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. Follow the KB
