Remaining inventory selling fast at One Park Place

Remarkable interest in the homes at One Park Place has continued in 2015 as nine sales have closed. Eighty-five percent of the building’s homes are sold and another four pending contracts are set to close this summer, according to Andrew Mall, who markets the building along with Ellen Vap.

Remaining homes in the tower feature two and three bedrooms, though two-bedroom inventory is dwindling as five floor plans are sold out.

“People are buying into a lifestyle,” said Mall. “Owners have been drawn to One Park Place because it offers a unique, quality product in a premier location. Incomparable skyline views, resort-like amenities and a vibrant social community are bonuses. Twenty-four-hour front door service and 20,000 square feet of resort-style amenities afford homeowners convenience and comfort.”

This downtown address has it all. A wealth of cultural opportunities in the midst of the city’s best loved shopping, arts, sports and nightlife districts combined with the calming nature of nearby Penn Valley Park have attracted young families, empty-nesters and singles.

Notable amenities include a newly remodeled luxury event space, a media lounge equipped with flat-screen televisions, an inviting bar area, a chic demonstration kitchen and spacious party room. A billiards room and extravagant temperature-controlled wine cellar with private lockers and a tasting room provide the perfect spot for unwinding.

During summer months, owners will enjoy an oasis in the center of the city. A private, landscaped outdoor entertaining area features a furnished patio, swimming pool, whirlpool, barbecue area, putting green and dog run. An on-site, premier fitness area includes a full weight room equipped with cardio- and strength-training equipment. An indoor saltwater pool, steam room, mirrored Pilates/yoga studio and a massage room are also available on the lobby level.

From inside each home, owners are able to entertain clients, family and friends without having to step a foot outside the building. Open floor plans and elegantly designed spaces with premium finishes and appliances provide the perfect backdrop for intimate gatherings and larger entertaining.

Enjoy magnificent, south-facing views from atop the city’s highest vantage point in a luxury corner condo on the 17th floor priced at $650,000. Features of this 3,500-square-foot condo include 10-foot ceilings and an impressive wall of windows. Inside you’ll find three bedrooms and 21/2 bathrooms. Designed to be both sleek and inviting, the open floor plan allows for uninterrupted, easy flow from one room to the next. The monochromatic palette with clean modern lines and interesting textures allows the scenery to take center stage.

The master bathroom rivals that of a luxury spa and includes a glass-enclosed shower and large soaking tub, granite counter tops, dual sinks, ample drawer space and under-sink storage.

A model home on the 20th floor penthouse level offers more than 2,900 square feet and is listed at $895,000. Seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary elements, this home presents a cozy feel to each room as its lively color palette infuses the large space with warmth. Upon entering, floor-to-ceiling windows provide the best views in Kansas City, where above it all, everything is within reach. Inside you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms and 21/2 bathrooms. Features of the kitchen include granite counter tops, upgraded stainless steel appliances and a large pantry. Abundant storage space and large closets are found throughout the home.
