Prime selection of speculative homes awaits in historic Shawnee community.
Whether you’re on a more immediate move-in timeline or prefer a home ready later this year, the builders of Kenneth Estates are hard at work on an enticing variety of speculative homes in different stages of completion, including move-in ready. Among those homes? A truly rare opportunity to buy the historic home of the community’s namesake, which is now undergoing renovations.
Kenneth Estates is named for Kenneth Smith, who was known worldwide for his custom-built golf clubs coveted by golfers from Sammy Davis, Jr. to President Eisenhower. At one time, the property hosted a 9-hole golf course where Smith’s famed clients could try out their new golf clubs.
Several of the course’s natural features were preserved for Kenneth Estates, including two large ponds and 20 acres of dedicated greenspace. A network of walking trails connects the three neighborhoods of Kenneth Estates and creates scenic paths through the community, giving homeowners a chance to immerse themselves in peaceful, scenic surroundings.
Take that immersion even further with a one-of-a-kind opportunity. The original Smith estate is now undergoing renovations and, when updated, will offer three bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms.
“The home dates back to the late 1800s, so if you’re looking for a home with true historic value, come and talk to us,” said Kerwin Holloway, who markets Kenneth Estates with Brian Andrew for ReeceNichols Real Estate.
Additional speculative homes are available throughout Kenneth Estates’ three neighborhoods. In The Manors, seven homes are under construction, including three that are finished, available and open to tour, giving prospective buyers the luxury of flexibility when determining their move-in timeline. The Manors features single-family homes on walkout, daylight, and level homesites priced from the $600,000s. Home styles include reverse story and a half, one and one-half story, and two-story plans, depending on a buyer’s needs.
Spacious, estate-sized lots are exclusively available in The Residences, the ideal backdrop for a custom-built home. Current homesite inventory includes walkout and cul-de-sac locations, as well as a select number of homesites that back to water or trees. Homes in The Residences are priced from the upper $800,000s. Crown Homes is also beginning a speculative home of their Tivoli floor plan and the original Smith estate is also part of The Residences.
Convenience beckons in The Cottages, which offers free-standing villa homes priced from the $600,000s and maintenance-provided living. Holloway said that the villas have been especially popular. Just seven homesites remain before The Cottages is at capacity.
Throughout Kenneth Estates, buyers can choose floor plans from the community’s accomplished builder team, which includes J.S. Robinson Fine Homes, Olympus Custom Homes, Crown Builders and Rick Hoelting. Outside builders are also welcome in Kenneth Estates pending developer approval.
In addition to its historic roots and an array of eye-catching, quality-built homes, Kenneth Estates also offers a prime Shawnee location close to schools, shopping and attractions like Tomahawk Hills Golf Course and Shawnee Mission Park. Easy access to I-435 and I-35 helps residents get to other destinations throughout the Kansas City area in just minutes.
The community sales office, located on Westgate Street in the Cottages, is open daily. Make plans to stop by as Kenneth Estates’ new chapter continues to unfold and discover your place in the community’s storied legacy.
