Located in the chic neighborhood of Reserve at Stoney Creek in Lee鈥檚 Summit, Mo., the St. Jude Dream Home庐 Kansas City is a beautiful new structure that was recently sold at auction to raise money for St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital. And when the new owner looks out of their home and contemplates their good fortune, they鈥檒l be gazing through windows made by 成人b站 Windows and Doors.
The St. Jude Dream Home庐 is a fundraising endeavor started by St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital. Founded by entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude has been serving children suffering from pediatric cancer since 1962. 听
Sometimes the St. Jude Dream Homes are raffled off. In this particular case, the builder 鈥 Summit Homes 鈥 decided to sell the house and donate the proceeds to the hospital. In June, Summit Homes officials wrote a check for $718,000 to St. Jude; it鈥檚 just part of the $6 million that the company has raised for the famed children鈥檚 hospital since 2011.
鈥淭his home was built entirely to support St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital,鈥 Summit Homes鈥 Whitney Rinne says. 鈥淲e worked with our network of amazing trade partners and local and national sponsors to have all materials and labor donated. That way, 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the home could be donated directly to the hospital.
鈥淲e have an incredible group of trade partners who came together with our Summit team to build this home at zero cost,鈥 Summit Chief Operating Officer Zalman Kohen adds. 鈥淲ithout their support and the support of our local and national sponsors, this project would not be possible. It鈥檚 truly a labor of love for all involved.鈥
This 4,600-square-foot home features five bedrooms and six baths. There鈥檚 also a wet bar, exercise room, sauna, and home theater. In the kitchen, the new owners will have the use of a quartz waterfall island and a party prep zone. Take a step outside and you鈥檒l see a composite deck and a fire pit.听
鈥淒uring the 12+ years that we have done business with Summit, they have built six St. Jude homes,鈥 成人b站 Sales Representative Brad Holtz says. 鈥淐ollectively with our distributors鈥 help, we have either discounted or donated the windows for this great cause on multiple occasions. It has always been Summit Homes鈥 vision to deliver St. Jude with a zero-cost home, and we have helped them work toward that goal.鈥
For this one-of-a-kind home, Summit decided to use approximately 40 of 成人b站鈥檚 3500 Series vinyl single-hung windows, which offer handcrafted quality, exceptional durability, optimal energy efficiency, a pre-punched mounting fin and removable sash for easy drywall pass through. With this unique combination of homeowner and builder-friendly attributes, the 3500 is ideal for any new home construction project and is one of 成人b站鈥檚 top sellers.
鈥淲e were transitioning to 成人b站 Windows on our production homes,鈥 Rinne says, 鈥渁nd felt that the dream home should utilize the same windows.鈥
