Chicago-based Lexington Homes has announced swift sales and first move-ins at Lexington Chase, a community of 24 townhomes in Palatine, Ill. According to Jeff Benach, principal of Lexington Homes, townhomes in popular Chicago suburbs like Palatine have been selling faster than average, similar to townhome sales trends in the city. In fact, Lexington Chase is already 70-percent sold less than one year after starting sales.

Lexington Chase marks Lexington’s third townhome development in Palatine within the past four years.

“The townhomes at Lexington Chase are Lexington Homes’ latest and greatest floor plans and have been designed to live more like a single-family home, with extra functional and flexible living areas,” said Benach. “Lexington has been building single-family homes, townhomes, high-rises and mid-rises in the Chicago area for more than 40 years. With each new community we have continued to refine our homes by integrating national design trends, including open floor plans and multi-purpose rooms that can accommodate any lifestyle.”

Located at the corner of Quentin and Palatine roads, Lexington Chase is served by the highly regarded William Fremd High School, which was recently named one of Chicago Magazine’s Best Public Schools in Chicago’s Suburbs. The property also boasts a convenient and scenic setting, resting against a wooded site across from Reimer Reservoir Park and approximately 1 mile from downtown Palatine, home to a variety of shops, restaurants and the Palatine Metra station.

Julie and Zach Pastko purchased a townhome at Lexington Chase and were drawn to its open and spacious layout that includes functional and flexible spaces like a great room and larger kitchen. “Although this was our first home purchase, I knew I was in good hands with Lexington because my parent’s first home was also built by Lexington Homes almost 30 years ago,” said Julie. “Right off the bat we knew we were purchasing a quality home with the latest high-end features. The thing I love most about our new townhome is that it lives more like a single-family home, but with the convenience of a maintenance-free lifestyle.”

Buyers at Lexington Chase can choose from two plans – the Laurel, which measures 1,961 square feet and is priced from $357,490, and the Spencer, which measures 2,108 square feet and is priced from $374,990. Both townhomes feature open main floor layouts, three to four bedrooms, 2½ to 3½ baths, two-car garages and backyards with private patios and balconies.

All homes include master suites with a walk-in closet and a master bath with a granite-topped, double-bowl vanity and a large walk-in shower. An upstairs laundry room, conveniently located next to the bedrooms, adds to the overall functionality of the homes. Lexington Chase also offers gourmet kitchens with oversized islands and breakfast bar overhangs that can seat up to four. An expanded bonus room on the lower level of each plan can be used as a media room or turned into a fourth bedroom with a full bath.

“Lexington Chase’s fluid floor plans are designed to provide homebuyers various layout options to meet a variety of lifestyles,” said Benach. “For example, on the main floor of the Spencer, the larger of the two plans, homebuyers have the option of having a sizable laundry room or a home office right off the kitchen.”

Homebuyers of the Spencer can also upgrade the master bath to a deluxe master bath that includes a tub and walk-in shower, while the Laurel gives the option of having two large master suites on the upper floor, each with a walk-in closet and master bath.

Standard features at Lexington Chase include 9-foot ceilings and hardwood flooring throughout the main level, granite countertops in the kitchen and master bath, 42-inch upper kitchen cabinets, energy-efficient stainless steel GE appliances and 12×12-inch ceramic flooring in entryways and baths. As in all of its developments, Lexington Homes offers the most up-to-date selections in flooring, fixtures and home features that reflect today’s housing trends and cutting-edge design treatments.

Lexington Chase is just 30 miles from Chicago’s Loop and 14 miles from O’Hare International Airport. The community is located in the renowned Community Consolidated School District 15, a winner of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, a prestigious award few school districts in the nation have won.
