807 E 47th St, Kansas City, MO 64110

Exciting opportunity to live in one of the really cool stone homes you may have noticed in the Historic Rockhill neighborhood. Developed & built by William Rockhill Nelson at the turn of the 20th century, the stone walls in this home are 18 inches thick, & they provide wonderful insulation from heat, cold and noise! The current owners have renovated the kitchen w/Miele appliances & gourmet ice maker & primary bathroom w/a Kohler Smart Shower. Paneling was removed & the plaster walls were smoothed & painted throughout. Two special bonus spaces are the front covered porch & the primary bedroom's "sleeping porch" which would make a great office, nursery, studio...The back deck was rebuilt, raised beds were added along with landscaping & a nice pathway around the gardens. Much of the electrical & plumbing have been updated along with a new electrical panel. There are also 2 massive stone fireplaces that are amazing focal points in the living room & the primary bedroom. Rockhill is on the National & Local Register of Historic Places. Fantastic location close to downtown Kansas City & walking distance to SO much--The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, The Kauffman Gardens, Kauffman's Legacy Park & Orchard, Conservation Discovery Center, The Country Club Plaza, Theis Park, Gillham Park, UMKC, The Kansas City Art Institute, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art & even Whole Foods! Plus a short walk to the streetcar line stop at 47th & Main! A bonus of this particular stone home is that it is the only one that has a gate in the backyard that walks out to the paths of the Conservation area & Legacy Park & its small lake. BIG NEWS IS THAT EMANUEL CLEAVER II BLVD. (OR 47TH ST) WILL GO FROM 4 LANES TO 2 WITH MUCH IMPROVED, PROTECTED & WIDE BIKE LANES & A TURN LANE. DESIGNATED CROSS WALKS ARE ALSO BEING ADDED. THE 2 LANE EMANUEL CLEAVER WILL RUN FROM TROOST, PAST THE NELSON TO OAK. This street calming measure should be complete in 3 months. Tree trimming to be done very soon.
