25% Of The Ranch Townhomes Have Been Sold At Elgin’s Villas At Madison Lane

The opening of a professionally decorated model home has catapulted sales at The Villas at Madison Lane where a quarter of the ranch townhomes have been sold this spring.

Being developed by Meritus Homes in an established residential area on the west side of Elgin, The Villas at Madison Lane boasts open-concept ranch designs—a highly desirable housing style that’s in short supply. To meet this demand for single-level living, Meritus Homes has two Quick Move-In Homes that are already built and are move-in ready. Each has 1,367 square feet of living space, two bedrooms and two full baths, a lookout lower level, attached two-car garage, and deck.

The highlight of these luxurious, low-maintenance, ranch townhomes is their gourmet kitchens, which come equipped with a full suite of stainless steel appliances…including a refrigerator. All new homeowners have to do is unpack and they can start enjoying homecooked meals immediately. Other upscale kitchen touches are 36-inch wall cabinetry with decorative crown molding, soft close cabinet doors and drawers that reduce noise, and a food disposal for quick clean-up.

Additional interior appointments include nine-foot main-floor ceilings for a sense of openness; a walk-in shower in the primary bath; easy-care, luxury, vinyl-plank flooring; three-panel doors; and Moen faucets. Depending on the Quick Move-In Home, finishes such as quartz or granite kitchen countertops, and oil rubbed bronze or chic black light fixtures have been selected. The two ranch townhomes ready for move-in are priced at $416,228 and $422,914.

In addition to the homes already built, Meritus Homes has seven ranch townhomes available to be finished, priced from $389,000. One of the many benefits of new construction is that homebuyers can select their interior finishes, fixtures, colors, and more to create a home that truly fits their personality and design aesthetic.

A variety of upgrades such as a tray ceiling in the family room and primary bedroom, a second sink on the primary bath, den in lieu of the secondary bedroom, washer, dryer, laundry tub, and bench in the back hall are offered in the ranch plans at The Villas at Madison Lane. And while lookout basements are included, Meritus Homes offers the option of finishing the space with a living room, bedroom and bath. This creates a private environment for overnight guests or college students home for the summer, and is also an ideal layout for entertaining.

Priding itself on its quality craftsmanship, Meritus Homes uses Tyvek® house wrap, ice and water shield protection for the roof, 90-percent-efficiency gas forced-air furnaces, 40-gallon high-efficiency water heaters, R-21 wall and R-49 ceiling insulation, and 2-by-6 exterior wall construction for energy-efficiency.

Outside, all ranch townhomes at The Villas at Madison Lane feature classic architecture accented with brick detailing along with professional landscaping and fully sodded yards to create an attractive streetscape. Best of all, individual homesite lawn care and all common area maintenance is handled by the homeowner’s association, making for carefree living. That means owners who move in this spring won’t have to worry about cutting their grass this summer, raking leaves in the fall, or shoveling snow next winter.

With their free time, homeowners can take advantage of nearby recreational areas such as Hawthorne Hill Nature Center, Powder River Park and Eagle/Burnridge Park, and the Elgin Sports Complex. Plus, a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment venues abound just a mile away along the bustling Randall Road corridor.
