Two New Communities in Itasca

When it comes to real estate, the Village of Itasca is well-known for its many large historic homes, many dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. Itasca’s growing popularity has led Landmark Custom Homes to build two new multi-family housing structures in the area. Pierce Place Condos and Hidden Oaks of Itasca demonstrate a luxurious take on the traditional concept of condominiums and townhomes.

Pierce Place Condos are located in the heart of Hamilton Lakes, and will feature six five-unit condominium buildings. In order to create an enclosed, community feel, the buildings will be surrounded by professionally-constructed landscape and courtyards. Atypical of most condos, which are high-rise, Park Place Condos are only three stories tall, giving buyers a more residential feel. Each 1,585 square-foot condo has two bedrooms and two full baths, radiant heated garage, elevator, secured entry with color monitor, in-unit and garage storage, and ceramic flooring.

Hidden Oaks of Itasca has “filled the void” for new townhomes in the area. The community will contain 27 brand new townhomes, ranging from 1,800-2,100 feet, three to four bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Each home will contain top-of-the-line cabinetry and hardware, vaulted ceilings, oak railings, two-story family rooms, luxury master suites, full basements and much more. Landscaping plans include a large fountain and a park, and each townhome will have a fully-sodded yard. For more information, visit www.itascaliving.com.

Both Pierce Place Condos and Hidden Oaks of Itasca are just minutes from I-90, I-290, I-355, Rt. 53, Rt. 83, and the Elgin-O’Hare Expressway, as well as a short walk to downtown Itasca. They are well-situated with access to top schools, nightlife and train stations.

Making these new luxury residences fit each unique lifestyle, as well as reflect every taste and personality, is of the utmost importance to homebuyers. Many new trends in home design continually sprout up, with a current popular one being outdoor kitchens.

“More couples enjoy cooking together when the design is finalized for their new kitchen project,” said Mary LaDahl, owner of Custom Cabinet Concepts, an innovative company specializing in design and construction. “The trend for outdoor kitchens and patios, with sinks, refrigerators, gas/charcoal grill combos and cabinetry are picking up pace this season. It’s like a getaway…you can set a tone that is tranquil or exciting.”

Additional choices in home design, LaDahl explained, include full spa master suites with shower and whirlpools, decorative or simple backsplash tiles for kitchens, wet-bars and baths, and closet organizations. “Closet organizations seem to be a must with the elite of Chicago and the suburbs,” stated LaDahl. “Closet organizations have also become very popular with newlyweds, with their abundance of stuff together they need that space planning.”

Of course, each homebuyer is looking for a design all their own. Enlisting in the services of a qualified designer and contractor is key, and there are certainly plenty ready to offer his or her personal expertise in the Itasca area.
