Greens of Chapel Creek Offers A Grand Parade of Homes

There’s so much for Parade attendees to take in on the coveted streets of the Greens of Chapel Creek. Located off of 68th Street in Shawnee, Rodrock Development’s gorgeous golf-course community feels tucked away from the bustle of city living, yet is minutes from major metropolitan destinations. And with 2-story and reverse-1.5-story plans on the Fall Parade of Homes, tour-goers have a fantastic array of options.

Among the community’s offerings is Prieb Homes’ Ellsworth, an awesome 5-bedroom, 4-bath 2-story home with 10-foot ceilings that backs to the golf course fairway and lake.

“This 2-story home was specially designed for open flow and ease of living,” says community manager Bob Sloan. “The nicely appointed kitchen and hearth open directly into a breakfast nook and Great Room. Both a front porch and covered patio bring the outside in, while an impressive foyer and dining room lend themselves to more formal affairs.”

The Ellsworth also has a breathtaking 2-story entry with a large stone pillar, while the spacious kitchen makes for easy family living and entertaining. The master bath has upgraded faucets and sinks, a walk-in shower, and freestanding tub—all surrounded by custom-designed paneling.

Meanwhile, the Pinehurst by James III Homes boasts 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths in a unique 2-story plan. The home is laden with beautiful design elements, including random-width hardwood floors and a stunning open kitchen with large island. The spacious dining area has a high vaulted ceiling with stained beams, while entertaining effortlessly moves out-of-doors to a covered lanai with wide arched openings, along with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

Rounding out the Parade offerings is James Engle Custom Homes’ Laurel Reverse Expanded. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home offers all of its namesake’s amazing features plus a 2-foot wider kitchen, breakfast room, and deck. The breakfast room also has a vaulted ceiling and three arched transom windows across the back, while the Great Room features four sets of windows with transoms. The fireplace has been moved to the interior wall of the Great Room so it can adjoin the impressive master suite.

And while not officially on Parade, the Greens of Chapel Creek also has several homes ready for curious homebuyers.

“Hilmann Home Building has two exciting opportunities for a buyer looking for a fantastic lot and view,” says Bob. “The Middleton IV is a beautiful 5-bedroom, 4-bath, 2-story that sits at the back of a cul-de-sac and backs to the golf course and small lake. And just across the road are two more homes—the Ellsworth and the Middleton IV—each with walkout lower levels, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and terrific views of the golf course. Finally, James III Homes has a new plan called the Jacobson, which is a wonderful 2-story home that is a steal coming in under $470,000.”

But the finely detailed homes are really only the beginning of what makes this community so beguiling. In addition to Erfurt Park, the Greens of Chapel Creek also boasts a zero-entry infinity pool with fountain, changing cabana, and picnic area. As well, Rodrock Development’s Moms’ Council helps ensure a variety of community-building events, including pumpkin-carving contests, holiday hayrides, and more. And since the community is located in the award-winning DeSoto School District, the Greens of Chapel Creek is an ideal location for growing families.

And it goes without saying that a huge selling point for many a resident is the Shawnee Golf & Country Club, which offers not only one-of-a-kind views but also affordable club memberships for both families and individuals. The club boasts a 27-hole championship golf course, four sets of tee boxes, an aqua driving range, three swimming pools, tennis court, fitness center, and luxurious club house with women’s and men’s locker rooms and dining facilities.

“We are so thrilled for Parade goers to see all that the Greens of Chapel Creek has to offer on this year’s Fall Parade of Homes,” says Brenda Sanders, President of Rodrock & Associates, Realtors®. “And we’re truly excited to partner with Unruh Furniture, which makes the most incredible handmade, heirloom furniture, right here in Kansas City. Parade-goers can register to win a custom dining set—worth up to $5,000—simply by stopping by our model homes through Oct. 8th! Unruh Furniture takes extraordinary pride in their work. Our lucky winner can even watch the talented carpenters make their custom table in the company’s gorgeous 100-year-old converted church building.”
