Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to share an exciting new construction homes in Kent! This one is a real gem, built by the renowned local builder, Connor Homes. I’ve been following this development since before they even released their first home, and now that their model home is open, it’s time to show you what’s in store.
This new community is a small, intimate collection of 16 homes, and if you’re looking for spacious living, this is a fantastic option. These homes range from 4 to 5 bedrooms, featuring gourmet kitchens, outdoor living spaces, and some even offer the option for a main floor bedroom—perfect if you’re looking to avoid stairs.
I’ve had the chance to visit the private community park they’ve built, and let me tell you, it’s a great size for family activities or just enjoying some downtime. Plus, it’s conveniently located near Highway 167 and 405, making commuting a breeze. This is an ideal spot for anyone wanting a home with easy access to everything Kent and Renton have to offer.
Why Choose Connor Homes?
For those unfamiliar with Connor Homes, they’ve been in the Seattle area for more than 65 years. The company started with two brothers—one of whom graduated from the University of Washington—and together, they built a legacy of homes focused on quality, durability, and environmental design. Their homes are renowned for using high-quality materials like HardiePlank siding, which is almost lifetime-quality, ensuring your home stays beautiful and sturdy for years to come.
Connor Homes is known for its attention to detail, especially when it comes to building homes with less chemicals and incorporating the latest technology to make life easier. For example, their homes offer water-saving features and, if you want to future-proof your home, you can even add a Tesla charging outlet!
If you love the Pacific Northwest scenery, you’ll appreciate the large windows throughout the homes that bring in lots of natural light, making the most of the surrounding views. I’m particularly excited about the outdoor living spaces, with glass panels and iron rails that combine style and functionality.
