10 YEAR TAX ABATEMENT! Seller is open to trades or possible partial owner financing. An amazing transformation from a turn-of-the century classic Kansas City four-square to 'open plan modern'. A wrap-around front porch, trimmed in limestone, leads to the entry and lime-washed walls accenting the entry, living & dining areas and kitchen. It all flows marvelously together into a spectacular living and entertaining space. The kitchen features a farmhouse sink in the center island opposite a hooded cooktop counter all overlaid with beautiful white stone countertops. Crisp, white, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with brushed-gold hardware mixed with open shelving make this kitchen a chef's dream. A convenient storage area, half-bath and laundry room off the kitchen complement this great design. This is an exquisite from-the-studs remodel with R40 ceiling, R19 wall spray-foam insulation (2nd floor and up), bamboo flooring and all new windows, doors & trim, roof, including all-new baths on all floors. All baths feature eye-popping tile-work and fixtures. The master bath includes a privacy water closet, soaking tub and walk-in shower adjacent to a generous walk-in closet. Elegant brick paving through the peaceful private backyard leads to the two-story garage at the rear of the property which shares its frame with the adjacent home's garage and is separately metered with dedicated 200 amp service. The second floor has been finished as a great room with bamboo flooring, plumbing stub-in and electrical feeder.....ready for central air conditioning and additional electrical requirements. This second floor space is a full 25' X 25' footprint (625 sq.ft.!) and could be finished as a great Accessory Dwelling Unit or use it as guest quarters or a get-a-way room. Walk 2 blocks to the newly renovated Kansas City Museum (Corinthian Hall) with it's café and soda fountain. Stroll Concourse Park and enjoy its huge fountain--summer and winter. 5 minutes to downtown and the City Market.
