Ive been driving past the Ashford Place models that popped up on Caton Farm Rd. in Plainfield last year for a while now. Ive been meaning to stop in something always seemed to keep me getting in there.
A few weeks ago, my oldest son and I stopped in at the Ashford Place sales center and took a look around their two beautifully decorated models; the Halden and the Stanhope.
I immediately fell in love with Ashford Place's, Stanhope model. It was beautifully decorated in a pale aqua and cream color pallet. We have big family so its only natural for me to gravitate toward the biggest home they had to offer, but it was a beautiful and highly functional layout. I especially loved the extra large laundry room that was located right off the garage.
The front closet was big enough to store even the largest families collection of outerwear! Mittens, hats, scarves, and gloves... Oh, the possibilities! I seriously have never seen a "walk-in" front closet before. Yes, it was a walk-in closet big enough to make even the most well equipped master bedroom jealous!!!
There are 7 floor plans to choose from, and 2 models available to view. Base prices range from $262,600 to $321,100 and optional features and upgrades will add to the actual cost.
Ashford Place is also part of the Plainfield Consolidated 202 School District .
I stopped back at the sales office for a while and talked to Susan Lanucha who is the general sales manager at the office. We discussed the fact that, at the moment, there really arent very many new home builders still left in Plainfield. A lot of the land has already been built on and there isn't much open land left for development the way it was in the late 90's. She said that Smykal Associates have been building homes in Chicago and the suburbs for the past 136 years.
Thats a long time!
Now in its 5th generation, the Smykal family business has built over 17,000 homes in the Chicago land area. So many builders and developers are facing hard times right now along with the rest of the country. On the heels of the sub-prime lending fall-out, its nice to see a family owned business with such longevity.
If you are looking for a new construction home in Plainfield its not too late, and its still a great time to buy! Id love to have another excuse to get over to see them again. Call me at 630-673-6233 to set up a time to preview the models!
