Ridgestone Meadows provides beautiful, natural escape in Shawnee.
Like most Kansas City-area residents, oncologist Dr. Qamar Khan and pharmacist Leslie Khan have spent a great deal of time at home since mid-March. When they aren’t commuting to their jobs at the University of Kansas Hospital, they cherish time in a beautiful, custom-designed home in Shawnee’s peaceful and picturesque Ridgestone Meadows. The couple, along with Leslie’s 14-year-old son, Trey, moved into the residence in January — never imagining that three months later the home would provide welcome sanctuary during a pandemic.
Built by award-winning JS Robinson Fine Homes, the Khan’s home is situated on a wooded lot that has afforded a sense of calm and comfort during an unprecedented, stressful time.
“Qamar and I have discussed at length the good fortune of being in our new home at this particular time,” said Leslie Khan. “With our demanding jobs, we appreciate the ability to work from home or coming home and being able to sit on the deck and enjoy the wooded area behind the house.”
Life and style intersect. When the Khan’s started contemplating a move in 2018, they researched communities and homebuilders before deciding on Ridgestone Meadows and JS Robinson.
“We love Shawnee because it’s not congested,” said Leslie Khan. “Convenient to I-435, we have access to anywhere in the metro and we’re in the De Soto School District, which was important. For work, Qamar and I have a straight shot down Shawnee Mission Parkway — it’s nice to be able to avoid highways and morning traffic. JS Robinson’s homes have high-quality finishes, which was a priority, and we immediately connected with Jeff Robinson.”
Drawn to a treed, walkout property that offers privacy and good elevation on a Ridgestone Meadows’ cul-de-sac, the couple collaborated with the JS Robinson team to build a traditional and striking two-story home that features bedrooms on the upper level, pure entertainment on the main and lower levels and a pool. With the popular Sonoma floor plan as a reference, the Khan’s made refinements to the design, adding a wine room and bar on the lower level, along with other personalized accommodations to align with their busy lifestyle.
“The process was seamless, and we especially enjoyed working with Betsy, the interior designer,” said Leslie Khan. “She understood our style goals and helped us translate that to our final selections.”
Lasting value, innovative designs and exceptional customer experience. Like most discerning homebuyers, value, innovation and customer service were paramount factors when the Khan’s set out to choose a community and a builder. JS Robinson has been creating homes in the Kansas City area for more than 30 years with an emphasis on craftsmanship and concierge customer service.
Jennifer Harvey, Ridgestone Meadows community manager and real estate agent with ReeceNichols, knows homebuyers like the Khan’s expect a high level of communication and attention to detail when building a home.
“Jeff and his team understand the many intricacies involved in bringing a dream home from plan to reality,” Harvey said. “JS Robinson builds from scratch, helps buyers edit existing floor plans or works with a buyer’s own plans. It’s all about achieving an extraordinary end product. And I think we’re entering a new era where home is taking on heightened importance and people will expect even more from a community and the place where they spend the majority of their time.”
Builder-developer Jeff Robinson, president of JS Robinson Fine Homes, agrees with Harvey’s assessment.
“We build everything from ranches and villas to two-story, reverse and custom homes,” Robinson said. “Every single project begins with our team listening to a client’s vision for their home and lifestyle.
“And, there’s something extra-special about Ridgestone Meadows — the neighbors, the families, the scenic, park-like setting — that brings me joy every time I visit the community.”
Ridgestone Meadows’ current inventory. An in-demand, heavily wooded community that offers stunning hilltop views and proximity to shopping, dining and entertainment and the acclaimed De Soto School District, Ridgestone Meadows is a distinctive destination. Harvey has called it home for 13 years and is thrilled to introduce prospective homebuyers, like the Khan’s, to its natural beauty.
“More than 80 percent of Ridgestone Meadows’ home sites have trees and many even back up to green space,” Harvey said. “JS Robinson and another award-winning builder, Rodrock Homes, build spectacular homes here, along with approved builders, to make this a truly unique community in the western suburbs.”
