Maintenance-free community to deliver 32 single-family homes in prime North Shore location

Glenview, Ill.-based Edward R. James Companies, an award-winning homebuilder with a 60-year history of delivering exceptional communities in Chicago’s North Shore, announced construction has begun at Anets Woods, a maintenance-free community of 32 single-family homes located at 1230 Voltz Road in Northbrook, Ill. The community, which started sales in September 2016, anticipates first deliveries in 2018.

“The combination of Anets Woods’ location, unique interior and exterior features, secluded wooded setting and exceptional floor plans, delivers an exceptional living experience in one of the North Shore’s most in-demand locations,” said Jerry S. James, president of Edward R. James Companies. “With their first-floor master suites, private outdoor space, and generous kitchen and living areas that are ideal for entertaining, homes at Anets Woods are especially attractive to empty-nesters with limited new-construction options in this area.”

Four distinct floor plans are available, each featuring a first-floor master, two second-floor bedrooms, 2½ baths and an attached side- or front-loading two-car garage. All homes offer two-story designs with a first-floor den and a loft for flex space. Several of the homes include a look-out or walk-out basement, with partial look- or walk-out basements for the remaining homes. Plans range from 2,913 to 3,578 square feet, with pricing from $1,070,900 to $1,112,900.

Each home’s interiors include site-finished oak hardwood flooring, 9’ ceilings on the first floor, Bosch^® stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. Exterior features complement the homes’ scenic setting, including bluestone on the front porch and stairs, masonry full-depth stone veneer and Hardie Shingle, and a 30-year architectural shingle roof. “When I found the bluestone during a trip to the East Coast, I knew it was a beautiful element perfectly suiting Anets Wood’s architecture and setting,” said James. “We have paid exceptional attention to detail for these homes inside and out, making Anets Woods a rare find in the North Shore.”

The community is located on a heavily wooded 16-acre site, which is surrounded by numerous species of trees and shrubs. The community also features two conservation areas, a detention basin, retention pond and fire pit. “It has long been our philosophy to build to the land, not just on it,” said James. “While tree preservation is a meticulous process, it is essential to truly integrate the homes into a natural environment that will be sustained for generations to come.”

James noted that Anets Woods provides a rare new-construction opportunity for people seeking maintenance-free living while still enjoying the space and style of a refined single-family home. “It’s ideal for many life-long Northbrook residents who wish to remain in the community in which they were raised, or they’ve raised their children, and where their friends, doctors and favorite places are located,” he said.

The sales center is available Thursday through Monday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Please call (847) 955-1213 to schedule an appointment.
