Woodcrest Homes Building Beauty in Grain Valley

Building homes is a family affair for Larry Yancik. His Dad built houses for 40 years. Both of his brothers are home builders as well. Larry himself started out as a trim and cabinet worker prior to getting into building homes in the year 2000.

Larry and his wife Tina are the proud developers of Grayleigh Park in Grain Valley along Duncan Road next to the Rosewood Hills subdivision. Woodcrest Homes by Y5 Development have partnered with Logan Sousley in the endeavor. The Yancik’s named the development after who else but a family member, their granddaughter Grayleigh.

The 62-lot development also contains street names such as Taylor, Bailey, Madi, and Mya who are daughters of and granddaughters of Yancik and Sousley. Potential homebuyers interested in looking at a model home within the new edition may visit 1803 NW Nicholas Drive. You will be greeted warmly by the Yancik’s who are proud of what they deliver to customers in homes with high quality design and finishes.

“We chose to develop in Grain Valley because it’s close to home. Grayleigh Park is approximately 20 acres, and we have sold all the existing lots to builders. Logan, my partner has been building homes in Grain Valley for a long time as well. He owns Blue Springs Bowl and is a member of the Elk’s Lodge and enjoys this community,” Yancik said.

The attention to detail Yancik pays is hard to miss upon entering one of his homes. Potential buyers are greeted with open floor plans, stone fire places, subway tiled kitchen backsplashes, complimentary and contrasting colors (such as white, gray, and black), ample counter space and islands that provide much needed room, sliding barn style closet doors, wagon wheel design center piece ceiling fans for the main living area, stylish trim, and engineered hardwood floors.

The design elements are repeated throughout the house in unique ways, to make everything feel connected and one large continuous space. Examples of this may include granite counter tops in the kitchen that contain the same colors as cabinetry and hardware as well as subway tile design in both the kitchen and bathrooms.

The ceiling inlets in bedrooms along with the vent hood in the kitchen may match the hardwood floor design. All this along with the grand and elegant trim surrounding windows, doors, and closets make a strong impression.

“I’ve remodeled homes as well, and it seems like one of the first things I would always do is tear out walls. Open floor plans are very popular right now as a building trend. Large kitchen islands and vent hoods seem to be popular as well,” Yancik said. “Engineered hardwood floors wear well. I have a large Great Dane and the flooring stands up well to pets. People also seem to like enamel more than stains currently.”

The current homebuying market is producing visitors to open houses within Grayleigh Park despite a tough winter in the metro area. Springs also tends to pick up traffic to new home building sites with things like the Spring Tour of Homes.

Yancik is pleased with the way things are headed in the home buying market.

“Things have improved since the end of the recession and we are optimistic about the current home market. People seem to be itching to get out and do things since it’s no longer 10 degrees outside.”
