Oak Run continues to attract buyers to new home phase

Although this year’s Fall Parade of Homes is over, many residential communities around the metro area are continuing to attract a wide array of homebuyers.

Among them is Oak Run.

“We are so pleased with the number of prospective buyers who not only came out to Oak Run during the Fall Parade, but have been calling and coming out ever since because of what their friends had to say, or what they saw in the Parade guide and online,” said Rosie Dearmore, who markets the property with Theresa Moore for ReeceNichols Real Estate.

Part of the appeal is the opening of the latest phase of 68 new, competitively priced, home sites in this inviting, tranquil community located in Southern Johnson County near 151st St. and Old 56 Highway. The homes, built exclusively by Johnnie Adams Homes, are situated on beautiful treed, walkout and cul-de-sac lots, some over ½-acre in size.

One of the most popular floor plans here is The Woodland II, a beautiful reverse 1-1/2-story, four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,600 square foot home. Priced at $359,950, this home also encompasses a three-car garage and is set on a spacious daylight lot.

“The Woodland II offers main level living with two of the bedrooms and one bathroom on the lower level, where homeowners can also enjoy a spacious entertainment area including a wet bar,” said Moore. “The lower level also has two large storage areas providing plenty of space to store everyday items, holiday decorations, etc. Right now, we have a spec under construction which will be ready within 30 days for buyers who want to move in before the holidays.”

Oak Run is exclusively built by Johnnie Adams of Johnnie Adams Homes, who now with decades of building experience and over 1,000 satisfied homeowners, began building exceptional, affordable, high quality homes in 1992 in primarily the Lee’s Summit and Blue Springs area. The company has since branched out to offer beautiful, energy-efficient custom homes across the Kansas City metro area.

“Johnnie may be a new name to some in Johnson County, but he has been building affordable, innovative floor plans for almost 25 years,” Dearmore said. “That is one of the reasons why we are so excited to have him as the exclusive builder here at Oak Run.”

Prospective homebuyers can experience Johnnie Adams Homes’ innovative floor plans and commitment to excellence at The Northbend. This finished, furnished model is a stunning two-story, five-bedroom, 4½-bathroom home featuring an open floor plan with four bedrooms and 3-1/2 bathrooms upstairs, and an office/flex room on the main level. The finished basement has another bedroom and bathroom, plus a wet bar and recreation room.

There are also only 13 spec homes remaining in the first phase of Oak Run. “These beautiful homes are offered in six different floor plans,” said Moore. “Ranging in price from only $254,000 to $360,000, they each have their own unique ‘Wow’ factor and appeal to a wide array of buyers.”

Several of the other big draws for buyers are the community amenities, which include a zero-depth entry pool and cabana, as well as numerous nearby options suitable for first-time, move-up, and empty-nest buyers. Oak Run is also within close proximity to the city and many modern conveniences, and only a short commute to some of Johnson County’s largest employers.

For residents with children, Oak Run is situated within the award-winning Olathe School District, which at the start of the 2017 school year opened the brand new, $82 million, state-of-the-art Olathe West High School.

“Because the homes at Oak Run represent some of the most affordable in the Southern Johnson County area, sales have been at a brisk pace and we have a lot of custom build jobs going on right now,” said Dearmore, “so we really encourage people to come out to select a spec home or make a lot reservation.”

To that Moore added, “We always tell people that Oak Run is the place where they ‘Love to Come Home!’”
