"Churchill" model.

One of the best parts of the Spring Homes Tour, aside from visiting and touring the latest in residential construction, is the chance for builders to receive recognition for their work.

We’re proud to announce that one of our builders, James Engle Custom Homes, received two awards at last week’s recognition ceremony. Both of the award-winners are in Prairie Brook Villas, and prospective buyers are invited to visit the community and tour these outstanding homes.

Tour entry 90 received the American Dream Award. Located at 24525 W. 110th Street, the three-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom home is the company’s “Churchill” floor plan, a elegant home that features a soaring entry, ample great room with a gas fireplace and oversized windows that allow natural light to stream throughout the home’s main level. Thoughtful architectural touches add style and polish to the home, including archways, cut-out ceilings and conveniently placed built-ins.

Tour entry 91 received the First Runner-Up American Dream Award. The “Downing” model home, located at 24521 W. 110th St., is a three-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom home that includes a main-level master suite with a living area. An upstairs loft is an ideal spot for an office or additional living space, and a full basement can easily be finished for a media or recreation room, as well as additional bedrooms or storage space.

Both homes are priced at $249,950. The Spring Homes Tour continues through May 1, and the community is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Congratulations again to James Engle Custom Homes, and we hope to see you at Prairie Brook Villas soon!

Searching for a new home? Lenexa, Kan.-based Prime Development recently unveiled its newest community, an expansive, prairie-inspired retreat called Bluestem.

Located at the southeast corner of 151st St. and Quivira Rd. in Overland Park, Bluestem represents a rare opportunity for buyers to purchase homes on oversized lots that create a more open, less dense environment. For prospective buyers, that means a chance to purchase half-acre homesites at unprecedented price points.

The first phase is underway at Bluestem, and prospective homeowners can select from 75 homesites on which to create a custom-built home. Prices will typically range from $400,000s to the $800,000s+, and model homes are under construction from a renowned building team that includes James Engle Custom Homes, Rosier Homes, Summit Custom Homes and Starr Homes.

Check back to Prime Development’s blog for more updates on Bluestem, as well as the company’s other communities. The spring building season is upon us, which means now is a prime time to check out all that Prime Development has to offer!

Check back often for information on homes, builders, communities and all of the information you need, whether you’re in the market for a new home or simply want to stay updated on Kansas City’s real estate market. Thanks for reading!
