Modern Kansas City Home - Westside

If you ever visited the west side of downtown Kansas City you know about this amazing little area and the offerings it brings to Kansas City and those who know about the area.  Summit Street with its tree lined and covered roadway features amazing older homes mixed in with ultra modern newer homes that seem to add to the area without making one feel as if it doesn't belong.

With smaller shops and restaurants popping up this area is one of my favorites.  With warmer weather coming, I am looking forward to enjoying a cold beer in the beer garden at Westside Local while tasting their interesting menu.  Summit Street is simply a gem here in Kansas City.

One of the many reasons I love this is area is for the amazing modern homes that are being built.  This amazing 3 bedroom, 2 full, and 2 half bathroom home features clean lines, a rooftop terrace, outdoor covered kitchen, separate artist quarters with its own entrance, a 3 car garage, and amazing views.

Offered by Bob Ludwig of Reece & Nichols Mission, the interior of this amazing property features top of the line materials throughout that blend and flow into the design and feel of the home. Exposed beams, stair frames, and glass make this home feel very modern but in a manner that is very inviting.

The exterior features outdoor living space and landscaping to allow this property to blend in to the surrounding area all while showcasing the ultra modern design that makes this home stick out in a good way.  Simply put this home is one of my favorites in Kansas City for its design and its location.

Built in lived in by an area architect this property is just blocks aways from restaurants, shopping, the Crossroads Art District, The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Kansas City's downtown and Power and Light Entertainment District, and the Sprint Center.

Waterfront Missouri Style - Lake of the Ozarks

For many states in the middle of the US the going to the beach thing would be a really huge task and simply not possible without a very long drive or hopping on a flight.  Instead of the ocean many of us spend time on the waters of nearby lakes.

The Lake of the Ozarks here in central Missouri.  The lake was formed in the early 1930s when a dam was built to help bring power to the folks in the area and region.  With 1100 miles of shoreline Lake of the Ozarks has been a popular destination for many.  With sprawling resorts and the vast amount of available real estate the lake area population has been growing now for many years and explodes each summer.

With the popularity of the Lake of the Ozarks many massive properties have been built over the years.  Today's "Dream Property of the Day" features an amazing property!

With over 10,000 sq ft all on a 2+ acre lake front lot this massive home is it all.  From an award winning pool, to its 6 bedrooms, and 7.5 baths one can only be in awe.  The top of the line features both inside and out not only provide the luxury one would expect with a property like this, but does so in a way that doesn't take away from the beauty of the Ozark mountains and lake!

The home also features a 4000 sq ft carriage house, 730' of shoreline, 5 fireplaces, hidden rooms, dual kitchens, and much more.  Located in a gated golf community, residents can escape the hustle and bustle of the city life and relax away those summer days in luxury.  All of this for just under $6,000,000.

For more information please contact listing agent Alex Tembelis.

Real Estate Tip of the Day:  If you're thinking about selling your home make sure to take a step back and look at the home as if you were a buyer.  Removing clutter is one of the most important things you can do.  As much as everyone loves personal items and pictures, they can be a distraction for buyers. So when you prepare to sell your home be sure to remove as much of the personal items at possible so you can keep the focus of the buyers on the home and not the great pictures and fun times you've had with your family.

Ultra Modern Floating House

In parts of the country, and the world for that matter, one can find homes that actually float on various bodies of water.  Not to be confused with boats, these floating properties are homes that are built on top of the water rather than on land.  If you've seen the movie Sleepless in Seattle you have seen a floating home.  

In the Dream Property of the Day I try to find properties all over the world that really stick out and offer something different.   Sometimes the location is what you crave and sometimes the property itself is what really sets the home apart.  In the particular case an ultra-modern floating home clearly sticks out.

Offered at $3.45 million dollars by listing agent Mary Morris this amazing floating home in Seattle features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, a 850 sq ft +/- roof top terrace, a boat lift, and deeded parking!  With over 2800 sq ft this floating home screams luxury.

 With its upgraded just about everything this modern property was designed for complete luxury and comfort while capitalizing on the major selling points which are the views.  If you would like to know more about this property please visit Mary Morris' website.  

Thanks for taking a look at the Dream Property of the Day.  Real Estate is something I love and love to share.  If you would like to see my listings click Team Kauffman

Today we head south of the Boarder to Mexico.  The Banyan Tree Mauakoba community features 132 designed villas that feature an Asian and Caribbean feel that creates a very calm and peaceful environment.  The community differs with your typical development near the vacation city of Cancun by being more inland sitting on natural lagoons and waterways but still just minutes from the beaches.

www.jetsetresidences.com describes the development as such:

"Signature Banyan Tree features include private pools, outdoor jet-pool, spacious terraces overlooking Mayakoba's lagoons, golf fairways, mangroves, and the Caribbean Sea.
As an owner, you will have full access to the hotel facilities, including exquisite modern Thai cuisine, the Spa pavilions and the Banyan Tree Mayakoba private beach club. And not least El Camaleon, a Greg Norman-designed championship golf course that is host to the PGA Tour's Mayakoba Golf Classic.

Magical Setting


Lagoons and waterways weave magically through Mayakoba and one of the Caribbean's most spectacular beaches is not far away. Add the colorful underwater world of the Great Mayan Reef the setting is absolutely magical.
There are direct flights from more than 15 European cities and more than 25 US cities to Cancun International Airport.wners of the 50 villas may participate in an optional rental program managed by Banyan Tree."
