Discover the quality of a Tom French community.
When building or buying a new home, there are many things to consider. Among the most important are the homebuilder’s attention to detail, his ongoing commitment to quality construction, and his ability to build an energy efficient home. Tom French has earned a stellar reputation for quality during his 42-year career. A leader in developing and building both maintenance-provided and single family neighborhoods, French has several communities in progress, providing prospective buyers many options to suit their particular needs, desires and lifestyles.
Covington Creek Developed by French, this single family home community offers a variety of plans in the Olathe Northwest school district, with prices starting in the high $400s. This neighborhood includes several walkout home sites to choose from, many backing to greenspace. For buyers wanting to move quickly, four homes are available by featured builders Symphony Homes and Hogan Homes.
The Hogan Homes two story Dylan XL plan captivates buyers with the level of detail included. The four bedroom, three and a half bath home features granite counters, a large island, solid wood custom maple cabinets with soft close doors and drawers. The wine bar offers extra storage and display space, connecting the kitchen to the great room, which is dominated by a beautiful stacked stone fireplace. Also, the main level offers a flex room that can be an office or a formal dining room.
The Alexander reverse story and a half furnished model by Symphony Homes offers an open floor plan with a transitional feel – traditional yet with modern and contemporary elements. The kitchen and dining area flow into a large great room overlooking the covered deck with an outdoor corner fireplace. Storage is abundant in this plan, including a large walk-in kitchen pantry, plus the mudroom off the garage is great for keeping coats and gear organized. The walkout lower level rec room with standard feature walk-behind bar adds additional living space, plus a covered patio with wonderful views of the private lot. Symphony Homes has two other Alexander reverse story and a half homes that are close to completion.
Amenities for the sister communities Covington Creek and Covington Court, including a pool and playground area, are coming soon.
Covington Court Located off 115th Street and Lone Elm Road in northwest Olathe’s growth corridor is one of Tom’s most popular maintenance provided communities. The neighborhood offers home sites to start from the ground up, or consider one of five available homes, with prices starting in the $380,000s. Phase Two is well underway, offering walkout home sites for the new reverse story and a half plans, the Ensley II with two bedrooms on the main level and the Alderwood II. Phase Two also offers the new Ensley III plan, a true ranch with three bedrooms on the main level. The open floor plan is ideal with the kitchen and dining area flowing into a large great room overlooking the covered deck.
“Tom has many requests for a three bedroom ranch plan and the new Ensley III plan has received such a positive response,” said marketing agent Susan Hoskinson with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Kansas City Homes. “If you have been thinking about Covington Court, now is a great time to visit. We have several available homes, one of which has a walkout lower level.”
Tuscany Piazza Townhomes Located at 137th Street, east of Mission Road in Leawood, is a boutique community of just six reverse story and a half homes. The stunning stone and stucco exteriors feature charming old world Tuscan flavor and flair with a beautiful entrance fountain, paver streets and a picturesque pond; while the interiors beckon with today’s popular transitional design. Priced from the $850,000s, homes offer two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level plus one bedroom, one bathroom and a recreation room on the lower level, with room to expand. The last three homes, available for occupancy, are now open weekends noon to 4:30pm.
“Come out and see the craftsmanship and attention to detail in a Tom French home,” Hoskinson said “Buyers have been attracted to the carefree lock and leave lifestyle.”
Gatewood Villas Situated at College and Montclaire Drive in Olathe, discover this serene and secluded, 21 home site neighborhood where all of the stand-alone, maintenance-provided villas have walkout lower levels and back up to wooded greenspace. Construction has started on the Chestnut plan. New to the community, this reverse story and a half residence boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three-car garage, and over 2,500 square feet of exceptionally finished living space. An open floor plan includes traditional entry, large great room, an ample dining area and a gourmet kitchen. Only three opportunities remain in this desirable community.
