Classsic Tudor

The old and the new meet...the result is stunning. Gourmet Kitchen, bricked Sun Room, spacious Family room with windows across the back, plus picturesque landscaping that provides beauty and privacy.





This classic Tudor style is located in Fairway, Kansas; one of many towns which make up Johnson County. Fairway is a rather popular area, even though the land area is only one square mile. What makes it so desireable is the charm and the location. The much over used phrase, "Location, Location, Location", is so true when you are talking about Fairway.

The City Of Fountains

Kansas City....the "City Of Fountains". Truly beautiful. As you drive north on Ward Parkway, early on a spring morning, the trees are budding and the flowers are blooming, you come upon the circle fountain at Meyer Boulevard...gorgeous!



The interest in fountains began in the late 1800s. The first fountains were practical in purpose. They were of animals like birds, horses, dogs, etc.; the fountains were for beautification of the city. It was not until the early 1900s, the development of the Country Club Plaza, by J.C. Nichols, and his use of fountains to replicate the town of Seville, Spain, when the interest in fountains exploded.




A walk thru the Country club plaza, music on the corners, with an unexpected fountain here and there. My favorite is the "Boy and The Frog" fountain found at 302 Nichols Road & Central Avenue. The fun and innocence of childhood is depicted in this fountain.
