The sights and sounds of city living are just minutes away, yet the high quality of design and construction materials used make it an exceptionally quiet place to live. From the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and Nelson-Atkins Museum to the Country Club Plaza and Crossroads Arts District, an enticing mix of locally owned boutiques, bistros and bars are within easy reach.Each home at One Park Place provides the perfect backdrop for holiday entertaining. The festively decorated Grand Lobby welcomes visitors to a sprawling, opulent first-floor space that is carefully laid out with a selection of resort-style amenities. A beautiful blend of interior architectural design and incredible views create an ideal setting to host a winter soiree for friends and family, the marketing team said. Homeowners have the perfect setting in which to serve their favorite varietals in the wine tasting room, adjacent to the temperature-controlled wine cellar. Family and friends can enjoy being entertained in the multi-screen media lounge equipped with flat-screen televisions, an inviting bar area, a fully equipped kitchen and spacious party room. Touring One Park Place?s four furnished models allows visitors to sample life in this high-rise building and experience the panoramic views. The newest model on the 16th floor features three bedrooms plus a study and 31/2 bathrooms. With just over 3,000 square feet, this home is offered at $700,000. Designed to be comfortable and family-friendly, this featured condo sets the stage for entertaining and its views extend for miles.Upon entering this home, buyers will appreciate the open space concept of the kitchen and living areas.

According to Andrew Mall, who markets the building along with Mindy Hix and Ellen Vap, One Park Place welcomed more new owners in 2012 than any other luxury condo community in Kansas City. New inventory of move-in-ready homes that defy cookie cutter floor plans, coupled with lower pricing, resulted in an increase in sales for 2010, 2011 and 2012. ?The livability of the neighborhood, coupled with a blend of rich amenities present buyers with an opportunity to live in a building unlike any other in Kansas City,? Mall said. ?Buyers recognize the exceptional value of what is provided at One Park Place.?Though all interior construction was completed in early 2011, significant improvements were made to the main indoor garage this year, as a final phase of the construction project. This represented a major capital improvement to the property, at the developer?s expense and came with a 20-year warranty to the HOA, providing a significant and positive impact on projected reserve spending needs. Along with the completion of the garage construction came enhancements to the building?s plaza level, which opens on to a wide expanse of natural and urban views. Beautiful new furnishings complement this inviting indoor/outdoor area, which is used for barbecues and badminton in the summer and is a favorite spot for viewing the skyline?s twinkling lights in the winter. In all directions and over both sides of the state line, scenes of a vibrant cityscape can be seen. In addition to the benefits of FHA approval, a real estate property tax abatement that will reduce the amount of property taxes owed by approximately 90 percent in place until 2016 represents a substantial, bottom-line benefit for homeowners, making their dollars stretch farther.

Schoolhouse Shades Lend Texas-Sized Style to Austin Kitchen ...

We love hearing from our customers about their home improvement and construction projects.?One comment we hear quite often these days is that when building or buying a brand new home, homeowners strive to create a house with the character that is more often found in older homes. That effortless, lived-in look of a house that just belongs on a piece of land and has been?graced with thoughtful touches from the past. Such is this shotgun-style home in an historic neighborhood in south Austin, Texas. Though?new construction, the kitchen gives a definite nod to history in a space filled with vintage details.

From the beadboard walls and subway tile backsplash to the industrial style stools, this kitchen is oozing with character. Yet it still has a fresh, gourmet-kitchen feel with the sleek stainless appliances and hood, the pot filler, and the glass front cabinets. The schoolhouse shades overhanging the cherry breakfast bar come straight from the 1920s when this style of lighting was first introduced in government buildings, libraries, and yes, the local schoolhouse.

To get this look in your kitchen, check out our Early Electric Schoolhouse Pendant, part of our expanding collection of Schoolhouse Lights. Four shade sizes are available ranging from 12? to 18? and you can choose from six different stem lengths. The opaque glass shade emits a soft glow perfect for casual conversation at a breakfast bar or dining room table. The stem and neck can be finished in your choice of colors. More than 20 finishes are at your fingertips from traditional shades of Black or Architectural Bronze to brighter colors like Medium Blue or Yellow that will give your American made schoolhouse shade a more retro feel.

For a similar schoolhouse shade with a different mounting, consider The Fairfax Schoolhouse Pendant which features a three-foot chain hung mounting. This fixture comes in one of five traditional finishes including Polished Brass, Old Bronze, or Satin Nickel.

Syrian rebels battled regime troops south of Damascus on Friday and Internet and most telephone lines were cut for a second day, but the government reopened the road to the capital's airport in a sign the fighting could be calming, activists said.

BEIRUT (AP) ? Activists are reporting clashes near the airport of the Syrian capital, Damascus, as Internet and cellular telephones continued to be cut for the third day.

A day earlier, 20 Lebanese were killed inside Syria while fighting alongside rebels to topple President Bashar Assad. The news heightened tensions in neighboring Lebanon.

Lebanese troops deployed to the northern city of Tripoli after the deaths were announced late Friday and Sunni Muslim gunmen fired into the air in tribute. The city was clam Saturday.

The vast majority of Syria's rebels are also Sunnis. Assad ? along with his most elite troops ? belongs to the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Syria-based activist Mohammed Saeed reported heavy fighting and shelling near Damascus' airport Saturday.
