The two-story, four-bedroom Irving is a beautiful home by Rodrock Homes, brimming with features families love, like a spacious, open concept kitchen, generous island, countertops and storage and adjoining breakfast room. This model can be viewed in the Willow Grove neighborhood and built in any neighborhood in The Willows.
Joe and Julie Pascuzzi had always planned on downsizing once their youngest child left for college in the fall of 2021, but never imagined their next move would play out this way.
During a tour of the spring 2019 Parade of Homes, they fell in love with the convenience and style of reverse 1.5-story homes and found a Bickimer Homes floor plan in The Willows, a new Johnson County development at 143rd and Pflumm in Olathe. The Jefferson II, a 1.5-story Bickimer Home plan, already had the foundation poured on a lushly treed, spacious, and private home site, a requirement for the couple. Eighteen months ahead of their timeline, the Pascuzzi’s were choosing finishes and making design adjustments to match their lifestyle.
“We had previously lived in the area for 10 years, so were fans of the location,” said Julie Pascuzzi, whose home was completed in The Preserve neighborhood in December 2019. “Our home was only the second finished in The Willows, so it’s been exciting for us to see the community come to life — and so quickly! It’s certainly a popular destination for new home buyers.”
A Covenant – Rodrock Homes Community, The Willows is comprised of three neighborhoods — Willow Grove, Willow Pointe, and The Preserve — with amenities like a walking trail, zero entry pool and covered pavilion scheduled for completion this summer, a well-equipped playground and easy access to Johnson County dining, shopping, and attractions. The community is also situated in the sought-after, award-winning Blue Valley School District, a must for many families looking to purchase a new home.
For the Pascuzzi’s, who worked with Weichert Realtors Welch & Company real estate agent and The Willows community manager Amy Maher and Brian Patenaude and Jon Murray of Bickimer Homes, it was a seamless building experience.
“And who knew that the answer to our beautiful empty nester home was almost in our old backyard,” said Julie Pascuzzi.
Introducing Willow Pointe, gracious private villas nestled in a maintenance-free neighborhood. Maher is excited for buyers to discover The Willows final phase, Willow Pointe, a carefully curated neighborhood showcasing villa living from the low $600,000s to $750,000.
“It’s not a cookie-cutter setting where all of the homes look alike,” Maher said. “There are many stunning floor plans for buyers wanting to right-size from a traditional single-family residence. Buyers can choose to either build or purchase a home in process — currently nine villas are under construction. Benefits of living in this maintenance-provided neighborhood in The Willows are many and homeowners can find a home that embraces their life and style, enjoy the community amenities, and be near to everything Johnson County offers.”
Willow Pointe also boasts home sites backing up to picturesque green spaces.
“The demand for luxury villa living in a prime Johnson County location ensures that Willow Pointe home sites will go quickly,” Maher said. “Buyers will love the joys of simple living with tasks like mowing and shoveling no longer on their to-do list. It’s a unique maintenance-free environment sure to resonant with villa seekers and I encourage prospective villa buyers to visit us in our model home in Willow Grove to discuss the many options we offer.”
