Leawood Custom Build Residence

Riffing off a coastal-style home that inspired them, the homeowners sought a well-appointed retreat from life’s hectic pace for their family while still creating a hub for kids to gather and spaces to entertain friends both indoors and out. By marrying classic transitional designs with mid-century charm, this home has evolved into a warm, organized, personalized residence.

The floor plan incorporates everything on the entertainment-friendly wishlist, including a wine cellar, a full-sized sports court and a lush, sheltered outdoor living space with a pool and a fire feature. Additionally, there are quiet places throughout the home for the couple to escape to for relaxation.

In addition to embracing a soothing, neutral palette of creamy whites and various ocean-hued blues on custom cabinets and artwork throughout the home’s interior, the finishes contribute texture to the overall mood. The great room introduces the use of wood accents found across the expansive home, with gorgeous custom shelves flanking the extra-large gas fireplace. A handsome bar downstairs also repeats the wood-accent motif. Gleaming marble quartz on the kitchen’s countertops and an oversized waterfall island channel the minimalist tone repeated in the house, such as the mosaic marble-tile floor found in the spa-like primary bath and the main-level powder room. Juxtaposed against the subdued color scheme are dark-stained rift-oak wood floors, polishing off the design with some chic contrast.
