Seasoned home buyers know that purchasing a home prior to the model opening is sometimes difficult. Oftentimes, buyers have trouble reading blueprints and cannot visualize the finished home. A small window of opportunity exists between the time the home is drywalled and its completion. That is when a potential buyer can walk through a partially completed home and check the layout, room sizes and traffice flow of the floor plan.

For these reasons, Northbrook based Ferris Homes has always believed in giving buyers the opportunity to see the exceptional product that they build and has consistently built models at all of their communities. Ferris Homes has just completed construction of its single family model at their prestigious Liberty Grove community in Libertyville, IL. Located adjacent to Independence Grove, an award winning forest preserve of 1100 untouched acres of nature preserve overlooking a pristine 115-acre lake, homeowners will enjoy maintenance free living. The model has been decorated by Susan Ferris Interiors, an award winning interior decorator who has won Key Awards for her work in Interior Design for their work at the Ashton Park community in Glenview. Their townhouse model will open at Liberty Grove in late June.

Liberty Grove in Libertyville is no different,” says Andrew Ferris, President of the firm that bears his name. “We are excited for prospective buyers to come out and view our beautiful models, one single family and one townhome model, and see what this community has to offer.”

At Liberty Grove in Libertyville, prospective homeowners can choose from 18 classically designed single family homes and 30 town homes – all embraced by their natural surroundings and built by premiere homebuilder, Ferris Homes.

The single family home model, The Aspen, has 2,492 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, and includes a first floor master bedroom suite with two additional bedrooms – each with a walk-in closet, and a large, shared bath. The upstairs bedrooms are adjacent to a loft area which overlooks the foyer below. The first floor has a study with box bay windows, great room with fireplace and Tray ceiling, separate dining room and island kitchen. There is a powder room, guest closet and laundry room off the foyer.
