To satisfy the wishes of Illinois home buyers, Gerstad Builders has added a new ranch floor plan at Liberty Trails in McHenry. The Washington features approximately 1,844 square feet of stair-free living space and represents the seventh ranch plan offered in our portfolio of homes.

Currently, a Washington model home is under construction and will be completed by Aug. 7, 2015 for your viewing. Filled with many upgrades and optional high-end amenities, including a full basement and three-car garage, this home is priced at $294,525.

This three bedroom, two bath floor plan displays a welcoming foyer leading into the spacious great room. This space is finished with a decorative 10-foot tray ceiling, and the stunning oversized windows allow the home to be filled with lots of natural sunlight.

The home’s L-shaped kitchen features quality cabinets with optional granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a ceramic floor tile and a large island that accommodates four stools.

The Washington plan also features one of the largest master bedrooms we offer when enlarged like the master suite shown in the model home. The room is complete with a deluxe private bath complete with a large soaking tub, dual bowl vanity and separate shower as well as a roomy walk-in closet.

“The Washington plan is specifically designed to satisfy the increasing number of home buyers looking for a stair-free lifestyle and an open floor plan that allows open sight lines between important rooms like the family room, kitchen and dining area,” said Roger Gerstad, president of Gerstad Builders.

Located in the quiet McHenry community, Liberty Trails is within a short drive of Chicago thanks to its easy access to the nearby METRA station and expressway. The community is also close to the area’s hospital, as well as multiple shopping and dining options. Finally, the community is part of the sought-after McHenry school system.

Liberty Trails’ sales center is located on Lincoln Road, approximately one mile west of Chapel Hill Road and north of Route 120. The model home will be open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, please call 815-385-4495, or visit www.gerstadbuilders.com.
