In today’s housing market, many people are seeking greater flexibility, a carefree lifestyle and the peace of mind of “lock and leave.” The Fairway Villas at City Center offer this lifestyle along with the unique additions of golf course views and walkability to dining, community experiences and first-class recreational facilities. The one-of-a-kind location offers the uncommon combination of beautiful green vistas, just steps away from Lenexa’s civic, retail and recreational center.
Built by Lambie Custom Homes, these new, luxury, maintenance-free, for-lease living villas feature detailed craftsmanship and custom finish packages. The 2,300 square foot floor plans offer spacious main level living, featuring an open design for everyday comfort and entertaining. Oversized picture windows, extensive molding and trim, hand-scraped hardwood floors and premium carpet are throughout the home. Attached two-car garages offer security, convenience and privacy.
The living area includes a gas fireplace and separate dining area adjacent to the chef-inspired kitchen featuring custom-built, stained birch cabinets and a walk-in pantry. Premier kitchen finishes include granite countertops, brick-set subway-tiled backsplashes, and stainless-steel sinks and appliances, including a gas stove-top and oven and a side-by-side refrigerator with icemaker and external ice and water dispenser.
“These villas are like free-standing homes,” said Jeffrey Alpert, who markets the property with Melanie Mann for Park Place Partners. “Everything from the fixtures to the hardwood floors are premium, which is something you usually don’t find in a residence for lease.”
The main floor also features a secondary bedroom/office/den and full bathroom, a generous master bedroom and elegant master bathroom featuring twin lavatories, granite countertops, tile floors and a full tile shower with dual shower heads, and a huge closet next to the separate laundry room with a washer and dryer – all perfect for anyone who may be downsizing.
The lower level offers plenty of room for additional family members or guests with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious recreation/entertainment room. It also contains extensive storage space for off-season items.
“We designed these villas as a great lifestyle option with a lot of flexibility and great use of space, to suit a wide range of people from young couples, to families with children of any age where they have a place to play and hangout in a lower level rec room, to Baby Boomers,” said Mann. “They are also attractive to people looking for upscale executive housing.”
Mann also notes that empty nesters love the community because as a leased residence it offers an opportunity to “test drive” downsizing without purchasing a home. “Our villa leasing offers a care-free, luxury lifestyle without the constraints of home ownership in a truly unique setting, combined with spectacular golf course views alongside the amenities of Lenexa City Center.”
This boutique community overlooks three picturesque fairways of the Canyon Farms Golf Course and Golf Club. Through a special arrangement, Fairways residents may join the Club as either social or full members and enjoy the many amenities including the premier championship golf course clubhouse with public and private restaurants, a fitness center and swimming pool.
The community features quiet residential streets and connections to the greenway trails - a huge amenity for people who like walking, jogging and biking,” said Mann. “And we are at the top of a hill, so our views are incredible, both from inside the homes as well as from the covered verandas.”
Comprehensive 24/7 maintenance is also included. “This leased product, is truly full-service, inside and out,” said Alpert, “allowing the residents more free-time and the security of locking and leaving their home when travelling.”
Directly north, Lenexa City Center offers numerous restaurants and boutiques, the state-of-the-art Lenexa Rec Center, and the Lenexa Public Market featuring indoor and outdoor entertainment and activities. Construction is also underway for The District at City Center, a mixed-use, urban-style destination.
Residents are also minutes from quick and easy access to Highways I-435, I-35, K-10 and K-7, offering short drive times to metro area shopping, dining and entertainment venues throughout the area, KCI airport and Lawrence.
