    What's special

    Delightful two-story historic gemBoarding houseHalf bathLarge covered front porchLaundry roomExtra tall windowsCovered deck
    Welcome to your new home in the heart of Excelsior Springs, a stones throw away from the quaint downtown. This delightful two-story historic gem, built in 1920, offers a warm and inviting ambiance that leaves nothing to be desired. When you enter the home you'll be greeted by character and charm, highlighted by beautiful original woodwork and a stunning fireplace that adds a touch of nostalgia. Loads of natural light pour in through the extra tall windows, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere throughout. The main floor is home to the living room, dining room, kitchen (which leads to the back yard), and half bath/laundry room combo for added convenience. With 1,274 square feet, you'll be surprised how incredibly spacious it feels. As you make your way upstairs, you'll find all 3 bedrooms thoughtfully situated for privacy and comfort. Each bedroom offers more than expected space. The full bathroom with a clawfoot tub serves the second level of the home. The large covered front porch invites you to sit back and enjoy peaceful moments with your favorite people. In the back yard you will find another covered deck that is freshly refinished. The yard is the perfectly convenient size, offers shade, and is full privacy fenced. If you have been dreaming of owning a home with character and charm while offering all the modern comforts this is the one for you! Come and see for yourself so you can start creating a lifetime of cherished memories in this wonderful community! Rest at ease knowing in 2019 all electrical and plumbing were brought up to date! The upstairs ac/heat pump is also 4 years young and sure to keep you comfy on warmest of days. Additionally, this home is part of the Boarding House Historic District. This allows the property owner to apply for federal or state historic *tax credits* It's also in the Chapter 353 Tax Abatement district, so there are funds available for property improvements there as well.
