Tranquil lake living offered

As the Kansas City metropolitan area continues to grow, prospective buyers are increasingly looking for living options in nature seemingly “away from the city” without sacrificing convenience and the most desired amenities.

The Communities of Piper Lake, in western Wyandotte County between U.S. 73 and Interstate 435 at Hollingsworth Road and 125th Street, offers a tranquil setting located around a beautiful 55-acre lake across from Dub’s Dread Golf Course.

Several stunning lake lots are available, as well as walkout and level lots for buyers to choose from to build their dream home. Several of Kansas City’s finest builders are working in the subdivision and are offering an array of floor plans including ranch, reverse 1 1/2-story, two-story and 1 1/2-story plans, all on walkout lots. The single-family homes and villas starting in the $270,000s encompass options sure to please everyone.

Reed Fuller Construction, one of Kansas City’s premier home builders, has two reverse 1 1/2-story homes currently available, The Cottage and The Craftsman, each featuring over 3,400 square feet and offered at $399,950.

These upscale homes include all the latest features and finishes. The open kitchen offers an enormous pantry, large island, granite counter tops, gas stove and tile back-splash. Beautiful hardwood floors grace the front and rear entries, kitchen, dining and great room. The owner’s suite includes a room-sized master closet accessible from the laundry room, as well as a spacious bath with a jetted tub and walk-in shower making it a truly an in-home paradise.

Both floor plans offer an office on the main floor overlooking the front. The walkout lower level includes a large living area and two very generous bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet. Heat pumps with gas, as well as humidifiers, are just a few of the standard features included here. Outdoors, there is an eye-catching covered deck providing a wonderful opportunity to enjoy nature.

“Reed Fuller Construction’s goal is to offer stunning, energy-efficient, well-built homes that will last for generations, but also to help buyers design and build their own dream home and make the process easy and enjoyable,” said Tory Graham, who markets the property for Weichert, Realtors Graham-Welch LLC. “They have been serving Kansas City with quality homes for over 35 years and operate on the belief that the customers’ needs are of the utmost importance. Their entire team is committed to meeting those needs.”

Two popular floor plans from Broadway Homes include the Greenwood, a 1 1/2-story, five-bedroom, four-bathroom home priced at $399,000, with a stunning two-story entry, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the open living area and high-end modern finishes throughout.

The Kerrigan is a reverse 1 1/2-story plan featuring a spacious, inviting floor plan encompassing nearly 3,000 square feet with elite finishes which can be custom built in the $370,000s.

Also currently available is The Sycamore by Ashlar Homes, a spacious ranch floor plan with three bedrooms on the main floor and a fourth bedroom, bathroom and family room on the lower level. Similar beautiful high-end finishes, a covered deck and much more make this spectacular lake-view home a true value at only $339,950.

Cedar Nile Homes, another quality home builder, has a two-story plan available for $375,000 with the same attention to detail with high-end finishes, and a superb floor plan.
