Sizzling summer sales at Leabrooke Town Manor

Summer is hot, and interest has been heating up at Leabrooke Town Manor, a brand new luxurious, maintenance-provided community just off Kenneth Road and 148th Street in Leawood.

Reminiscent of a quaint European village, Leabrooke Town Manor offers designs to meet a wide range of buyers from single professionals, to families with young children, to empty-nesters and retirees.

According to Patty Hummel, who markets the community for ReeceNichols, “The residents enjoy the relaxing lock-and-leave lifestyle where all the routine exterior duties associated with typical homeownership are covered under the monthly homeowner association dues.”

The monthly homeowner dues include fire and property liability insurance covering the home, fixtures and equipment such as the HVAC; residents’ water and sewer; repair and replacement of roof and gutters; mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizing and weeding of lawns; pruning of all trees and bushes; snow removal; and annual start-up, winterization and repair of the lawn sprinkler system.

The annual homeowner dues include trash pick-up, the swimming pool, Sport Court with tennis and basketball, a stocked fishing pond, and the clubhouse with exercise facility.

The reverse 1 ½-story plan offers the master bedroom and laundry on the main floor, boasting a spacious lower level which includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, roomy living area, separate storage rooms and egress, daylight or walkout access.

The 1½-story plan also offers the master bedroom and laundry on the main floor with an upstairs that includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, spacious loft, additional closets, and one floor plan has bay windows with a window seat. One of the 1½-story plans has an additional bedroom on the main floor which could also be used as an office. All 1½-story homes include a full pre-plumbed basement with daylight or egress windows.

Each home comes standard with upscale interior features, including: 3-inch select white oak hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, iron spindles, oak tread and designer carpet on the stairs, a quiet floor system, upgraded 12- by 24-inch tile in the bathrooms and stone or tile fireplaces. Beautiful wood treatments highlight many of the ceilings.

The state-of-the-art kitchen offers granite or quartz countertops with a generous breakfast bar allowing for a secondary eating area, and stainless steel appliances complete with a gas self-cleaning range. All floor plans have master suites on the main level with granite or marble vanity tops in the bathrooms and many feature 6-foot walk-in showers with tiled benches.

“What we offer at Leabrooke Town Manor are upscale features and finishes that one would expect to find in a higher price point single-family home, at a more affordable price,” said Dan Taylor, the builder of the community. “We also realize that potential buyers may want the option of adding their own personal touches to their new residence, so a selection of the homes are being held at the trim stage, allowing buyers the ability to choose their finishes.”

Every home also includes a textured stucco and stone exterior, lush landscaped yard, either a private deck or patio, and an attached two-car garage with 8-foot insulated doors and Lift Master belt-driven openers.

Residents of Leabrooke Town Manor enjoy being within five minutes of grocery stores, major retailers and several banks, in addition to 10 minutes from urgent care clinics, St. Luke’s South and Menorah Medical Center, and many major highways.

There are also many unique artistic and entertainment options at nearby Park Place, a charming retail and dining area; Town Center Plaza and Town Center Crossing, home to over 90 of Kansas City's finest stores and restaurants; and Prairie Fire, featuring the new Museum at Prairie Fire, Cinetopia movie theater, a specialty grocery store, restaurants, beauty services, entertainment and guided wetlands.

What’s more, Leabrooke Town Manor is adjacent to beautiful Ironwoods Park. Golf enthusiasts are also just a few miles from Ironhorse Golf Club, one of the Kansas City area’s premier public courses.

For residents with children, Leabrooke Town Manor feeds into the Blue Valley School District including Prairie Star Elementary, Prairie Star Middle and Blue Valley High Schools.

“We really encourage prospective buyers who have an interest in a maintenance-provided lifestyle, as well as living in Leawood, to take advantage of this special incentive,” said Hummel. “This is most likely one of the last opportunities for people to buy a new construction residence in Leawood at this price point.”
