STREAMWOOD, IL, November 18, 2005 -- Citing the pending closeout of Marquette Woods in Streamwood, IL, Dartmoor Homes has approved the sale of its professionally decorated and landscaped Dunhaven model. With a total of only about five high-end homes remaining for sale in the peaceful community, the time is right to get an exceptionally good deal on a model home that includes wall coverings, draperies, built-in bookcases and landscaping at an attractive price. This old-world inspired home with brick elevation provides 4,170 square feet of two-story living space. 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. Marquette Woods is set on an 18-acre parcel of wooded property that is perfect for the construction of a luxurious home. Homesites are at least a fourth of an acre in size, guaranteeing privacy, and because of the rolling characteristics of the land, the construction of a walkout or English basement is possible.

In addition to the decorated home available within the community, homebuyers still have a variety of two-story homes to choose from. These four-bedroom homes offer 3,210 to 4,568 square feet of living space and typically feature vaulted ceilings (per plan), central air-conditioning, recessed art niches, masonry fireplaces, site-finished hardwood flooring, furniture quality cabinets with 42" uppers and basements.

Everyone will be impressed with the size of the Dunhaven 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, living room and family room. Optional architectural details like decorative columns, trayed ceilings in dining room and master bedroom, and a handcrafted stone mantel are abundant as well. "Our heavily optioned Dunhaven model illustrates the craftsmanship found in each of our luxury homes," emphasized Pat Taylor, President of Dartmoor Homes. "One look at the custom staircase, the family room's vaulted ceiling, or the granite countertops on the maple kitchen cabinets and a visitor will instantly know that quality and customization are the pillars on which our company stands."

Within the fully appointed Dunhaven model are four bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, separate family, living and dining rooms, library, two-story entry foyer and three-car garage.

Prospective homeowners will be drawn into the home's two-story foyer and lead toward the spacious family room with vaulted ceiling trimmed with crown molding. The family room, 18' x 21', is warmed by a wood-burning fireplace with stone surround and lit up by a wall of windows that stretch from floor to ceiling.

Family chefs will be overwhelmed with the kitchen/breakfast room. This kitchen and breakfast area includes a handy food preparation island and Jenn-Air appliances (cook top, double oven, dishwasher and microwave). This large area with ample storage provided by custom hardwood cabinets was designed for the homeowner's convenience. Expansive optional granite counter tops provide more than enough space on which to prepare favorite meals. Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is the library with optional built-in bookcases, a perfect situation for people who need a home office or space for a fine book collection. If the library isn't desired, the room could be converted to a media room or a fifth bedroom, perfect for in-laws or unexpected guests.

The centerpiece of the upstairs living quarters is the elegant master bedroom and bath suite. The master bedroom features a stunning tray ceiling, a dual entry door and an enormous walk-in closet. The master bath is equipped with two sinks, private commode, linen closet, shower and large whirlpool tub. The other three bedrooms range from 14' x 12' to 13'8" x 11'6" and all feature oversized closets. A full-size bath with dual washbasins is easily accessible to two of the bedrooms and the third bedroom has a full-size private bathroom of its own. Marquette Woods is located 1/4 mile east of Route 59, just north of Lake Street. Dartmoor's sales center and decorated model are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment.
