The Skylark II an all brick ranch model home is now available for immediate occupancy. Located on a beautiful lake lot with peaceful scenic views across the entire rear of the home it offers a relaxing atmosphere when coming home from a hard day’s work.

The Southwest Suburban Home Builders Association has judged the Skylark II model as its July Home of the Month, a credit to its dynamic design, great value, and the modern architecture Stephens and Hayes Construction delivers in this three-bedroom ranch home.

“New home trends have moved in the direction of  large spacious open floor plans” Stephens said, “This 1,703 square feet three-bedroom, two-bath all brick ranch home design maximizes the open floor plan concept. Today’s buyer demands a home that meets their needs for everyday use with less unused space for lower monthly utility costs, and the Skylark II represents this trend.”

The Skylark II’s front door opens into a foyer with a view of the living and dining rooms including vaulted ceilings with plant shelves that provide the homeowner an immediate look at the home’s inviting layout. With three bedrooms on one side of the home, the living, dining rooms, kitchen, and laundry room on the other, the floor plan offers comfort and privacy.

The home includes a master bedroom suite with large walk-in closet and private bath, nine-foot volume hall ceilings, covered entry porch, full basement, and two-car attached garage. The home’s spacious kitchen showcases Stephens and Hayes’ insistence on modern architecture with a dramatic angular design opening up to the living room. The kitchen also includes a dinette and snack bar. 

“We took some of the most compelling design elements past buyers enjoyed and looked for ways to incorporate those features in a practical way,” Stephens said. “The focus was on creating a home that had convenience and style.

This model of the Skylark II includes over $90,000 in upgrades and is now available for sale at Eagles Landing for $239,900, a 30 percent discount from its $335,319 value.

Features on this immediate occupancy home include a premium lake-view home site with full landscaping, all-brick exterior, fireplace with custom-made oak mantle, stainless steel kitchen appliances, natural maple hardwood flooring, living room skylights, and architectural ceilings in all three bedrooms.

“We fashioned this home with many exciting features to showcase the variety of ways that Stephens and Hayes could work with buyers who wanted personalization in the home,” said Stephens, a member of the Home Builders Association of Illinois’ Hall of Fame and lifetime director with the National Association of Home Builders.
