Airhart Construction announces sales
at Radcliff Ridge in Lisle
NEW CUSTOM SINGLE-FAMILY HOME COMMUNITY LOCATED WITHIN
HIGHLY ACCLAIMED NAPERVILLE 203 SCHOOL DISTRICT

Airhart Construction is partnering with Inland Real Estate Development to market Radcliff Ridge, a brand new community in Lisle, located within highly ranked Naperville School District 203, featuring 21 executive homes to be built by Airhart Construction.

Inland Real Estate Development LLC recognized this close-in setting for development as a residential neighborhood that would garner positive attention due to its easily accessible location within an excellent school district.

“The property is nicely landscaped and features slightly rolling topography and a scenic pond,” said Matt Fiascone, senior vice president of Oak Brook-based Inland Real Estate Development LLC. “We believe Airhart Construction is the ideal builder for this site because of their vast experience in DuPage County and the fact that they’re a family owned custom home building firm with longstanding ties to the community. A smaller parcel like this called for a slightly smaller builder who could give it the personal attention it deserves.”

Preconstruction sales are now underway on custom single-family home-plus-lot packages at Radcliff Ridge, set on the western edge of Lisle. This scenic eight-acre parcel is adjacent to Willow Glen, a sought-after, but closed-out property Airhart Construction developed a few years back. Preconstruction prices at Radcliff Ridge span from the low $500,000s to the $850,000s (all prices subject to change without notice). Sizes vary from 1,900 to over 4,000 square feet.

“It’s very exciting to be launching a new community right next to one of our most popular sites and being able to revisit Lisle, a town that we know well,” said Court Airhart, president of West Chicago-based Airhart Construction. “We’re always on the lookout for preferred infill properties on which to build, especially within the central DuPage area where we’ve earned our strong reputation. So when this opportunity became available, we jumped at the chance.”

Airhart added that Radcliff Ridge offers a terrific opportunity particularly for local new home shoppers who desire to remain in the area.

“Many people currently reside or previously lived in and around the Lisle and North Naperville area and are now looking for new construction in a friendly and comfortable neighborhood setting,” said Airhart. “However, that kind of combination is rare in this area, as there is not a lot of new development going on. So Radcliff Ridge serves an important niche with quarter-acre homesites, some of which back up to a picturesque pond, and spacious, quality built homes loaded with standard amenities that can be personalized to match a buyer’s tastes.”

Heather Mistele, sales manager for Airhart Construction, noted that the homes at Radcliff Ridge appeal to a wide array of buyers.

“This community offers something for everyone,” said Mistele, “from empty nesters seeking to downsize to a more manageable residence to professional couples savoring a luxury move-up opportunity in a prime setting to growing families eager to send their children to quality schools like Naperville North High School.”

Newsweek Magazine, in fact, continually places Naperville North as one of the top U.S High Schools, and U.S. News & World Report gave it the Silver Award as one of America’s Best High Schools in 2009.

Additionally, Radcliff Ridge is conveniently set just four blocks from Naper Boulevard and Ogden Avenue, near the downtown districts of Lisle and Naperville, said Christy Whelan, director of sales for Airhart Construction.

“Homeowners will enjoy easy access to I-88, I-355 and nearby train stations in downtown Lisle and Naperville that quickly take commuters to Chicago via the Metra/Burlington Northern Santa Fe line,” Whelan said. “There also is a tot lot and a larger playground park just a short walk away.”

What’s more, Lisle boasts an extensive bicycle trail system allowing access to parks and recreation. The Lisle Park District provides a variety of year-round activities and includes the Sea Lion Aquatic Park, Riverbend Golf Course, and numerous parks with tennis courts, ball fields and open areas encompassing over 450 acres. Residents can enjoy several annual festivals, including Lisle’s Smile Days, Depot Days and the popular Eyes to the Skies, which attract thousands to see hot air balloon launches, a parade, large carnival and well-known entertainment acts.

Buyers can rely on Airhart Construction’s high caliber of craftsmanship and built-in value. Every home will meet at least the Bronze level of the National Association of Home Builders’ Model Green Home Building Guidelines, be Energy Star rated, and include 2’ x 6’ exterior walls, low-E windows, Nu-Wool insulation, upscale products, preferred materials, fine finishes and the attention to detail that has helped enhance the builder’s prestige over the last 45 years.

Radcliff Ridge homeowners can choose from virtually any ranch or two-story single-family floorplan in Airhart’s extensive portfolio, including the builder’s Medalist and Signature Series residences. Each home includes two to four bedrooms (first-floor master bedroom per plan), two to four and-a-half baths, a gourmet kitchen with granite and built-in stainless steel appliances, a full basement, two- to three-car attached garage, brick and stone exterior (per plan), fireplace, deluxe wood trim and oak floors.

From now until June 30, 2009, the first buyers who claim a home-plus-lot package at Radcliff Ridge can take advantage of a $20,000 incentive that can be applied toward the options or upgrades of their choice, according to Whelan.
