This classic 1.5-story home is custom-built and being sold by its original owner. Located on a tree-lined lot in the desirable Waterford community of Leawood, it features a timeless layout with generously sized rooms, formal dining, main-level laundry, and a side-entry garage. Though not recently updated, the home has been lovingly maintained—and with the right renovations, it has the potential to be truly spectacular.
Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and natural light throughout. The main level offers a private library, a spacious primary suite with fireplace, a well-appointed laundry room, and a kitchen with center island, built-in appliances, and ample cabinetry. The grand room features vaulted ceilings and a built-in wet bar, perfect for entertaining. The hearth room flows into a sunny breakfast nook and opens to a large composite deck overlooking a park-like backyard.
Upstairs includes a vaulted loft with skylights—ideal for a home office or creative retreat—plus spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets and Jack-and-Jill or private bath access. A private suite includes dual closets, one cedar-lined. The finished lower level features a rec room, wet bar, and flexible gathering space.
