The The Cottages at Woodridge, Ranch Style Cottage Living at its Best

The Cottages at Woodridge in Overland Park offers the warmth and refinement of an intimate village, uniquely designed single-story homes and the care-free lifestyle of maintenance provided living, located west on 132nd and Metcalf over highway 69.

Featuring an innovative new building concept that revolutionized the concept of attached single-family homes, the Cottages at Woodridge is so distinctive that it was granted a utility patent. With three exterior walls, each home enjoys the same potential light sources as most detached homes.

Designed by one of Kansas City's most gifted architects, Wolfgang Trost, the ranch-style cottage homes range in size from 1,560 to more than 2,200 sq. ft. of living space. The beauty of these cottage homes are highlighted by features such as elegant arched entryways and windows, dramatic cathedral ceilings, extra-wide doorways with French or pocket doors, spacious dining and living rooms, solariums opening onto beautiful stone-enclosed patios, gas-log fireplaces and an abundance of pantry and storage space. Home prices range from $239,000 and up.

Many standard features, normally considered upgrades in other developments, include granite countertops, wood laminate and ceramic tile floors, 42-inch maple cabinetry and kitchen appliances. Each home also features a finished, oversized two-car garage and the convenience of universal design techniques incorporated to make each home remarkably accessible. Extra-wide doorways and the absence of steps are certainly noticeable and greatly appreciated elements of the universal design.

The Cottages at Woodridge are situated on private cobblestone-accented driveways and face out into an English-inspired courtyard graced by a gazebo, verdant interior green spaces and attractive landscaping and statuary. The courtyards provide an environment where people can mingle and get to know their neighbors, creating a neighborhood within a neighborhood. The courtyards are intimate, yet with enough space and distance to afford total privacy when desired.

As a maintenance provided community, homeowners enjoy a carefree lifestyle where building exterior (including roofs), lawn care and landscaping, in-ground sprinkler systems and snow and trash removal are all taken care of. The remarkably reasonable homeowners association dues also cover water in each home, common area water usage, fire and hazard insurance and professional management services. Each home also comes with a 10-year structural warranty.

Since The Cottages at Woodridge is located in the heart of Johnson County, residents are close to a wide variety of dining, shopping, entertainment and recreational opportunities. Its convenient location also provides easy access to major highways and interstates, putting the rest of the Metro area just minutes away.

The Cottages at Woodridge is exclusively managed by Reece and Nichols. For more information about The Cottages at Woodridge, contact Sonja Stoskopf at 913-980-7800. The sales center is located at 13160 Goodman Ave. (Antioch to 132nd St., east to Cottages) and is open Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday 1-4 p.m.
