex space, which the model shows as a home office but can also serve as a den or even a dining room if buyers want a more formal eating area for entertaining.”
Upstairs, the Dunbar features a loft area, which the model shows as additional living space with comfortable seating and custom built-ins housing an entertainment center; buyers can also opt for a fourth bedroom in lieu of the loft. Additionally, the second floor includes a large laundry room, hall bath, two secondary bedrooms, and the master suite, which the model shows with an upgraded luxury master bath with a dual-bowl vanity, separate shower and soaking tub, and a linen closet.
