Showcasing award-winning move-in ready homes across the metro

Leading new-home builder Summit Custom Homes is currently offering move-in ready homes for many of its most popular award-winning floor plans in communities across Kansas City.

Known for building finely-crafted and energy-efficient homes that feature innovative floor plans and unique decorative fixtures at an exceptional value, Summit received substantial recognition for its innovative plan designs and trendsetting finishes and fixtures last month during the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City’s 2015 Fall Parade of Homes. Summit received seven Distinctive Plan and Design awards for its entries in the parade, including a First Place award for its Cambridge floor plan in Woodneath Farms, south of NE 96th Street near Interstate 435.

The two-story Cambridge plan features over 2,900 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a three-car garage and an option to convert one of the upstairs bedrooms into a loft. The entry foyer showcases a dramatic curved staircase.

In addition to the home in Woodneath Farms, currently available for $384,950, Summit also has move-in ready homes of the award-winning plan for sale in Belmont Farms in Lee’s Summit for $369,950, Edgewater at Creekmoor in Raymore for $362,950, Wilshire by the Lake in Overland Park for $459,950 and College Meadows in Olathe for $429,950.

Summit also received a Second Place award for the ranch style Ravenna floor plan, available exclusively in the low-maintenance Villas of Parkwood community in Lee’s Summit. A Ravenna model showcasing a finished lower level and upgraded designer features is now for sale in the Villas. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home has a three-car garage and a beautiful vaulted foyer with custom trim work. It features modern design finishes and fixtures and is currently priced at $389,950. Another move-in ready Ravenna plan is available that also features a lower-level finish with five bedrooms, three bathroom and a three-car garage, currently for sale at $399,950.

A new model of Summit’s popular two-story Sterling plan in High Point at Creekmoor was a Pick of the Parade Grand Award winner. Located off Missouri 58 east of Interstate 49 in Raymore, the Sterling model features over 2,500 square feet of living space with four bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and a three-car garage and is the location of the Community Information Center.

Summit has move-in ready Sterling plans available in the Canyon Creek Highlands community in Lenexa for $387,950 and in College Meadows in Olathe for $379,950. Two additional Sterling plans are available in Benson Place, located at NE 96th Street between Interstate 435 and NE Flintrock Road priced at $339,950 and $343,950.

Summit recently opened a lakeside model of the Bristol Ridge II plan in The Shores at Chapman Farms which received a Second Place award for Distinctive Plan and Design. Located in Blue Springs, the model features over 3,000 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a three-car garage. Two move-in ready Bristol Ridge II floor plans are currently available in the Wilshire by the Lake in Overland Park within the top-rated Blue Valley School District, now priced at $489,950 and $509,950.

Summit standard series homes are built with an impressive list of standard features including wide-plank wood flooring in all main traffic areas and rubbed-copper wrought-iron style stair spindles, as well as island kitchens with custom designer cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and stainless steel appliances. Premium plumbing fixtures are standard throughout each home, including a spa master bathroom with tile flooring and an oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads. Summit homes also feature stucco and stone veneer front elevations and many floor plans include a three-car garage. The company offers an industry-leading 10-year structural home warranty.

Summit is known for its commitment to using green building technology and practices as part of the construction process.

In addition to a high-efficiency HVAC system package, an extensive caulk and foam package and R-13 formaldehyde-free exterior wall insulation keep outside air out and conditioned air in, delivering up to a 30 percent savings on utility bills annually. The company installs passive radon remediation piping, a MERV-11 furnace filter and a sealed distribution ductwork system to prevent conditioned air from passing through dusty interior walls and floor framing, providing families cleaner, healthier indoor air quality in their living spaces.
