Nestled within the vibrant Mission Oaks Estates secluded neighborhood just north of 103rd and Mission Road in Overland Park, Kansas, stands an architectural marvel that embodies elegance, innovation, and a touch of contemporary flair. The Delano, a breathtaking creation by the renowned Suma Design & Construction, is a testament to the extraordinary vision of owner Mark Sumada and his team of dedicated professionals.
At first glance, The Delano exudes a sense of modern sophistication with its sleek cedar shiplap siding and acrylic stucco facade, complemented by three separate garage doors that adds a touch of refinement to home. The custom double front door, featuring panel geometric glass elements, welcomes guests into a world of luxury and style.
Step inside, and you are greeted by a symphony of design elements that seamlessly blend form and function throughout its roughly 3,800 square feet of living space. The heart of the home, the great room, is a spacious sanctuary bathed in natural light that flows effortlessly from the floor-to-ceiling windows. A contemporary linear fireplace, framed in marble, serves as the focal point of this inviting space, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, boasting contemporary full overlay cabinets with quartz tops, walnut uppers, and a striking island that exudes elegance and practicality. Opaque glass cabinets flank the range hood, adding a touch of sophistication to the sleek kitchen design. The owners of this home decided against floating shelves and opted for a window instead, inviting more natural light into the space and creating an open and airy atmosphere.
A design highlight of The Delano is the covered screened porch, accessible from the great room through 12′ scissor doors, which open to a composite flooring deck with stainless steel handrails. This outdoor oasis is the perfect spot to relax and unwind, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The master suite is a serene retreat, featuring a box vaulted ceiling accented with walnut insets and trim, a luxurious master bath with waterfall quartz tops, walnut cabinets, and a freestanding tub complemented by an accent wall that exudes elegance and sophistication. The custom touches, such as the heated ceramic flooring and vessel bowl sinks with black faucets, add a touch of luxury to this private sanctuary.
The lower level of The Delano offers additional living space, with two bedrooms and a stylish bar area that features a geometric backsplash design reminiscent of the late 20th century graphic artist, MC Escher. The lower-level bar boasts quartz countertops, blue-grey enamel cabinets, and a chic design that is both functional and visually stunning.
Suma expanded on his Santa Clarita III model to create The Delano for the owners who desired additional living space. The home has three separate garages and a cedar and stucco exterior that has an acrylic finish with the color built into it for more durability. Further, the chandelier in the entryway can be manipulated via its wires to create a design of your choice. Additionally, a bedroom on the main level has been converted to an office, enhancing the functionality of the home.
Throughout The Delano, attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the walnut cabinets in the kitchen to the heated ceramic flooring in the bathroom. The seamless integration of contemporary design elements, luxurious finishes, and innovative features make this home a true masterpiece of modern living.
It is clear The Delano reflects Suma Design’s commitment to excellence and dedication to creating homes that not only meet but exceed the expectations of their discerning clients. With its impeccable craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and unparalleled attention to detail, The Delano stands as a shining example of contemporary luxury living at its finest.
The Delano is more than just a house – it is a work of art, a testament to the passion and expertise of the talented team at Suma Design. With its exquisite design, innovative features, and luxurious amenities, this modern marvel is sure to captivate and inspire all who have the privilege of experiencing its beauty and elegance.
