Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) November 29, 2011 - K. Hovnanian® Homes® received four prestigious Gold Key Awards for design excellence from the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago (HBAGC). The Key Awards were established in 1972 to recognize excellence in architecture, interior design, merchandising, housing design, landscaping, and remodeling. In the nearly 40 years since its inception, it has grown into one of the premier housing awards programs in the country.

In the interior design category, two of K. Hovnanian's® brand-new models were recognized for outstanding merchandising-the Regency at Regency Estates in St. Charles for single-family homes with 2,501 to 2,800 square feet and the Morton at Glenrise Grove in Glen Ellyn for single-family homes larger than 3,402 square feet. Both models also received Gold Key Awards for architectural design for single-family production homes.

A classic two-story, the Morton has 3,167 square feet, four bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, and a three-car garage for a base price of $469,995. The main level provides the perfect balance of private and gathering spaces. The adjoining living and dining rooms create a flexible layout for formal entertaining while the back of the home is the casual family zone with the kitchen, breakfast area and family room all open to each other. Optional French doors add a sense of seclusion to the first-floor home office for when quiet time is needed. Upstairs, storage space abounds with walk-in closets in three of the four bedrooms-including two in the owner's suite, which also has a luxury master bath.

The Morton model now is open at Glenrise Grove, where only a limited number of homesites are available. Nestled among existing single-family residences and mature trees, Glenrise Grove offers the rare combination of an established neighborhood and newly built homes. Two miles away is downtown Glen Ellyn with quaint shopping and dining. For commuters, interstates 355, 88 and 290 are nearby as are Metra stations. Children living in Glenrise Grove attend schools in highly acclaimed districts 87 and 41.

All two-story designs, the homes at Glenrise Grove have 2,517 to 3,445 square feet of space and boast numerous interior appointments and stylish exteriors. They are base priced from $409,995 to $494,995.
Base prices range from $259,995 to $334,995 for the homes at Regency Estates, where two-stories have 2,131 to 3,044 square feet of space, three or four bedrooms plus lofts, 2-1/2 baths, full basements, two-car garages, and open layouts. Outside, each plan has at least six exterior variations, all with classic architectural detailing, to create a unified yet diverse neighborhood ambiance.

The award-winning Regency is one of four new designs unveiled at Regency Estates. It has 3,044 square feet of living space, four bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths. An open layout showcases the family room, kitchen and breakfast area flowing together so mom or dad can keep a watchful eye on the children as they play. The combined living/dining room offers flexibility for entertaining, and a first-floor study provides a quiet place for doing homework or working at home. Upstairs, the master suite has two walk-in closets-plenty of space for his and her wardrobes-along with a private master bath. The three secondary bedrooms share a full bath and a loft adds extra living space on the second floor, making it an ideal media nook, gaming station, play area, or more. For convenience, the laundry room also is positioned on the upper level.

Regency Estates benefits from a convenient location just 1-1/2 miles from downtown St. Charles, recently named the "#1 Best Town For Families" by Family Circle magazine. Shopping and entertainment can be found along the Randall Road corridor, and easy commuting also is available with Metra stations, Interstate 90 and Interstate 88 all nearby. Children growing up at Regency Estates attend acclaimed Community Unit School District 303.
