Builder offers low-maintenance luxury living in Lee’s Summit

Leading new-home builder Summit Custom Homes is now showcasing an exclusive range of luxury residences in the Villas of Parkwood, located off Missouri 150 near Ward Road within Stoney Creek, one of the fastest-selling master-planned communities in Lee’s Summit.

“With mortgage rates on the rise and expected to go higher in the new year, now is the best time to purchase a new home,” said Danielle Sapienza, community manager for the Villas of Parkwood and member of the Rob Ellerman Team with ReeceNichols. “Home prices in the Villas will also increase in January, so buyers looking to purchase at current inventory prices should move quickly.”

The Community Information Center for the Villas of Parkwood is at 1217 SW Neelie Lane in Lee’s Summit and is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 12 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tours are also available by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Prospective buyers who visit the community this week and mention learning about The Villas of Parkwood in The Star will receive a coupon for a $1,000 gift card to Crowley Furniture when they sign a contract to purchase a move-in ready home by Jan. 31, 2016.

The community has three furnished model homes open for tours, including the popular Palermo plan, which was honored as a First Place winner for Distinctive Plan & Design by the Home Builder’s Association during the Fall Parade of Homes.

The 2,130-square-foot Palermo model features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three-car garage with a finished lower level with rec room and wet bar. The dramatic foyer entrance with vaulted ceiling leads to the great room that overlooks the covered back patio and is open to the dining area and designer chef’s kitchen. A second bedroom is off the foyer with easy access to a full bath.

The 2,487-square-foot Ravenna model, which received a Second Place award for Distinctive Plan & Design during the Parade, includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three-car garage and is now for sale at $389,950. The foyer showcases a box vault ceiling with custom trim, which opens to a large open living space with an island kitchen. A flex room suitable for use as a bedroom or office is at the front. The main-level master suite has an oversized walk-in closet and an additional bedroom is near the master with convenient access to a second full bath.

A 2,151-square-foot Catania model has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three-car garage with a finished lower level with rec room and wet bar. The Catania model is also now for sale at $379,950. The vaulted foyer features beautiful custom trim work and opens to a spacious living area with elegant corner fireplace. The dining area opens to a covered back patio and flows into a designer kitchen featuring a large island and oversized pantry. A second bedroom with roomy closet and a full bath are located at the front of the home.

Two additional luxury residences are currently move-in ready in the Villas: a 2,482-square-foot Catania plan with a finished lower level that has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three-car garage is priced at $399,950; and a 2,787-square-foot Ravenna plan with a finished lower level, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three-car garage is priced at $399,950.

Additional homes are currently under construction with time for buyers to choose their own designer finishes. Premium lots are also available for those looking to build from start to finish, including a limited number of hard-to-find treed lots.

Stoney Creek offers residents an unparalleled assortment of amenities, including two swimming pools with covered cabanas, miles of neighborhood sidewalks, two community playgrounds and a sand volleyball court. The community is connected by sidewalk to adjacent Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation Osage Trails Park, offering residents access to walking trails, picnic areas and a playground.

Stoney Creek is just a few minutes’ drive from the charming downtown Lee’s Summit shopping district, three superior golf courses and scenic hiking, fishing, boating and camping at both Longview Lake and James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife area.
