Olde Stone Village is a community in southwest suburban Chicago of Frankfort and Graf Construction built an example of their fine custom homes that was recognized as the October 2009 ‘Home of the Month’ by the Southwest Suburban Home Builders Association (SSHBA).  This 8,000 square foot high-quality old English County style model called the ‘Cotswald Cottage’ and is on the market for $2 million.

According to Don Graf, president of Graf Construction, the new model represents an opportunity for home-buyers who appreciate the finest craftsmanship, quality materials and outstanding architecture to live in Frankfort. Located two miles west of LaGrange Road and a half mile south of Laraway Road at Stegar Road, Olde Stone Village homesites range from a 1/3 to 1 acre lots.

The home features wood shake shingles on a steep pitch roof with copper flashing together with the brick and stone cut exterior.  The home has a 3 car garage with custom garage doors and a stone-walled courtyard surrounded by a lushly landscaped yard.  The entry has a dramatic foyer complete with 14″ inlaid marble and rich 3-piece crown moulding along the ceiling.  The home has a library to the immediate right of the front entrance and contains floor to ceiling custom built shelving.

Moving to the kitchen, the floors are made of tumbled marble tiles and stained antique green cabinetry capture the ambiance of an old English kitchen.  The counters are made of black granite and the sink is farmer style made of copper.  The center of the kitchen features a huge free-standing food preparation island and allows for up to 16 people to stand around it making a perfect place for gatherings and entertaining.  To top off the kitchen, the appliance package is top of the line with a Wolfe range with dual ovens and built-in Sub Zero refrigerator.
