As the spring real estate market gets into full swing, Red Seal Homes is already off to a strong start with sales at Provenance, a master-planned community of 21 single-family homes, 34 duplexes and 82 townhomes at Techny Road and Pensive Lane in the Northbrook area of unincorporated Cook County, Ill. Construction is underway, with roads and infrastructure complete and a number of residences in progress. First move-ins are expected to take place in June.
“We’ve recently hit some very visible construction milestones at Provenance, which has put the community on the radar of many prospective buyers and generated a lot of interest,” said Brian Hoffman, an executive with Northbrook-based Red Seal Homes. “We’ve had several homes go under contract this year, and we expect that momentum to continue heading into the summer market, since new-construction options are in high demand, especially in sought-after and well-established suburbs like Northbrook.”
Hoffman noted buyer interest in Provenance has also been due to the community’s prime North Shore location, which is convenient to both Interstate 294 and Lake Cook Road and also has easy access to plentiful shopping and dining in downtown Northbrook and on nearby Willow Road. Additionally, the community is served by award-winning Northbrook District 31 schools and Glenbrook North High School.
“This location appeals to a tremendous variety of buyers, from families looking for top schools, to busy professionals who want to be close to suburban business districts, to empty nesters looking to downsize,” said Hoffman. “The great thing about Provenance is we have a range of housing styles that match up to those different lifestyle priorities and preferences. Whether buyers want the convenience of an attached maintenance-free home or the experience of working with us to design their dream single-family home, they’ll find it at Provenance.”
Among the maintenance-free options at Provenance are townhomes, called The Terraces, which are priced from $489,900 and measure from 2,081 to 2,664 square feet. Five floor plans offer three bedrooms, 2½ baths and an attached, two-car garage. Available features include a first-floor master suite with sitting area, second-level loft, second-level laundry room, office and two-story great room, per plan.
Also offering a maintenance-free lifestyle are the duplex homes, called The Villas, priced from $599,900 and measuring 1,807 to 3,606 square feet. They include two to three bedrooms, 2½ baths, and an attached, two-car garage. The four Villas plans have one or two stories and offer features such as a first-floor master suite, loft, office, two-story foyer and dining room, or second-level laundry room.
“The Villas are already our best-selling option at Provenance, largely because they offer the features and feel of single-family living without the exterior upkeep,” said Hoffman. “And with these designs measuring up to 3,606 square feet, they are comparable in size to single-family homes in the area.”
Both The Terraces and Villas are complete with a package of high-end interior finishes, including site-finished oak floors in first-floor living spaces; upgraded kitchens with oversized islands, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances; and deluxe master baths.
Buyers at Provenance can also choose from a selection of customizable single-family homes, called The Estates, which measure 2,948 to 4,362 square feet and are priced from $909,900. Floor plans include ranch and two-story designs, including master-down options, and have two to five bedrooms, 2½ to 4½ baths and attached two- or three-car garages. Homes include flexible spaces, such as loft areas, home offices and dens, and are also complete with upscale finishes including custom trim work and crown molding, architectural ceilings in select rooms, a fireplace, and gourmet kitchens with built-in stainless steel appliances.
“Red Seal has been building luxury single-family homes on the North Shore for more than 80 years, and we’ve drawn on that experience to pack The Estates with the features and finishes we know buyers in this area are looking for,” said Hoffman. “As a family-owned business, we also have the flexibility to work with buyers to add their personal touch to nearly any aspect of their home, which creates a truly custom home experience.”
Set on 44 acres, Provenance is built around a landscaped community common with a waterfall as its centerpiece. Walking paths connect the common with a series of smaller parks throughout the community, including picnic areas and a playground.
