Description
On the market for the first time in more than 60 years, this 5-bed, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to create something truly your own in coveted Countryside Homes in South Plaza. Built in 1910, this home has great bones and beautiful original woodwork that the longtime owner painstakingly restored by removing layers of paint to reveal the craftsmanship underneath. A classic center-hall floor plan features an inviting entry, beautiful staircase, and a second back staircase, both leading to a large central landing upstairs. Fireplaces in both the living room and upstairs primary bedroom add even more character. The main level features a primary bedroom, oversized full bathroom with an adjacent laundry area, and kitchen with the opportunity to expand into the adjoining breakfast room. The second floor offers four additional bedrooms and a sleeping porch. Outside, a covered front porch extends into a charming front sun porch, while the backyard has space and untapped potential for additional outdoor living and entertaining. Several major improvements are already in place, including new sewer line from the house to the city main (2024), a newer HVAC (2015 AC, 2024 Heat) and new water heater (2022). The home needs a new roof and cosmetic updates, giving the next owner the opportunity to renovate and restore the home while preserving its original character. The neighborhood is hard to beat, with a playground two doors away, and being down the street from the KC Streetcar, Whole Foods, South Plaza's Restaurant Row, Trolley Track Trail, Loose Park and the Country Club Plaza. This is an established neighborhood where fully renovated homes command a premium. For the buyer willing to put in the work, this is a chance to get into one of KC's most desirable areas at an entry point allowing you to create value. Bring your vision, and make this home your own.
