Christina Court, with its convenient location near the heart of downtown Arlington Heights, offers home shoppers an opportunity to purchase new homes in this established suburb.

The K. Hovnanian Homes’ development, located just west of Rand Road and north of Oakton Street, features 13 homesites nestled around a cul-de-sac for an intimate setting. Mature trees surround the neighborhood, adding to its ambience.

In all, four floor plans are available at Christina Court. They offer 3,467 to 4,018 square feet of living space, four bedrooms and 2½ to 3½ baths. Depending on the elevation, exteriors may have front porches, decorative trim, brick or a stone facade. Base prices range from $760,995 to $820,995.

To view a sample of the homes at Christina Court, K. Hovnanian Homes is holding an open house from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. this weekend where visitors can tour a decorated model.

The Victoria at 1312 Christina Court is under construction and scheduled to be complete in February. Buyers can still select interior finishes to add their own personal touches to this house available for quick move-in. The 3,761-square-foot, two-story home is a family favorite with four bedrooms, 3½ baths and a three-car garage.

The formal split-entry foyer boasts a custom oak staircase and wainscoting and is flanked by the living and dining rooms — both accented by bay windows and crown molding. Wainscoting and a chair rail add more elegance to the dining room, where a butler’s pantry leads to the kitchen for serving ease. A pantry provides plenty of storage space along with 42-inch maple upper cabinets. Designer appointments include hardwood flooring, granite countertops, a ceramic tile backsplash, and GE stainless steel appliances.

The gourmet kitchen anchors the informal living zone that spans the back of the home. The adjacent dining area has a bump out with optional door leading to the backyard. The space then opens to the family room where a fireplace adds warmth and character.

Also on the first floor is an office. Optional double French doors create a private place for studying, working or enjoying some down time. The three-car tandem garage offers access to a large mudroom with closet for storing everyone’s winter gear and more.

The laundry room is upstairs for convenience. Also on the second floor are four bedrooms — each with its own walk-in closet. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath while another full bath is in the hall. For extra space there is a bonus room, ideal as a media center, children’s play room, teenager’s gathering room or a hobby nook.

A blend of luxury and coziness, the master suite has his-and-her’s walk-in closets linking the bedroom to the private bath, which has a corner soaking tub, separate shower with ceramic tile surround, dual bowl vanity with granite top, and ceramic tile flooring.

For future expansion, the deep pour basement has a three-piece plumbing rough in. Solid-core doors reduce noise and a Nest thermostat ensures comfort.

Outside, stone accents and architectural detailing complement the established nature of the area.

Visitors can view the Victoria quick move-in home during this weekend’s open house from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Christina Court is near everything downtown Arlington Heights has to offer. To the north of the property is shopping and dining along Rand Road, with a movie theater and additional shopping and dining south on Rand Road, as well. The Arlington Heights Metra station is minutes from the community and John Hersey High School is only a few blocks away.

The Christina Court sales center and decorated model is located at 1304 Christina Court and is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more information this weekend’s open house, call (331) 701-7854 or visit www.khov.com/ChristinaCourt.
