Lime Stone Road Townhomes: The best in maintenance-provided living

Lime Stone Road Townhomes entered its first Parade of Homes many years ago and came away with Community of the Year accolades. The property has aged very well since that time, collecting awards as the best maintenance-provided product by the Parade of Homes judges, Grand Award winner for its landscaping as presented by the Mid-America Green Industry Council, and Links Magazine’s best golf community for convenience to city life. Come see for yourself what everyone else is writing about.

The community is part of the nationally recognized community located in Parkville. Its rolling terrain, breathtaking views, natural habitat, award-winning Park Hill School District and, of course, its Tom Watson Signature Golf course are just a few reasons why The National stands apart from all other developments, the marketing team said.

Once you arrive you can choose from several floor plans. Along with the numerous floor plans offered with our traditional product you can also choose from a new concept in maintenance provided. We have a limited offering of eight (four units have been sold since it was introduced six months ago) stand-alone maintenance-provided townhomes. These townhomes have no common walls and will offer an optional third-car garage. Our current inventory offers walk out and daylight lower levels.

As with our existing townhome product, the stand-alone product will offer an open feeling as you enter the front door with high ceilings, large expanse of windows, efficient living spaces with the kitchen, great room and master suite on one level. They will carry our standard finishes featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, hardwood floors and GE appliance packages.

The good news is that as a resident of one of our maintenance-provided communities, you will have time to shop and play golf because as an owner you never have to take time out of your life to paint your home, repair the roof, fix/clean gutters, mow, mulch, trim, fertilize or even remove snow from your sidewalks and driveways.

One such resident who took advantage of everything Lime Stone Road Townhomes has to offer were Bob and Sue Martin. It took a few years and a circuitous route to move to the Lime Stone Road Townhomes, but they are happy their journey ended there.

“My wife works for Cerner, and several years ago, they wanted the executives to move to Kansas City,” Martin said.

The Martins enjoy the small-town atmosphere of Parkville and the serenity of the Lime Stone Road Townhomes.

“We wanted to live somewhere that we never had to worry about when we left for vacation, work or just a quick get-away, and Lime Stone Road townhomes gave us this ability. To leave without worrying about getting the lawn mowed or the snow shoveled is the way to enjoy life,” Sue Martin said.

And, they added, since they no longer have to maintain their yard, they are saving money. “People just don’t realize how much it costs to own and maintain lawn equipment or a snow blower,” she said.

“Parkville is just such a great town. It’s kind of a hidden secret. It is quiet up here, and we see deer and wild turkey all the time. Our townhome overlooks the Deuce, and we have great views of the golf course.”

And the location? Well, it is second to none. It is convenient to anything a resident could desire. Less than 5 minutes away you can shop for all your basic necessities. Parkville Commons, a 250,000-square-foot retail center is anchored by a Price Chopper grocery store. In addition to Price Chopper you can pick up dry cleaning at Pride Cleaners, find your everyday needs at Walgreen’s and dine at Nick and Jake’s, Rusty Horse Tavern, Jimmy John’s, Sakae Sushi and Pizza Hut. It is also home to the metropolitan area’s most active and vibrant health and wellness center, the Platte County Community Center/YMCA.

Chris Powell, who markets the property for FiveStar Lifestyles thinks with prices starting in the low $300s coupled with historically low interest rates, the Lime Stone Road Townhomes offer an unprecedented opportunity for those who want to experience The National’s active resort lifestyle.
