ebration scheduled for May19, this is the final opportu-nity for homebuyers to savewith pre-grand openingprices. Already, 20 percent ofthe community’s easy-livinghomes have been sold and areunder construction.The Enclave at Mill Creek

features 44 detached, sin-gle-family homes in Phase I.Buyers can choose from fiveranch floor plans with 1,379to 2,154 square feet of livingspace, two or three bedrooms,and two full baths. Base pricesstart from$354,900.Several of the plans at the

Enclave at Mill Creek have theoption for a second story.Thiscan add 866 to 1,090 moresquare feet of living space,one or two bedrooms or a

loft, and another bath on theupper level.The two-story lay-outs can accommodate col-lege children home for sum-mer break, extended familiesor overnight guests.“The main draw of The

Enclave is that it is one of thefew neighborhoods withinthe surrounding communi-ties where buyers can build anew home with limited main-tenance,” said Jay Dulla, man-aging director of MeritusHomes. “That means home-owners can choose their col-ors, flooring, fixtures andmore. Plus, Meritus Homesoffers a variety of options andupgrades and is willing tomake semicustom changesfor even more ways to tailor ahome to someone’s tastes.”Also appealing — especially

for empty-nesters — is themaintenance-free lifestyle atthe Enclave at Mill Creek.Thehomeowners association per-forms all common area land-scape maintenance as well aslawn care for each individual

home so owners never haveto spend their time or energyon outdoor chores. Snowremoval also is included in themonthly assessment.Located at the intersection

of Army Trail Boulevard andNorth Mill Street, the Enclaveat Mill Creek is tucked in amature area surrounded byestablished neighborhoods.Plus, the property has abun-dant green space, includingWestwood Creek, three pondsand a scenic sitting area. Infact, more than one-third ofthe homes back up to naturalareas.To complement these sur-

roundings, exteriors aredesigned with classic archi-tecture that features brickaccents, optional stoneaccents and covered entriesto provide shelter frominclement weather. Someplans include front porches.Exteriors are constructed oflow-maintenance materi-als such as vinyl siding foreasy upkeep. Front, side andrear yards are fully soddedplus a landscaping package isincluded with each new hometo give it instant curb appeal.All homes at the Enclave

at Mill Creek are built to theexacting standards that sig-nify a Meritus home. Interiorshave 9-foot,first-floor ceilings,six-panel doors, decorativetouches such as rounded dry-wall corners and brushednickelfinishes, central air con-ditioning, and full basementsall as standard features.Kitchens are designed

around the chef with a fullsuite of stainless steel appli-ances including a range,

microwave, dishwasher andrefrigerator; pantry, per plan;granite countertops; and ele-gant touches such as ceramictile or oak flooring and cabi-netswith crownmolding.All baths have ceramic tile

flooring and shower wallsalong with cultured mar-ble vanity tops, while masterbaths have the added luxury ofseparate showers; custom-fin-ished, wood, raised vanities;linen closets; and compart-mentalizedwater closets.Optional amenities range

from gourmet kitchenenhancements to gas fire-places and upgraded flooring,among others.“Savvy buyers understand

— and appreciate — all theadvantages that come with anewly built home,” said Dulla.For example, homeowners

have few, if any, repairs thatneed to be made. Plus, theycan typically stay comfortablefor less since new homes aremore energy efficient.“Before the Enclave at

Mill Creek opened, very fewnew homes were being builtin Addison or surroundingareas in a maintenance-freeenvironment, so if someonewanted to stay in the area,their choices were limited,”Dulla said. “Now, home shop-pers can reap the benefitsof new construction yet stayclose to what they know andlove.”Buyers have been coming

to the community from sur-rounding towns such as Lom-bard, Elmhurst and Itasca—and even as far away as Pal-atine — drawn to the prop-erty’s convenient location.
