Whether homebuyers are drawn to the contemporary feel of a ranch home or its flexible design, this style continues to enjoy popularity. The Brentwood, Camelot Homes’ newest design at Taylor Glen, is a modern interpretation of a true classic. With each square foot thoughtfully planned out, the Brentwood is a departure from the opulent designs of years past—square footage is wisely distributed to family rooms and kitchens, and through smart design this home offers 2-1/2 baths as well as a convenient first floor laundry room. Today’s trends command innovative thinking and superior efficiency, which Camelot Homes has proven itself adept at mastering.
Bolstered by the positive feedback of Camelot’s newly designed Classic Series, the fresh addition is set to be built on Lake Taylor in New Lenox. This beautiful homesite offers stunning views of the 10-acre lake that can be enjoyed from the Brentwood’s large back patio. The Classis Series lineup includes many of the features that separate a Camelot Home from all others, such as R-49 ceiling insulation with R-18 wall insulation, kitchen appliances, and hardwood flooring in the kitchen and foyer, and include a partial basement. Base priced at $279,900, the home has understandably attracted some attention. Eager to provide a glimpse of what this home has to offer, Camelot plans to break ground on the new model home this spring.
“The Brentwood is a culmination of what people loved most in other ranch designs,” said Will Albright, Executive Vice President of Camelot Homes. “We heard such great feedback on the open kitchen and family room design, and a two-step ranch has proven to be the perfect solution for young families and empty nesters alike.” When asked how he is privy to the pulse of shoppers in the market for a new home, he chuckles. “I ask them. They tell me, and I listen.” Seems simple enough.
Packed with features well known for preserving resale value such as upgraded maple cabinets, gas fireplace, and hardwood floors, this model appears set to enjoy the same popularity as the other ranch models at Taylor Glen. Offered at $335,900 on its beautifully landscaped lakefront homesite, this home also features 8’6” basement walls as well as 9’ first floor walls. “High ceilings are one desirable feature that can never be added later,” said Mark Kaup, President of Camelot Homes. “We always try to offer the smartest home for the money, one that offers all the impressive features with enough room left in the budget for things buyers want to add later. That being said, we’re not alone in our efforts to make Taylor Glen a success. The Village of New Lenox has offered a 50% reduction in impact fees, which we’ve used towards an aggressive base pricing plan.”
Home to Lincoln-Way West as well as award-winning elementary schools Nelson Ridge and Nelson Prairie, New Lenox is a premier destination to raise a family. A strong sense of community defines New Lenox, and the village has worked hard to make the downtown Commons area a success by offering summertime concerts and other family activities. Camelot Homes followed through with this theme by designing a walking path to surround Lake Taylor as well as a residents’ park within the community.
