Chicago-based developer Focus and its exclusive sales and marketing firm, @properties Developer Services have announced that the first phase of condominiums are nearing closeout at Kelmscott Park, a community of luxury new-construction condominiums and single-family homes in Lake Forest, Illinois. Additionally, Focus is now offering the community’s single-family model for sale.
Located at 1155 Kelmscott Way, Kelmscott Park has 42 condominiums and 12 single-family homes. Remaining condominium floorplans feature two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a den or pocket office, and 1,528 to 1,772 square feet of living space. High-end finishes include wide-plank oak flooring in kitchens and living areas, SubZero, Wolf, and Asko appliances, stone countertops, Kohler kitchen and bath fixutres, private outdoor terraces or balconies, underground temperature-controlled garage parking, separate storage and a shared outdoor lounge with firepit and grills. Prices on the four remaining residences range from $659,000 to $735,000.
Kelmscott Park’s single-family home model features the Beckett Plan, a 3,690-square-foot home with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a den. The contemporary layout offers open-concept living, with a two-story living room at the center of the home, a fireplace, and access to a large outdoor patio. The dining area is open to the kitchen, which features an oversized island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry. The home is listed for $1.797 million.
“Kelmscott Park is especially desirable to today’s homebuyers whose lives have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Tim Anderson, president and CEO of Focus. “The single-family home model is a great visual representation of how the community meets their needs with spacious floor plans, outdoor living space, amenities, and proximity to downtown Lake Forest.”
Maintenance-free single-family homes at Kelmscott Park range from 3,072 to 4,465 square feet, and feature three to five bedrooms, with most plans offering a first-floor primary suite. Each home has an attached two-car garage, brick patio, and den with prices ranging from $1.499 to $1.797 million.
“Renewed interest in Lake Forest real estate has definitely played a part in the success of this project, as buyers have seen the value of living in a luxury, maintenance-free community, and the benefits of having access to private outdoor space, as well as local parks, beaches, and forest preserves,” added Cyndy Salgado, Executive Vice President of Development Sales for @properties Developer Services. “Residents are getting so much out of Kelmscott Park without having to give up the conveniences afforded by city living.”
Kelmscott Park is within walking distance of Lake Forest’s Market Square, local shops and restaurants, neighborhood parks, and Metra station. Chicago-based architecture firm Booth Hansen designed the condominiums and combined modern floor plans with historic Lake Forest architecture. Focus also tapped Lake Bluff-based Mariani Landscape to design the community’s greenways, gardens, and tree-lined boulevards that integrate Kelmscott Park into the surrounding landscape.
