The Essex is a new floorplan debuting in the Chicagoland market! This home has it all: an open-concept kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room; a den and a flex room; four bedrooms and a loft; two-and-a-half bathrooms; upper-floor laundry; and a standard three-car garage. Come explore!  As you enter the front door, a flex room sits to the side of the home;  transform the space yourself to fit whatever your lifestyle calls for! Continue forward and you'll find the nicely tucked away staircase and an adjacent coat closet for guests. From here, the home opens up beautifully to the open-concept main living spaces, which includes the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. The kitchen is lined with lots of cabinetry and has a large center island. Tucked into the corner of the kitchen is the entry to the private mud room entrance, which provides lots of space for taking off boots and coats during the cold Chicago winters. A walk-in closet finishes the mud room, so there's no shortage of space in this room. Back out through the kitchen, another entryway can be found near the rear of the home in the breakfast area, this time leading to a den, powder bath, and a landing with backyard access.   Upstairs, the Essex holds four bedrooms and a loft. The owner's suite sits in the rear corner of the home and has a private en-suite bathroom attached. The bathroom leads to a large walk-in closet and even a secondary closet near the private water closet. The three secondary bedrooms share no walls, creating lots of privacy within the home. Finishing off this floor is the hallway bathroom, the laundry room, and a hallway linen closet.  Rounding out this home is a large basement with a rough in for a future bathroom.  The Essex is waiting for you to call it home; are you ready to call it home?
