4708 Rockhill Road

This is a truly special home! Unique architecture, a great layout, and incredible character combine to create a property unlike anything else in Kansas City. The cool factor is off the charts! Believed to be the first home built in the coveted Rockhill neighborhood by William Rockhill Nelson, this historic property was originally constructed as the grounds caretaker’s home for Nelson’s famed estate, Oak Hall. The current owner thoughtfully transformed the original one-story home into a reverse 1.5-story floor plan by adding two bedrooms and a full bath on the lower level. The main level features a spacious living room, den, dining room, powder room, and a stunning kitchen with access to the fabulous deck overlooking the beautiful yard. The primary suite is also conveniently located on the main floor and includes an ensuite bath. The laundry area is cleverly hidden within the kitchen, and the Bosch washer & dryer stay with the home. A gorgeous stone fireplace with ventless gas logs adds warmth and ambiance during the winter months. The home also features solar panels, adding energy efficiency and long-term utility savings. You will love the expansive covered front porch — the perfect place to relax and meet your new neighbors. The Rockhill neighborhood is highly sought after not only for its central location, but also for its architectural beauty, rich history, and close-knit community feel. Perfectly positioned on the corner of Rockhill Road and 47th Terrace, the home offers convenient access with the garage located on the 47th Terr. side of the property, along with abundant guest parking nearby. Enjoy walking distance to Kauffman Memorial Garden, Kauffman Legacy Park, Theis Park, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Gillham Park, the Streetcar stop, the Country Club Plaza, and University of Missouri–Kansas City — plus countless dining, shopping, and cultural destinations nearby.
