Idyllic lifestyle beckons from prime Olathe location

Tucked within picturesque terrain across from Lake Olathe and adjacent to Prairie Highlands Golf Course, Huntford is a welcoming retreat for homeowners who crave quiet, semi-secluded scenery that’s just minutes away from recreation, dining and services.

In addition to being just minutes away from the abundant recreation opportunities at Lake Olathe (which is currently in the midst of a $30 million expansion), Huntford residents are also within the boundaries of the newly built Olathe West High School, which will open this fall.

Within the community, a stately stone entrance greets Huntford residents. And once inside Huntford, the thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship of Inspired Homes takes center stage.

Prospective homeowners who want to move to Huntford now and make the most of summer fun and recreation opportunities can choose from two homes that are immediately available. A spacious Pecota ranch floor plan—an Inspired Homes customer favorite—offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,760 square feet of living space priced at $327,515. The open layout is further enhanced by an expansive great room with gas fireplace and a cathedral ceiling.

A reverse 1½-story Pecota floor plan with four bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms and a 3-car garage is also available, priced at $356,810. Features include a luxurious master suite complete with a huge walk-in closet and oversized shower. The spacious kitchen includes granite countertops and an island that offers a prime view of the great room fireplace. Downstairs, a recreation room is the ideal place to gather, play or simply relax.

Buyers that have the ability to wait on their perfect home can choose to build and select a plan from an appealing mix of ranch, reverse 1½-story and two-story homes. The current selection of floor plans includes a wide variety of price points and square footages to accommodate a multitude of lifestyles. The plans have been designed with features that speak to today’s buyers, including boot benches, lofts, home offices, large walk-in pantries, bedroom level laundry, and ample storage.

Additionally, the unique landscape of Huntford offers an enticing selection of homesites. Flat, daylight, and walkout lots dot the gently rolling terrain of the community. Coveted greenspace locations that back to a pond, as well as Prairie Highlands golf course, are still available.

No matter which floor plan you choose, all of Inspired Homes’ floor plans aren’t just designed for aesthetic appeal and optimal livability—they’re also built to last without burdening homeowners with excessive exterior maintenance. For example, each home offers James Hardie® siding, which offers a 15-year color warranty and 30-year performance warranty and “stands far and above what a homeowner might find in other homes,” said Todd Lipschutz, president, Inspired Homes.

Additionally, Inspired Homes gives homeowners peace of mind with a comprehensive warranty that includes 1-year coverage on material and workmanship; a 2-year systems warranty on the workability of plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems; and 10-year structural coverage. The warranty is one of several ways that Inspired Homes maintains a commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience from start to finish.

“Ultimately, we listen to the buyers, so we’ve created a business to provide the best experience and security for the customer,” Lipschutz said.

That includes the recent creation of a new role within the company: New Home Advisor. Whitney O’Reilly, formerly the community manager of Inspired Homes’ community Kensington Farms, now works with prospective buyers to understand their needs, then match them with the Inspired Homes community and floor plan that’s the best fit.

“This role is a huge part of the homebuying and building journey for our guests,” said Melanie Osterhaus, Director of Marketing and Communications, Inspired Homes. “We want them to have someone they can connect with that they know will have the information they need and can help them get to the next phase of their journey.”

And for O’Reilly, the new role is a chance to channel her love of real estate into helping people.

“This is such a great opportunity,” she said. “I’m grateful to be working with a caring and professional team that’s passionate about building people’s dreams.”
