Radcliffe Development Corporation is catering to ”pampered” northwest suburban apartment-dwellers at Bourbon Square near Long Grove and at the Mansions of Mt. Shire in Arlington Heights.
”Spacious floor plans, amenities and private recreational facilities set on landscaped grounds provide more than a place to live,” said Gail Saladino, marketing manager. ”It establishes a way of life.”
Both Bourbon Square and Mt. Shire feature a variety of one- and two-bedroom plans, renting from $699, and ranging in size from l,350 to l,440 square feet of living space.
”Even residents who eventually want to buy a home for investment purposes continue to rent at our communities. They find it difficult to have to give up the affordability of their lifestyle here,” Saladino said.
Only two residences per floor and two entrances per residence assure privacy. Security entrances further enhance each tenant`s privacy.
”Each apartment has a private patio or balcony with outdoor storage facilities for patio furniture and barbecue supplies,” Saladino said. ”Warm weather entertaining is designed into each apartment.”
Wall-to-wall carpeting and a wood-burning fireplace appoint the living room. A formal dining area accommodates guests for dinner parties. A modern European-style kitchen adjoins the dining area. Kitchens are appointed with a dishwasher, double-bowl stainless steel sink, disposer, self-defrosting refrigerator, microwave oven, range and oven and a large pantry. A breakfast area provides space for smaller, informal meals.
Baths are finished with wall-to-wall mirrors in the vanity area, and in the one-bedroom plan the main bath features a built-in Roman soaking tub and double-bowl vanities. Bedrooms have walk-in closets, double rows of shelving and ceiling fans.
Extensive insulation, masonry construction, smoke alarms, insulated glass, air conditioning and central heating with an energy-efficient heat pump assure individual climate control. Each building has parking facilities and private laundry rooms.
Model homes for Bourbon Square are located at Lake Cook and Hicks Roads.
