The neighborhood is also within walking distance of downtown Sycamore and is minutes from the I-88 employment corridor, Northern Illinois University and Kishwaukee Hospital, part of Northwestern Medicine.
“Holiday gatherings and visiting friends and family often motivate buyers to reconsider their lifestyle needs at this time of year,” said Anna Harmon, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Shodeen Homes, family-owned-and-operated builder for more than 60 years. “Our ranch and two-story homes are entertainment worthy with spacious island kitchens open to dining and family room areas and homes, such as the Peachtree offer four bedrooms and a flex room ideal for visiting guests.”

“With cold winter weather around the corner and rising utility costs, buyers have peace-of-mind knowing that our homes are 40% more efficient than homes built just 10 years ago,” Harmon said. “Our homes also include a 1,5-and-10-year warranty. The first year is a comprehensive home warranty where we follow up with homeowners at 30 days and 11 months after move-in to make sure any warranty issues are addressed. The home is also insured for five years for water penetration in the foundation and for 10 years on major structural elements.”
