Rich in Kansas City history, this 1895 Romanesque Revival offers over 6,200 sqft with 3 stories plus a basement. The home features 6–7 bedrooms, an office, and a third-floor ballroom - now being used as an oversized family room, along with 3 full and 2 half bathrooms—offering exceptional flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. Original character is found throughout with preserved woodwork, multiple fireplaces, and expansive living spaces that reflect the home’s historic scale and craftsmanship. Extensive interior enhancements include: a fully remodeled kitchen and primary suite, fresh paint throughout, refinished flooring, new carpet, and the addition of a third-floor full bath. Original wood trim, doors, and cabinetry have been meticulously restored, maintaining the home’s architectural integrity while elevating its livability.
Exterior improvements since 2023 include: a new roof and gutters, stone tuck-pointing, chimney repairs with new caps, new storm windows, repaired and refinished wood windows, new windows in the ballroom, primary suite, and basement, fresh exterior paint, refinished basement window grilles, updated fencing, replaced deck soffit, and new landscaping. A detached garage includes an electric car charger, and the fenced yard adds convenience and privacy.
Major utility updates include: all new plumbing, removal of the house trap, 3 new AC units, 3 new gas furnaces with new air supply and return ducts, 2 new water heaters, updated electrical wiring, and all new kitchen appliances.
Situated in the heart of Kansas City’s historic Westside, the home was once the site of the Mattie Rhodes Day Nursery beginning in 1916. Located minutes from restaurants, shops, the streetcar, and downtown.
