Chicago-based Lexington Homes has announced that sales have surpassed the 50-percent-sold milestone at Lexington Pointe, its new community of 58 maintenance-free townhomes in downtown Des Plaines, Ill. In addition, the builder noted that two highly upgraded townhomes are available for immediate move-in at the community.

Located at 841 Lee St., townhomes at Lexington Pointe have two to three bedrooms, 2½ baths and attached two-car garages. Buyers can choose between two townhome designs measuring from 1,751 to 1,913 square feet, with prices starting from $354,990. The community is conveniently located in walking distance to shopping and dining venues in downtown Des Plaines and puts residents just two blocks from the Des Plaines Metra station.

“The momentum of sales at Lexington Pointe speaks to how buyers know a great value when they see it, as we’ve sold more than half the homes in just one year,” said Jeff Benach, principal of Lexington Homes. “Today’s buyers are very well informed – they know what type of home and location offers the best resale value and what are the most popular finishes and features. From the community’s award-winning floor plans to its prime walkable location in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, Lexington Pointe offers the total package and buyers know that.”

For buyers looking to move into a new home this summer and lock in a mortgage before rates continue to climb, Lexington Pointe offers two immediate-delivery homes that have been appointed with stylish features and finishes chosen by Lexington’s professional design team.

One of the townhomes available for immediate move-in features the Coventry floor plan – a 1,908-square-foot home with three bedrooms and 2½ baths. It is priced at $369,950.

“This is a one-of-a-kind home at Lexington Pointe, as the home site offers extra open green space in the front,” said Benach. “This gives the townhome a little extra space for kids and dogs to play outside, plus it adds to the home’s curb appeal.”

The townhome opens to a foyer that leads down a half-flight of stairs to a finished lower level, which features a flex room ideal for use as a home office, home theater or exercise room. 

A half-flight up from the foyer is the main living level, which has hardwood flooring throughout, a powder room and an expansive open-concept family room, dining room and kitchen. Toward the rear of the home is the kitchen, which includes stylish granite countertops, a stainless-steel appliance package and an oversized island with generous storage space. A large balcony is located off the kitchen.

An oak staircase with wrought-iron railings leads upstairs to the master suite, which features a volume ceiling, large walk-in closet and master bath with a double-bowl vanity. This floor also includes two secondary bedrooms, a hall bath and laundry room.

A second home ready for immediate delivery features the Warrington design. Priced at $386,350, it measures 1,758 square feet and has two master suites, 2½ baths and a den.

“Like our other early-delivery home, this Warrington is also special as it’s an end unit, which means there is not an adjacent home next to it on one side so it provides more privacy and extra windows for additional natural light,” said Benach. 

The home opens to a foyer that leads down a half-flight of stairs to the finished lower level, which includes a flex room, coat closet and access to the attached rear-loading garage. 

A half-flight of stairs up from the foyer is the main level. Just to the right of the staircase is a den/office, which comes with doors so it can be closed off from the main living area. “Buyers really love how the room can be used in a variety of ways – from a home office or play room to a spare room for guests, especially when it’s finished with a sleeper sofa,” said Benach.

The main level also has a powder room, open great room with a gas fireplace and wood mantel, kitchen and dining area. The kitchen features a large island, stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops. A large balcony is off the kitchen.

Upstairs, the home has two master suites, which Benach said is ideal for roommates. The primary master suite has a volume ceiling and an en suite bath with a double-bowl vanity as well as a large walk-in closet.

In addition to touring the two immediate-delivery homes at Lexington Pointe, interested homebuyers can also tour the community’s two decorated models.

Lexington Pointe is close to the many amenities and conveniences of downtown Des Plaines. Active residents will be near a yoga studio and fitness center, as well as an aquatic center and numerous golf courses. The community is conveniently located just a short drive from I-294 and I-90, and also is in proximity to O’Hare International Airport.
