The kitchen opens to the family room in the Forester model at The Enclave in Libertyville where homes start in the mid $600s.
A new model has been introduced at The Enclave at the Reserve at The Merit Club in Libertyville by Merit Homes.
Priced from $715,000, the three-bedroom, 2˝-bath ranch model has a great room with vaulted ceiling, two-story stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen opens to the family room and has a center island, rounded eating nook, and separate breakfast room.
On one side of the home is a master bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and master bath showcasing dual vanities. Providing privacy for the owner and guests, there are two bedrooms on the other side of the home. Bedroom two has a bay window and connects to the other bedroom through a shared bathroom.
The 17-home Enclave is part of a gated community called the Reserve at the Merit Club which is comprised of 102 semi-custom homes and 26 one-acre custom homes on 100 acres of rolling land.
A natural landscape of scenic rock gardens, sparkling ponds and colorful wildflowers surround the homes. Most residences have views of the Merit Club, an 18-hole private golf course that is ranked as one of the top 100 courses in the world by Golf and Travel Magazines. Several years ago, The Merit Club hosted the U.S. Women’s’ Open.
Merit Homes guarantees its buyers that the natural setting will remain a conservation area and there will be no future development because the site is protected by a conservation easement.
