Details

This isn't your average starter home, that's for sure. Sitting at a cool $2,503,800, this 2023-built single-family home in Overland Park boasts a whopping 5,013 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The Zestimate sits right at that asking price, and frankly, it's $499 per square foot – which is pretty steep. The Zestimate history shows a dramatic 109% increase in value over the last two years, jumping from around $1.2 million to its current mark, so that's something to consider. When you look at comparable homes, the price point seems to be in a higher bracket. For instance, a 5 bed, 5 bath, 2.6k sqft home nearby sold for $1,783,600, and other 5-bedroom homes around 5k sqft in Leawood are listed as "off market" or have no price readily available, but still, this one stands out.

The home itself is designed by Willis Custom Homes, promising an innovative and stunning layout. You'll find a grand entry, a spectacular staircase (floating or curved!), and a bar right on the main level. The great room opens to a lanai, and there's a large dining area overlooking a gourmet kitchen that also has a separate prep/catering kitchen – perfect for entertaining. The primary suite sounds like a retreat with unique ceiling details and a spa-like bath. The lower level is where the real party is, with options for a wine room, whiskey tasting room, golf simulator, or home gym, plus more bar space. This place is clearly built for hosting, with the flexibility to add two to three more bedrooms. It does come with a 4-car garage, but fitting this plan on a lot is apparently a selective process. The HOA fee is $350 a month.
