Finnegan Construction :: In the News. SSHBA Home of the Month

FINNEGAN CONSTRUCTION OF ERIN HILLS IN HOMER GLEN
SELECTED AS “HOME OF THE MONTH” BY SSHBA

Homer Glen, IL (May 1, 2007) – Finnegan Construction Company continues to enhance its reputation as one of the finest custom homebuilders by introducing a new professionally decorated model at Erin Hills in Homer Glen. Recognized by the Southwest Suburban Home Builders Association as its “Home of the Month” the $798,000 (base priced) Monaghan model represents the quality and style of custom homes offered in the final phase of Erin Hills. This old-world inspired home with brick and stone elevation provides 3,515 square feet of two-story living space.

Everyone will be impressed with the size of the Monaghan and the luxurious amenities and architectural details sprinkled throughout. Space-enhancing, 9-foot tall ceilings are found in every room on the main level, with the exception of dramatic two-story ceilings in the foyer, great room and cathedral ceiling in the study. Architectural details like trayed ceilings in dinette and master bedroom, and a handcrafted masonry fireplace are abundant as well. Of course upscale amenities are to be found everywhere. From the built-in stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, to the whirlpool tub in the master suite, all the details have been attended to.

“Our heavily optioned Monaghan model illustrates the craftsmanship and long list of options offered in each and every one of our luxury homes,” emphasized Mike Finnegan, President of Finnegan Construction Co. “One look at the decorative columns flanking the dining room, the family room’s two story tall windows, or the granite countertops on the maple kitchen cabinets and a family will quickly realize that quality and customization are the foundation on which our company is built.”

Within the fully appointed Monaghan model are three bedrooms, a bonus room, four bathrooms, separate great room, formal dining room, study and a two-story entry foyer with ceramic tile that looks like slate.

Prospective homeowners will be drawn into the home's two-story foyer and lead toward the spacious family room with two-story ceiling and oak flooring. Open to the second floor with a Juliet balcony, the great room, 20' x 20', is warmed by a wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround and lit up by a wall of windows that stretch two stories in height.

Situated at the front of the home is a fantastic study, a perfect situation for people who need a home office or space for a fine book collection. If a library isn't desired, the room could be converted to a computer room or a fourth bedroom with access to a full bath, perfect for in-laws or unexpected guests. Also overlooking the front yard is a stunning dining room with arched entryways, designer ceiling with two piece crown molding, hardwood flooring with inlaid border, bay windows and recessed china hutch.

Family chefs will be overwhelmed with the kitchen/breakfast room. This kitchen and breakfast area includes a handy food preparation island that is perfectly balanced between the stainless steel refrigerator, double oven, dishwasher and built-in microwave. Inspired by the farm kitchens of country life, this large area with ample storage provided by custom hardwood cabinets was designed for the homeowner's convenience. Expansive granite counter tops provide more than enough space on which to prepare favorite meals. The large walk-in food pantry holds enough groceries to satisfy the hungriest families. Appointed with Thermador brand appliances, Finnegan Construction Co. has taken care to see that every homeowner's culinary need is achieved. Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is the octagon shaped dinette area with two-piece crown molding and a French door that provides access to custom paver patio.

The centerpiece of the upstairs living quarters is the elegant master bedroom and bath suite. The master bedroom features a stunning tray ceiling and one enormous walk-in closet. The octagon shaped master bath is equipped with two sinks, private commode, shower and large whirlpool tub. The other two bedrooms range from 13'6” x 12' to 20'8” x 13' and all feature spacious closets. A full-size bath is accessible to one of the bedrooms and the other bedroom has access to its own private full–size bathroom suite.

In addition to the Monaghan model at Erin Hills, Finnegan Construction Co. offers homebuyers the opportunity to select a home from its extensive library of blueprints and then modify them to meet their lifestyle. If homebuyers desire, Finnegan stands ready to design a luxury home from a fresh sheet of paper as well. The company is eager to make these types of alterations because it has more than 40 years of construction experience and has carefully constructed hundreds of luxury, custom homes.

Homebuyers seeking a one-of-a-kind luxury home will be pleased with Finnegan’s attention to detail and its ability to construct homes finished with solid core interior doors, fireplaces with various surrounds, stamped colored concrete or brick paver driveways, central vacuum systems, intercoms, fully landscaped lots with in-ground sprinkler systems and deluxe covered porches with hot tubs and more.
