Make memories in your dream home this Christmas

Remember your fondest holiday memories from childhood? Perhaps your family’s tradition was to spend a cozy Saturday evening at home decorating the Christmas tree while sipping hot cocoa and munching on popcorn. Maybe what comes to mind is the delicious family feasts, when grandma and grandpa and all of the aunts and uncles and cousins came over for a day of holiday revelry, too much food, lots of laughter and (wonderful) chaos.

Perhaps you’re thinking of all of those early Christmas mornings when you leaped out of bed the moment your eyes opened and rushed downstairs in your footie pajamas because you simply could not wait another minute to see what Santa had brought down the chimney!

Whatever your merry holiday reminiscing entails, Inspired Homes wants to help you start to make your own memories by getting you into your dream home in time for Christmas.

If you have been talking about making the transition from renting a house to owning a home, or if you think it’s time to move out of your starter house and into your forever home, Inspired Homes has a handful of beautiful brand new homes for you to choose from.

And to add a little extra sparkle to your holidays, each of these move-in ready homes comes with a special Home for Christmas package to give you a head-start on your decorating, including classic Christmas lights professionally hung on the front of your home, a beautiful pre-lit indoor Christmas tree, a wreath for your front door and gift certificate to round out your holiday decorations.

Locally owned and operated Inspired Homes has move-in ready homes available in The Reserve in Lenexa, Huntford in Olathe, Stonegate Reserve in Overland Park and Kensington Farms in Lee’s Summit.

The hometown company, which is the exclusive builder in a total of seven communities across greater Kansas City, normally works with homebuyers to personalize each home from the ground up based on the buyer’s specifications. The existing-inventory homes are a limited offering of the most popular models, said Dan Walsh, vice president of Inspired Homes.

Several spacious floor plans and various exterior styles — from Craftsman to Prairie — are available. Each home comes with some of the most desired features and finishes, including an attached garage, walk-in closets, laundry center, abundant storage space and a beautiful kitchen great for holiday entertaining.

In addition to the aesthetic features, each home is built with superior 2 x 6 construction and uses energy-efficient materials such as blown insulation, a high-efficiency HVAC system, low-E glass windows and a dry-basement system — so you can be sure your home will stay warm and dry through the winter months.

Each exclusive Inspired Homes community is situated in a high-ranking school district and close to shopping, dining, recreation and entertainment — ideal during the holiday bustle and throughout the year. The move-in ready homes at The Reserve, Huntford and Kensington Farms are available for touring from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. If you want to give your family the gift of a dream home for Christmas, there’s no time like the present.
