Over the last half century, Hartz Homes has established itself as one of the Chicago area’s most innovative and lively homebuilders, collecting a litany of honors for design and development. Eager to push the limits of design and modern living, Oliviabrook in Oakbrook Terrace sits high among the veteran homebuilder’s most impressive projects to date.
Complacency, after all, has never been a trait Hartz Homes has embraced.
“With Oliviabrook, we wanted to push the envelope from the moment people entered the front door with a feeling of enhanced elegance in every single detail. We feel we created a maintenance-free townhome community that speaks to luxury and value,” said Phil Hartz of Hartz Homes.
A collection of 31 executive townhomes in the sought-after west suburban community of Oakbrook Terrace, luxury defines every aspect of Oliviabrook’s construction, design, and detailing: natural light pours in from oversized windows; architectural ceilings provide elegant detail; and designer trim and moldings encase each home’s rooms in style and dimension.
“From the flooring to the appliances, we’ve upgraded every aspect of the home’s design and construction to produce townhomes that excel in every area and meet the highest of expectations,” Hartz said. “These are not status quo homes; these are townhomes that reach for splendor.”
Buyers at Oliviabrook, located in a park-like setting with a pond and walking path, select from one of two luxury townhome plans starting at $449,900: the Windsor and Tarleton.
A two or three-bedroom, two-bath ranch townhome, the Windsor includes a study and full basement. Covering nearly 1,800 square feet, the Windsor has the spaciousness and style of a single-family home along with the option to add a full bathroom and bedroom in the home’s lower level for additional living space.
Highlighted by a roomy first-floor master suite, the two-story Tarleton townhome plan features three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a dramatic loft space. With its open floor plan, the Tarleton’s 2,700 square feet of living space blends modern living with posh design elements, such as decorative ceilings and a three-sided fireplace, to produce a home high on character and class.
Upgraded finishes blanket the Oliviabrook townhomes. Kitchens are appointed with granite countertops, G.E. stainless steel appliances, and Aristokraft oak and maple staggered-height cabinetry, while bathrooms feature whirlpool tubs, ceramic-tiled tub walls and showers, and raised-height oak and maple vanities.
Both townhome plans include an attached two-car garage, full basements, and maintenance-free living courtesy of snow removal and landscaping service. In a further sign of Hartz Homes’ thoughtful design, Oliviabrook homes also carry the ENERGY STAR credential, which confirms superior energy efficiency.
With their brick, stone, and stucco exteriors, the townhomes at Oliviabrook possess unique curb appeal and define the residences’ insistence on high-end materials and architectural style.
“We’ve done our part to pack these homes with luxury features and finishes that mark the homes as exquisite and stylish,” Hartz said.
Oliviabrook’s convenient location in Oakbrook Terrace affords residents plenty of options for an active, engaged lifestyle. Golf courses and forest preserves sit nearby as does the ever-popular Oak Brook Center, an expansive commercial complex filled with upscale shopping, dining, and recreational options.
“Oliviabrook offers stunning townhomes in a stunning community,” Hartz said.
Oliviabrook is located on the north side of Butterfield Road (Route 56) between Route 83 and Midwest Rod. The sales office and two fully decorated townhome models are open Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday from 11am to 5pm.
