Newly opened models draw enthusiastic condominium buyers to The Residences of Fountain Square in Lombard; a selection of residences is offered for early delivery LOMBARD, IL – October 23, 2006 – Enthusiastic buyer interest has greeted the opening of model condominiums at the popular Residences of Fountain Square, one of the hottest addresses in the Lombard-Oak Brook corridor along 22nd Street. Being developed by Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA), The Residences of Fountain Square have already posted sales of more than 60 percent of the 148 condominiums planned for the two distinctive buildings that form the tranquil yet convenient enclave. Prices range from $227,990 to $399,990 for one- two- and three-bedroom condominiums. "The pace of sales for this community has been rapid, and never more so than now," said Ann Danner, president of Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA). "Buyers who desire quick deliveries have about eight choices in Building One which is almost complete. Several of these residences are ready for 30-day delivery and have been appointed with deluxe features and may include hardwood floors in kitchens, upgraded 42-inch maple cabinets, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, ceramic tile in baths and more. In addition, some condominiums are available for 60 to 90-day deliveries and buyers may still choose their interior selections. "All of the 15 floor plans offered are still available in Building Two, although in some cases, only one or two units featuring a given plan remain. Delivery dates are anticipated to begin in spring of 2007. Buyers who act now have wide choices in plans, prices and delivery dates," she said. The Residences of Fountain Square are comprised of two four-story brick and masonry buildings, with 74 condominiums to a building. The 15 plans range from 920 to 1,855 square feet and including parking in a heated garage. The models include a professionally decorated unit, a sales office and two condominiums that are unfurnished but have decorative accents. Residence E, priced from $273,990, is a popular model that offers a cozy atmosphere that lives large in 1,159 square feet of space with one bedroom and a den. Highlights of Residence E include a charming living room with large windows and wide window sills plus access to a balcony. Opening off the living room and expanding the available space for entertaining is a generous-sized den. The eat-in kitchen may be appointed with an island, and the master bedroom boasts an extra-large walk-in closet and a private bath. As with all of the condominiums, Residence E includes a laundry room and a powder room located off a foyer with two closets. “Residence E demonstrates some special features that are unusual in many area buildings,” Danner said. “These features include eat-in kitchens, laundry rooms within the condominiums and one-bedroom plans with a full bath plus a powder room. In addition, the large windows and nine-foot ceilings ensure a light, airy living environment that is so popular with buyers today.” Other quality features included in the condominiums are plush carpeting and padding; painted interior millwork package; three cable TV outlets and 3 phone jacks; decorator-selected lighting fixtures; hard wired smoke detectors; air conditioning; and fire-sprinkler systems. Appealing kitchens sparkle with a choice of furniture-quality cabinets, pantry cabinets or closets per plan, choice of decorator laminate countertops and backsplashes, no-wax vinyl floors, stainless-steel double-bowl sinks, single-lever faucets with sprayers and appliances including gas ranges and hoods, dishwashers and disposals. Baths have furniture-quality vanity cabinets with cultured marble tops and integral bowls, double-bowl vanities in master baths, no-wax vinyl flooring, ceramic wall tile in master bath tubs and showers per plan, oversized vanity mirrors and theatrical lighting; and powder rooms are accented by pedestal sinks and decorative mirrors. Buyers may personalize the condominiums with hardwood flooring, granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry and flooring materials, fireplaces, security systems, wiring packages for computer and entertainment systems, solid surface countertops, stained millwork and crown molding, chair rail and mantel upgrades, and a variety of other features.
