Welcome to 8917 W 51st St in Merriam — a charming and move-in ready bungalow full of original character and warmth. This inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates in all the right places.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll love the inviting front porch, abundant natural light, beautiful wood floors, and original wood trim that gives this home so much personality. The updated kitchen offers modern convenience while still keeping the cozy feel that makes bungalow homes so special. A built-in desk area in the kitchen works perfectly for a small home office, homework station, or everyday organization, and main-level laundry adds extra convenience.
Out back, enjoy a partially fenced yard, deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining, and a detached single-car garage. The unique rock/stone basement provides additional storage and adds even more character rarely found in newer homes.
Tucked away on a quiet street in the Shawnee Mission School District, this home is conveniently located close to downtown Merriam, local restaurants, shopping, parks, and quick highway access throughout the Kansas City metro area. A special treat this year is to the farmers market just minutes away!
This home is a wonderful opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for a move-in ready home with charm and character in Johnson County. It’s hard to find this kind of charm, condition, natural light, and location at this price point in today’s market. Don’t miss this Merriam gem!
