Legacy Square, Bigelow Homes' new downtown Park Forest development offers house hunters the advantage of Bigelow's reputation for affordable quality and their famous heating guarantee.
In fact, the Bigelow Homes reputation is contributing to brisk sales.
Jerry Shnay, who is the public information officer for Park Forest, and his wife Penny visited the models and were impressed.
"These homes offer great value," Jerry said. "You can see the craftsmanship. The corners are square. And it was because of their reputation for quality that we were so enthusiastic about Bigelow building in Park Forest."
"We saw all the awards the company received and it's very impressive," visitor Leonard Wisniewski said. "It just goes to show that Bigelow has a good reputation."
When finished there will be 63, two-four bedroom, 1-1/2 - 2-1/2 bath single-family homes that range in price from the $145,383 - $188,323. Each home will have an attached two-car garage.
Amenities include: kitchens with Aristokraft hidden-hinge cabinets, built-in pantries, and GE gas oven/ranges and dishwashers; and bathrooms with cultured marble vanities, integral bowls and king-sized mirrors. Also included are large linen and guest closets, low-E energy-saving windows and brushed nickel light fixtures. The development includes extra-wide sidewalks and front porches or patios on all models.
Buyers can select options such as brick-front exteriors, covered front porches, upgraded bathrooms, cathedral ceilings, oak railings, and a versatile guest suite.
Homeowners will enjoy all the latest features contemporary homes have to offer such as big closets, well-designed kitchens, and those lower-energy bills. In short, the luxury features and reasonable prices at Legacy Square are too good to pass up.
Bigelow includes a three-year $400 heating guarantee with all its homes. This means that if a buyer's heating bills exceed $400 per year in any of the first three years, Bigelow will pay the difference.
Bigelow Homes can offer this guarantee because they incorporate energy-efficient details into their homes such as the latest low-E thermal windows and insulated foundations.
Right now visitors can walk through four fully decorated models, review floor plans, discuss standard luxury features and add-on options, and go over details with a salesperson.
Legacy Square is located near the intersection of Orchard Dr. and Main St. in the heart of downtown Park Forest. The development is within walking distance of a library, art gallery, movie theater, performing arts center, a supermarket and a Pace Bus stop.
