With the sheer abundance of builders’ model homes in the city, remembering which is which can be a daunting task, but having a memorable name helps. The Pinnacle II stands out as not only does its name have a distinct memorable quality but also its intelligent design really does make it worthy of the title.

The name says it all for this elegant Sterling Homes show home in the northwest community of Evanston, as the Pinnacle II shows off the height of style and functionality that the builder has established a name for.

The Pinnacle II’s design range and the flexibility of its open floor plan has made it one of the builder’s most popular models. And it is easy to see why with a trip through the show home.

It is a home built with entertainment in mind, large open spaces and a grand kitchen that holds it all together. It is a veritable crowd-pleaser—meaning it provides a perfect backdrop for large gatherings.

Yet even though it has an open floor plan, distinct separation from one area to the next still exists on the 1,030-square-foot main floor. The subtle way these delineations were made leaves some privacy without impeding the flow of the main floor layout, giving a feeling of cosiness and an intimate appeal.

The flex room off the front entrance provides extra living space, which can be used as a formal dining room or as a spacious home office. The oversized mudroom off the garage entrance is an added convenience well hidden from the rest of the main floor so homeowners won’t have to be embarrassed by dirty laundry when unexpected guests arrive.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, the Pinnacle II show home gives visitors the huge potential this room can have in turning the home into a true study in elegance. Granite countertops, stately cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and modern fixtures all combine to give it a sheen of rare sophistication and grace.

The master bedroom has an eloquence to it with a vaulted ceiling and ornately luxurious four-piece ensuite with his-and-hers vanities and a corner soaker tub and a huge walk-in closet.

But the beauty of the home is that there aren’t very many upgrades in it, which allows visitors to really gain a true appreciation of what the Pinnacle II has to offer. Vaulted ceilings in bonus room, master bedroom and its attached ensuite are standard, as are arched entry- ways and rounded corners, which really make a difference in creating an air of easy style and the abundance of natural lighting through the big windows found throughout the home also adds to this effect.

Another reason why the Pinnacle II seems an appropriate name for this particular showhome is its location on a hillside in the idyllic northwest community of Evanston. The community offers plenty of recreational opportunities with its bike paths and walkways and a panoramic view of the valley below, including the Country Hills golf course and the sandstone bluffs nearby. Evanston offers residents a serene environment where one can enjoy the natural beauty of the grasslands in the Symons Valley and West Nose Creek areas.
