LAKE ZURICH, IL, December 9, 2005 -- Coventry Creek Estates, a master-planned single'family home community on one the last parcels of property within Lake Zurich, has sold 50% of the semi-custom homes in its first phase of development announced Dartmoor Homes. With more than 17 sales recorded since the onsite sales center opened in August 2005, the community's high-end ranch and two-story floor plans with three-car garages, fireplaces, air conditioning, and basements have proven to be a big hit with move-up homebuyers.

Luxury single-family homes in Coventry Creek Estates provide the best value in the area by including 9-foot first floor ceilings, volume ceilings, finished three-car garages, basements, Colonist 6-panel doors and trim, custom cabinetry, Bosch kitchen appliances (built-in double oven, cook top & dishwasher) and Kohler bath fixtures/faucets. Each brick and Hardie-Siding home is available in a variety of exterior elevations and color schemes and set on a ' to 1/3-acre sodded homesite. Residences will include four or five bedrooms, 2 ' to 3 ' baths, spacious kitchens with ceramic or hardwood flooring, breakfast areas, living rooms, family rooms, formal dining rooms, dens (per plan) and master-bedroom suites on main level (per plan).

As in all other Dartmoor single-family home communities, the builder offers homebuyers the opportunity to extensively modify any available floor plan. No alteration is too complex. Homes can be expanded, additional volume ceilings can be incorporated, and interior and exterior walls can be relocated. If the homebuyer desires it, Dartmoor will make it happen. The company is eager to make these types of alterations because it has more than 20 years of experience in the custom homebuilding industry.

Dartmoor Homes, a builder who has gained a reputation for preserving the environment and promoting the creation of green space in all its communities, has designed Coventry Creek Estates to be sensitive to its natural surroundings. The community, set along a natural creek on its northern border, is designed to work with Mother Nature. As a result of the land's rolling topography, a significant number of the homesites accommodate the construction of a home with an optional walkout or lookout basement.

Coventry Creek Estates residents will appreciate the community's laid back lifestyle, as well as its proximity to transportation, shopping and recreational amenities. Although Dartmoor Homes will offer beautiful, well-crafted single-family homes, of equal importance are the village in which the new community sits and the schools that educate its children. Families with school-age children will be pleased to know that kids will attend grade school District 96 of Kildeer/Long Grove and teens will attend highly acclaimed Stevenson High School District 125.
