Easton Park in west suburban Carol Stream continues to be one of the most talked about new townhome communities in the western suburbs. This low maintenance Lakewood Homes neighborhood has an unbeatable combination of features that have made it irresistible to buyers who want style, space, convenience and value. The Jamestown floor plan is a perfect example of how well designed and spacious these townhomes are, offering three levels of fully finished living area. Ideally located off North Avenue in Carol Stream, Easton Park has been planned for 270 English row-style townhomes, priced from $299,990. Fully furnished and decorated models are open for tours daily.
“What has made Easton Park a destination townhome community is our beautiful floor plans, which give buyers a stylish exterior look with incredibly flexible layouts on the inside. The Jamestown is the largest and most popular model, with an amazing
amount of space spread over three levels, which gives this home both privacy and luxury,” said Robin Johnson, vice president of sales for Lakewood Homes. “Other factors that have made Easton Park a buyer favorite is a prime location in a well established suburb that is close to shopping and convenient to transportation.”
Lakewood features three townhome floor plans at Easton Park. Each home is expressively styled, with English architectural cues such as stone fronts with Tudor-style exposed wood beams, arched window openings and copper roofs over select windows and doorways. Each home also includes a rear-loading or side-load two-car garage that gives the neighborhood a clean and pleasant appearance.
In addition to the Jamestown, the other models at Easton Park are the Burberry and the Fairmont. The homes are sized from almost 1,900 up to nearly 2,500 square feet, each with an open layout that covers either two or three levels. Features include two to four bedrooms, up to 3-1/2 baths, lofts, living and dining rooms plus large family rooms open to eat-in kitchens. Luxury master suites with a walk-in closet and a private bath are highlighted in each home. Private decks or balconies are also included.
The finished lower levels inside each plan provide highly flexible living space with options for extra bedrooms and baths, convenient storage and access to the two-car attached garages. Some plans feature a second private rear entry adjacent to the garage.
The Jamestown model is a three-level design measuring 2,460 square feet, with two bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, loft, den, private balcony and rear-load two-car garage in its base configuration, priced from $316,990.
The Jamestown begins with a covered front porch that leads into the entry foyer, located on the main stairway landing. Going up a few steps opens into the central combined living and dining area, which features a guest closet and powder room across from the stairs. Select elevations of the Jamestown include a box bay window in the living room.
At the rear of the main level is the family room, which is open to the kitchen and breakfast area. The kitchen has ample counter space and features a corner pantry and a breakfast bar. The private balcony is accessed through the sliding glass doors in the breakfast area. A fireplace is available in the family room.
Upstairs, the Jamestown has an open area at the top of the stairs that is perfect for a computer workstation, bookcases or as a reading area. The laundry room (with optional laundry tub) is just off the top of the stairs and is across from hall bath and hallway linen closet.
The loft in the rear corner can be configured as a third bedroom. The secondary bedroom is in the other corner.
The master suite is located at the front of the home and includes large windows for plenty of natural light, along with a box bay window on select elevations. The master suite also has a generous walk-in closet and a private bath with dual bowl vanity, linen closet and tub/shower combination. Another option for the upstairs level is dual master bedroom suites, each with a full private bath and one or more walk-in closets.
On its lower level, the Jamestown offers a large den or study area, ample under-stair storage and a private rear entry next to the two-car garage. A third bathroom can be added to the lower level, with the option of converting the den into a third or fourth bedroom, making this spot ideal for a related living situation, a private teen retreat or guest suite.
