At Falling Water, KB Home will construct 96 one- and two-story
homes and offer six distinct floor plans. With up to four bedrooms
and three baths, and ranging in size from approximately 1,600 to
2,550 square feet, the KB homes at Falling Water feature desirable
design characteristics like optional three-car garages, spacious
great rooms and elegant master suites. Pricing begins from the
$380,000s.
“KB Home is thrilled to debut our distinct home building process
and ENERGY STAR certified new homes to this vibrant market,” said
Ryan Kemp, president of KB Home’s Seattle division. “We believe
offering a highly efficient new home that can be personalized to
fit the needs of each customer’s unique lifestyle will resonate
with Seattle homebuyers.”
KB Home’s building process allows buyers to personalize many
aspects of their new home to suit their budget and style. After
selecting their lot and floor plan, KB homebuyers can work with
expert design consultants who will guide them through every aspect
of the process as they select from a variety of design choices,
including countertops, cabinets, lighting, appliances and window
coverings.
Located near Washington State Route 410, KB Home’s Falling Water
offers convenient commuting to Tacoma and the greater Seattle metro
area. Community schools, and dining, shopping, recreation and the
beautiful White River Amphitheater, which hosts live music, are all
within a few minutes’ drive. Nearby Victor Falls Park features a
tranquil hidden waterfall, and abundant natural surroundings are
waiting to be explored at Lake Tapps, Crystal Mountain Resort and
Mount Rainier National Park.
All the KB homes at Falling Water will be built to current
ENERGY STAR certification guidelines, will include WaterSense®
labeled faucets and fixtures, and will provide advanced indoor air
quality systems. Only 10 percent of new homes in the U.S. are
currently built to current ENERGY STAR certification guidelines. As
such, the KB homes at Falling Water are designed to be more energy
and water efficient than most typical new and resale homes
available in the area. These energy- and water-saving features are
estimated to help save homebuyers between $1,000 and $1,400 a year
in utility costs, adding up to potential savings of over $30,000
over the life of a 30-year mortgage, depending on floor plan.
“ENERGY STAR certified homes are at least 10 percent more energy
efficient than homes built to code and achieve a 20 percent
improvement on average, while also providing homeowners with better
quality, performance and comfort,” said Chris Hladick, EPA’s
Regional Administrator for Region 10. “Together with partners like
nine-time Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award Winner
KB Home, the ENERGY STAR New Homes Program helped homeowners save
three billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, avoid $400 million in
energy costs and achieve three million metric tons of greenhouse
gas reductions last year.”
KB Home will host a grand opening celebration at Falling Water
on Saturday, April 27, 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m., during which attendees
may tour the two elegantly appointed model homes and learn about
the benefits of owning an ENERGY STAR certified home. Refreshments
will be provided.
The Falling Water sales office is located at 17826 122nd St. Ct.
E. in Bonney Lake. From Hwy. 410 East, turn right on Sky Island Dr.
Turn left on Rhodes Lake Rd. E. and right on Falling Water Blvd. E.
