Presenting a historic masterpiece in Brookside! This distinguished home, built in 1908 carries incredible historical significance. Sellers have thoughtfully invested in the home with a new roof, new boiler, all new drywall in the basement, plus extensive electrical and plumbing updates. All updates are noted in supplements.
The 24-inch limestone exterior walls and 18-inch deep window wells show the kind of craftsmanship you don’t see today. Designed by Wilder & Wright, the architects behind the Nelson-Atkins Museum, this residence is a true architectural gem. With a Kansas City Historic Landmark designation, it stands as an important piece of local history.
Set on an oversized lot of nearly half an acre, this three-story home offers generous living spaces. On the first floor you’ll find a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry/laundry room, mudroom, and breakfast room, along with a convenient half bath. The second floor features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an office, and an enclosed sun porch. The third floor includes an additional bedroom and bonus living area. The basement provides multiple finished rooms for flexible use.
Out back, native plants and an established garden flourish with rhubarb, asparagus, and herbs. At the end of the block you’ll find a neighborhood park, and the newly expanded streetcar route will soon stretch all the way to nearby Whole Foods, offering easy public transportation downtown.
The property was pre-inspected, the report is available upon request, and the majority of items noted have already been addressed, providing peace of mind for the next owner.
Own a piece of Kansas City’s history and experience the elegance of this extraordinary home!
