Today’s empty nest homebuyers are more discerning than ever and the homes of Henning Estates have proven to be especially appealing to this growing demographic.
Henning Estates is a semi-custom ranch home community soaring in popularity among empty nesters in search of a superior quality new home. Single-story living, open concept designs, oversized home sites and semi-custom options are just a few of the community’s many features attracting empty nest homebuyers.
Set on the far west side of Huntley, Henning Estates is planned for 103 ranch homes each positioned on a spacious 1/3 acre home site with scenic views of open spaces, wetlands, mature trees or prairie space. Buyers can select from one of six ranch floor plans ranging in size from 1,803 to over 2,422 square feet with pricing beginning in the mid $300s. The base price includes a 1/3 acre home site and a full, unfinished basement. Upon selecting a floor plan buyers have the ability to make semi-custom changes to personalize their home to fit their specific needs.
“Empty nest homebuyers appreciate having the ability to customize their home,” notes Ryan VanLue, president of Rock Creek Homes, developer and builder of Henning Estates. “We’ve rearranged spaces, bumped-out walls, added windows, created outdoor living spaces and oftentimes also finish the basements in our homes. Our process also offers plenty of cosmetic options but what makes our process unique is customizing the structure of the home before putting in all the finishing touches.”
Another appealing aspect of Henning Estates for empty nest homebuyers is the privacy and scenic setting of the community. It’s a tranquil retreat yet it is still close to everyday conveniences with an east/west I-90 interchange just a few miles away. The community is also pet-friendly and the homeowner association guidelines allow for gardens and in-ground swimming pools.
The recently opened Centegra Hospital-Huntley puts state-of-the-art health care just minutes from home. Also nearby are many choices for dining and shopping, golf, parks and walking trails, places of worship and more.
Equally important to empty nest homebuyers are factors including quality workmanship, superior construction and value. When trying to evaluate a builders’ reputation look to past customer testimonials. Rock Creek Homes and Henning Estates have numerous customer testimonials featured on its website at henningestates.com. In addition, they have been recognized by Houzz as “Best in Service” for their many positive testimonials.
On Saturday, Aug. 27, the community will host a special Empty Nest Gathering from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors will be treated to sweets and refreshments as they tour the builders’ two decorated ranch model homes. All registered visitors will also be eligible to win a special “Movie Night” gift basket complete with movie tickets, snacks and more.
“It’s a fun opportunity to spend some time casually touring our homes, enjoying some good company and maybe making a new friend along the way,” says Molly LeSueur, sales coordinator for Rock Creek Homes. “It’s also a great opportunity to learn more about our unique semi-custom building process. Most empty nesters are shopping for their ‘forever’ home to spend retirement years, and they want to include all the special features they’ve always dreamed of. We will work with those requests and that sets us apart from other builders.”
The Henning Estates sales center and two decorated ranch model homes are located at 10406 Oakdale Drive in Huntley. For more information, call 847-338-3821 or visit henningestates.com.
