A First Home Can be a Dream Home
North Aurora, IL, September 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Can a first home be a dream home? At Gladstone Homes, the answer is “Definitely!”

“Being a first-time homebuyer doesn’t mean you have to forego a big home with ample, two-car garage space, full-sized kitchens and separate dining areas,” said Gladstone General Sales Manager Katie Minott. “Even starting out, homebuyers want to the option to customize their home by adding a fireplace, having vaulted ceilings or a two-story family room, and they are thrilled to find it all in a luxurious, affordable and maintenance-free home from Gladstone’s Luxury Villa Series.”

Searching for the right home can be both exciting and challenging for many first-time homebuyers. Gladstone Homes’ Luxury Villa Series offers two exceptional home designs ideal for growing families or singles making their first home purchase.

The Villas are two-unit structures composed of luxury single-family homes ranging in size from 2,194 square-feet to 2,617 square-feet, offering the maintenance-free convenience typically associated with townhome living. The Luxury Villa Series is available at Chatham Square in Plainfield and Oak Creek in North Aurora.

Like all of Gladstone Homes’ designs, the Villas feature kitchen-centered, open, flowing floor plans with full kitchens, separate dining areas and spacious family rooms. Both home designs, the Baystone and the Oakstone. offer a covered porch entry, two bedrooms with an option for a third.

During Gladstone Homes’ limited time “Live 4 Free” offer, now through Oct. 5, homebuyers will receive a year’s worth of groceries free from Gladstone Homes, as well as having their utilities and credit card bills paid for a year. In addition, Gladstone will provide $20,000 in free luxury upgrades and options during the event.

“These homes already are affordable with monthly mortgage payments estimated between $1,263 and $1,328,” said Minott. “And with no worries about grocery costs or credit card bills, a luxurious and new first home has never been more affordable.”

Off the foyer of the Baystone is a two-story family room measuring more than 255 square feet with an optional fireplace and skylights, open to the spacious, 172 square-foot kitchen with breakfast bar, and separate 139 square-foot dinette.

French doors on the opposite side of the foyer lead to the first-floor master bedroom measuring more than 240 square-feet. In addition, the master suite includes a walk-in closet and spacious bath with dual-vanity, a dressing area or optional whirlpool tub, and optional skylight.

The second floor options make this home particularly well-suited either for growing families or roommates opting for investment value over renting.

In the base plan, the Baystone features dual master suites. The second floor bedroom measures nearly 300 square feet and has a vault ceiling. A dressing room with vanity leads from the bedroom to the second floor bath. From the loft which looks out to the family room below, a second private vanity room also leads to the bath.

“As we see more singles making first-time investment purchases, the Baystone offers luxury while addressing the increasingly common, ‘Who gets the master suite?’ question,” said Minott. “In growing families, the second bedroom can be a spacious shared bedroom or a family may choose the third-bedroom option, which uses only part of the loft area, if they prefer more private space for the children, a playroom or a guest bedroom.”

The Oakstone offers a first-floor study and formal dining room, in addition to the two-story family room, full-size kitchen and separate casual dining area.

“The private study makes an ideal home office, reading room or craft room that, with the adjacent powder room, can be converted into a part-time guest room,” said Minott.

The master suite is on the second floor and includes a comfortable sitting area, bedroom, master bath and walk-in closet. The spacious second bedroom is adjacent to a dual-vanity hall bath, as is the optional third bedroom.

Both Villa home designs include first-floor laundry and powder rooms, basements and two-car garages, as well as brick exteriors, custom oak staircases, furniture-quality cabinetry, and hardwood flooring in the foyer and kitchen.

“First-time buyers will love what Gladstone has to offer, and if they act quickly can take advantage of the “Live 4 Free” offer, making it easier than ever to invest in a home,” said Minott.
