M/I Homes closed on the land acquisition for Northwoods of Naperville, a 12-acre wooded parcel that will be redeveloped from an office site into an enclave of 64 townhomes bordered by a forest preserve in Naperville, Illinois.
Demolition of a vacant 67,000-square-foot office building began in June, and land development is now underway. Pre-sales are scheduled to launch this fall.
Located north of Warrenville Road and just west of Naperville Road, Northwoods of Naperville will offer buyers a private, natural setting surrounded by mature tree growth and abutting Herrick Lake Forest Preserve. The community also benefits from proximity to major transportation arteries including Interstate 88, only a half-mile away, Interstate 355 and Routes 83 and 59.
M/I Homes is unveiling two new lines of townhome designs at Northwoods of Naperville: the Urban Series and the Revival Series, with prices expected to start in the $700,000s.
Buyers can choose from two floor plans from the four-story Urban Series, whose designs feature a generously sized roof deck adjacent to a fourth-floor bonus space, plus a separate second-floor balcony off of the main living space. Measuring 2,669 to 3,152 square feet, Urban Series plans offer two to four bedrooms, including the option for a first-floor bedroom or study, three to four baths and an attached rear-load two-car garage. Additionally, four floor plans from M/I’s traditional two-story Revival Series will be available. Measuring 1,991 to 2,436 square feet, the townhomes have three to four bedrooms, including one plan with a first-floor owners’ suite, 2½ baths, walk-out basements and an attached two-car front-load garage.
Townhomes from both series feature modern facades with cohesive design details including gray siding, cedar wood accents and black brick.
Just beyond the private enclave of Northwoods of Naperville, residents will have access to the Freedom Commons and Danada Square shopping centers as well as the Route 59 retail corridor, all of which offer a variety of restaurants, retailers and professional service providers. And only a short drive from the community is downtown Naperville, with its numerous community events, festivals, specialty stores, independent boutiques, eateries, bars and other businesses. For outdoor recreation, both Herrick Lake Forest Preserve and Danada Forest Preserve offer hiking, biking and fishing, while Arrowhead Country Club is also nearby for golf.
Northwoods of Naperville is served by Naperville Central High School, Jefferson Junior High School and Bebee Elementary School.
