Excitement in Kansas City: HGTV Urban Oasis 2024 Winner Announced

In a thrilling announcement from HGTV, a member of the Warner Bros. Discovery brand family, Anna Bublitz from Overland Park, Kansas, has been named the winner of the 2024 HGTV Urban Oasis. This remarkable win is especially significant as Anna is the first local resident to claim the grand prize in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri.

The grand prize package is valued at over $700,000 and includes a beautifully remodeled and fully furnished home, all furnishings, and a cash prize of $50,000. Anna, who is a director of operations at a marketing company, entered the sweepstakes for the very first time this year, motivated by the dream of winning a stunning home giveaway in her own city. With the help of reminder notifications, she and her husband, Jake, diligently entered the contest twice a day.

Expressing her disbelief at winning, Anna shared, "I never imagined I would actually win. I thought, 'Why not enter?' But when my best friend Aubree picked me up for brunch and drove me to the house, I was completely shocked. I literally stopped in my tracks and blacked out—it felt like a dream!"

To add to the excitement, Anna lives only 20 minutes away from the winning home, which was randomly selected from millions of entries during the contest period that began on October 2 and ended on November 21, 2024. Although she had some family and friends present for the big reveal, Jake was out of town and took some convincing to believe her incredible news. Anna remarked, "My family is the best, the most supportive people ever."

The beautiful home features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an impressive 2,200 square feet of living space. The design expertly combines modern aesthetics with warm, natural materials, starting from the eye-catching ash tree beams in the living room to the vibrant blue cabinetry in the kitchen. The home's outdoor space is perfectly designed for entertaining, equipped with a dining area, lounge seating, and a cozy fire pit.

Inspired by Kansas City’s rich cultural heritage, the interior includes a music-themed lounge that boasts skylights and a snack bar. The main bedroom is transformed into a serene haven, showcasing retro elements along with a private balcony, walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is a playful bunk room characterized by high ceilings and vibrant colors, while the guest room radiates a whimsical charm with abundant natural light. Also noteworthy is the basement, which has been converted into a wellness center that features a gym, sauna, and tea bar.

When asked for advice for those hoping to win in future sweepstakes, Anna encouraged them to embrace the possibility, stating, "Why not enter every day? You never know when luck might be on your side."

The 2024 HGTV Urban Oasis has garnered sponsorships from industry leaders including Chamberlain Group, LL Flooring, Masonite Corporation, VELUX® Skylights, and Wayfair®.
