Buy a home & give back all at the same time.

Did you know you can purchase a custom designed home and help make a big donation to Children's Mercy all at once? It's true, but you must act fast.

Summit Homes, Kansas City’s largest new home builder and a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, partnered with Children’s Mercy to build a Home for Little Heroes. All proceeds from the sale; current listing price, $799,950, will benefit Children's Mercy. Summit Homes’ network of trade partners donated their labor and materials, which ensured the home was built at zero cost.

Let's talk about this show-stopper of a home.

The Home for Little Heroes is located at 20602 W 120th Terrace in Olathe, Kansas within the Reserve of Ravenwood community. The expansive 5,437 square foot, contemporary farmhouse, is situated on an estate-size lot. The heavy contrasts of dark accents against a white backdrop with peaked gables and a large wrap-around porch provide a modern twist on the rustic elegance of a traditional farmhouse. The six-bedroom, five-bathroom home features a charming library, spacious designer chef’s kitchen, sunroom with a covered patio, a second-level loft and a finished basement.

Reserve at Ravenwood offers its homeowners access to the award-winning Olathe School District, Olathe Northwest Highschool. Plus, with close access to K7 and K10 Highway, it’s a breeze for commuters. The community’s new pool and amenity complex opens at the end of May, just in time for summer fun.

Through the generosity of Helen Bartlett, owner of Refined Interior Staging Solutions, Summit Homes can showcase this spectacular home with furniture and decor that complement the home's features. By staging the home, potential home buyers can visualize the space, leading to a quick sale and funds Children's Mercy can use for families in need.

This home will be featured during the Spring Parade of Homes, but you have a chance to view now! The home will be open to the public for a special open house on Saturday, April 13, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday, April 14, from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. For a private showing or additional information, please contact Summit Homes’ New Home Specialist at 816-326-2909.
