Lush park surroundings envelop rare new construction in Prairie Village
Meadowbrook Park’s 84 acres are in full bloom, creating a lush, recreation-focused haven in the heart of Prairie Village. The generously sized park — formerly a golf course — isn’t the only part of the mixed-use community that’s growing. Construction continues on twin villas and single-family homes, giving prospective buyers an exciting selection of upscale speculative homes by some of Kansas City’s best builders.
The mixed-use community also puts residents within a short stroll of exciting new services and amenities, including a boutique hotel and restaurant, both of which are opening soon. The Market and café offers grab-and-go menu items, coffee and ice cream, an especially big hit with kids who have been playing in the park and need a refreshing treat to cool off.
A new kind of villa living awaits in two of the community’s neighborhoods: The Parkside and The Reserve. Features like soaring ceilings, spacious layouts and oversized windows are among the hallmarks of these airy, open villas that are bursting with impeccable details.
“The twin villas of Meadowbrook Park are one-of-a-kind,” said Sheri Dyer, who markets Meadowbrook Park’s villa homes with Sharon Barry for ReeceNichols. “There’s nothing else in Kansas City like them.”
Meadowbrook Park’s villa homes are exclusively built by Tom French Construction. Prospective buyers can choose from four floor plans, including ranch, reverse 1 ½-story and two-story layouts. Homes range from approximately 2,000 to 5,000 square feet, depending on the floor plan and finish options. All Meadowbrook Park floor plans offer first-floor master suites and main-floor living. Prices start in the mid-$800,000s.
Each modern, open floor plan is highlighted by thoughtful features, including main-floor hardwoods, high ceilings, large pantries, built-in wet bar and an option to select zero-entry showers. Meadowbrook Park villa homes also include rear-loaded garages, which Sheri and Sharon agree is a newer concept for Kansas City that further enhances the aesthetic of the community. Homeowners who opt to build a home will work directly with Gayle French to choose design selections, a process that Tom French’s clients rave about.
In The Parkside, two speculative villa homes are under construction and will be ready for late summer and early fall move-ins, respectively. Several homesites are also available for those who prefer a custom-built home.
In the gated Reserve neighborhood, two additional speculative homes are under construction with completion scheduled in early 2021. More than a dozen homesites are also available. Prices in both neighborhoods start in the mid- to upper $800,000s.
The Reserve at Meadowbrook Park also offers expertly designed, eye-catching single-family homes. Here, buyers will work side-by-side with a member of Meadowbrook Park’s building team—including Ambassador Homes, Holthaus Building, Koenig Building + Restoration, Lambie Custom Homes, RM Standard & Co. and Tom French Construction—to create a custom home that truly reflects each buyer’s taste and preferences. Although the neighborhood will feature an enviable architectural variety, all of the homes in The Reserve will also be united by a common aesthetic.
“The homes are designed and built to reflect classic, timeless architectural detailing,” said Teresa Hoffman, who markets The Reserve at Meadowbrook Park for ReeceNichols. “Fifty years from now, we want it to look as good as it does now, similar to the timeless appeal of the homes along Ward Parkway. I think we’ve accomplished that so far, and the feedback from the public has been overwhelmingly positive.”
Prospective buyers have no shortage of exciting options to consider when building their single-family home in The Reserve at Meadowbrook Park. Available homesites include two remaining lake locations that offer prime views of the water and surrounding community. Prospective buyers can choose from a selection of idyllic homesites, including generously sized locations that can accommodate a 3-car garage. Local architects have designed many of the custom homes already built in The Reserve. More than a dozen homesites are available with lot prices starting at $250,000.
Within the gated Reserve neighborhood, two speculative homes built by Koenig Building + Restoration are available for immediate possession. Ambassador Construction has also started construction of a custom-designed plan with completion scheduled in early 2021. Also nearing completion is a Tom French custom-designed home that will be featured in the upcoming Artisan Tour, slated for mid-August. Home prices in The Reserve neighborhood range from $1 million to $3 million.
Both the villa homes and the single-family homes offer the convenience of provided maintenance, including lawn care, tree and shrub care, irrigation and snow removal. As a result, residents have more time to accommodate busy schedules, travel or simply enjoy the surrounding community, the highlight of which is the expertly maintained Meadowbrook Park. Enjoy a full range of recreational opportunities, including state-of-the-art playground equipment and four miles of walking trails, all just steps away from your new home. Meadowbrook residents also have access to a neighborhood swimming pool, a great place to relax and catch up with friends and neighbors.
Prospective buyers are invited to reach out to schedule a personal tour of Meadowbrook Park, including a firsthand look at new homes under construction and all of the amenities and services that Meadowbrook Park has to offer. During the last few weeks, you may have discovered the joys of a slower, more leisurely lifestyle. Purchase a home in Meadowbrook Park and that idyllic existence can become your daily reality.
