Sales are hot at Leabrooke Town Manor

Sales have been, as they say, “On Fire!” at Leabrooke Town Manor, a new, luxurious and peaceful maintenance-provided community built by Taylor Sterling Construction Company and located at the southeastern tip of Leawood just off Kenneth Road and 148th Street.

“July and August were very busy,” said Patty Hummel, who markets the community for ReeceNichols. “Our Sizzling Summer Savings incentive where both the Leabrooke master and Leabrooke Town Manor HOA dues will be paid by the developer through the end of 2016 was so popular, that we have decided to extend it through Oct. 31, 2015 with each signed contract. This is a nice financial savings to our buyers.”

The monthly homeowners dues include fire and property liability insurance covering the home, fixtures and equipment such as the HVAC; resident water and sewer; repair and replacement of roof and gutters; mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizing and weeding of lawns; pruning of all trees and bushes; snow removal; and annual start-up, winterization and repair of the lawn sprinkler system.

The annual Leabrooke master HOA dues include trash pick-up, the swimming pool, Sport Court with tennis and basketball, a stocked fishing pond and the clubhouse with exercise facility.

With all of these routine homeownership duties covered, it allows the residents to enjoy the relaxing lock-and-leave lifestyle.

Prospective buyers will find additional savings on all contracts signed between now and the end of September on seven featured homes. These include three Mayfair, three Coventry and one Stratford floor plan, which now all come with a decorating allowance of up to $7,000, plus the aforementioned HOA incentive, for buyers who meet lender qualifications.

The reverse Mayfair plan, priced at $339,000 (MLS #1903309), is a charming 1,952-square-foot home beautifully decorated with today’s colors and styles.
