Coming Soon 9/8On the market for the first time in more than 60 years, this 5-bedroom, 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 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 with the potential to convert existing space into additional finished square footage. Outside, a covered front porch extends into a charming front sun porch, while a back deck provides space for outdoor living and entertaining. Several major improvements are already in place, including a newer HVAC system, new sewer line from the house to the city main, and new water heater. The home does need a new roof and cosmetic updates, giving the next owner the opportunity to renovate and restore the home while preserving its original character. This location is hard to beat. The neighborhood playground is two doors away, and you’re right down the street from the KC Streetcar, Whole Foods, South Plaza’s Restaurant Row, and the Trolley Track Trail, with Loose Park and the Country Club Plaza just minutes away. 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 Kansas City’s most desirable areas at an entry point that allows you to create value. Bring your vision, restore the character, and make this home your own.
