Kansas City builder announces Sept. 27 grand opening

Kansas City residents looking for a new home in the $198,000 to $300,000 price range have a new, local option. Inspired Homes announces the Grand Opening of its four new model homes on Sept. 27.

Kansas City-owned and -operated Inspired Homes provides buyers with “a home built the way they deserve” by using the highest quality products and the latest technology and industry processes to deliver the absolute best value per square foot in the market.

“We’ve all lived in Kansas City for a long time and feel that the people in this area deserve the best-built home the industry can offer at prices they can afford,” said Ernie Wassmann, CEO of Inspired Homes. “We’ve completed painstaking research to identify the best products, building practices and technology in the industry and brought it all home to Kansas City.

“We’ve had positive feedback from Realtors, prospective homebuyers and current residents within the communities where we are building. Our mission is to ensure each Inspired Homes community is a place individuals and families will be proud to call home. At the end of the day, seeing families buy their brand new home that once was only a dream is my biggest reward.”

There are many things that stand out at Inspired Homes. The energy efficiency products offered in all Inspired Homes is a great example. The exterior walls are all 2-foot by 6-foot construction — compared with the industry standard of 2-foot by 4-foot — with a foam insulation that is 2 inches thicker and doesn’t sink to the bottom over time like standard fiberglass insulation.

Additionally, Inspired Homes is proud to include 95 percent efficient furnaces, power-vented, low-E water heaters, low-E glass windows, a basement system that prevents leaks and much more.

“The question that comes up most is, how can we do this and still offer the best price per square foot? We do it through streamlining the construction process and providing detailed training for all our trade partners,” Wassman explained. “We provide a 3D model of each floor plan so they can see exactly what is supposed to be built before they ever swing a hammer.

“We won’t compromise on quality, so we found a better way to build our homes so we never have to.”

Inspired Homes is currently building in Lee’s Summit at the Kensington Farms community; Lenexa at the Reserve community; and coming soon to Olathe in the Huntford community. The builder offers six two-story and three one-story floor plans starting at $198,000 with living space that ranges from 1,601 to 3,543 square feet. In Lee’s Summit, it offers a 2,843 square-foot model with four bedrooms and 21/2 bathrooms for $249,000.

Four decorated models will be available to view on from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, at Kensington Farms, located at 1412 SW Cornwall Road in Lee’s Summit.
