May 29, 2009 - PRLog -- South Barrington, IL -- Toll Brothers, the nation’s leading luxury home builder, is proud to announce the grand opening of the newest section of homes at The Woods of South Barrington in prestigious South Barrington, Illinois. The exclusive enclave is located north of Penny Road between Rt. 59 (New Sutton Road) and Bartlett Road and will feature the builder’s award-winning Signature and Estate Collection homes.  Those ready to take advantage of historic low mortgage rates and the best values ever offered by Toll Brothers should visit the community during the grand opening weekend, Friday, May 29 through Sunday, May 31, 2009, at the community sales center located on the east side of Rt.59, ½ mile south of Penny Road.
           “The opening of this highly-anticipated new section marks the return of our largest semi-custom homes,” said Andy Stern, Senior Vice President.  “We’ve been sold out of these incredibly popular home designs for over a year and we are thrilled to finally offer them once again,” he added.  
   Sixteen Signature Collection home sites with gorgeous scenic views are available ranging from ¾- to 1 ½-acres.  Several parcels offer walk-out or look-out basements.  The spectacular homes have four to five bedrooms, 3 ½ to 4 ½ baths, and 3,900 to over 5,000 square feet of luxurious space as well as an impressive list of included features providing an incredible value for today’s home buyer.  Prices start at just over $1 million.
   Also available are 29 Estate Collection ½-acre minimum home sites.  Priced from the upper $700,000s, the elegant 3,000 – 4,100 square-foot Estate homes showcase two-story family rooms with overlook balconies, secondary staircases, and spacious master suites with private dens.  Currently under construction, the Duke Lexington model home is open for hard hat tours and scheduled to open late Summer 2009.
       Prestigious South Barrington provides the perfect blend of quiet country living, easy access to the Metra and expressways, and city conveniences that so many are searching for today.  Surrounded by beautiful walking trails and preserved open space, The Woods of South Barrington is exceptionally located within South Barrington and just two miles from I-90, is part of the excellent Barrington school district and is within walking distance to the high-end shopping and dining at The Arboretum lifestyle shopping center.  
      Community walking trails lead into the new 35-acre Village of South Barrington Nature Conservancy with its cultural center, walking and biking trails, and ponds.  Families will enjoy the new village park complete with multiple athletic fields. “It is no surprise that this luxurious community has developed into one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Chicagoland,” said Stern.  
   In addition to the single-family homes within this master planned community is a separate enclave of homes for those 55 or better.  Regency at The Woods of South Barrington boasts a gated entrance and resort-style amenities including a 7,500-square-foot clubhouse, exclusively for Regency residents, and complete with a fitness center, activity rooms, and locker rooms as well as an outdoor heated pool, tennis, bocce, and shuffle board courts, and a putting green.  Two models are open to tour.  Six low-maintenance single-family ranch home designs are available ranging from 2,100 – 2,500 square-feet homes and priced from the low $500,000s.
