8601 Metcalf Avenue

Experience the timeless appeal of this spacious ranch-style home, offering much of its original mid-century charm and character while featuring important updates. This property is full of personality, and offers the convenience of true main-level living combined with generous room sizes and unique details rarely found today. The inviting living room is filled with natural light from large picture windows and features beautiful wood flooring and a classic brick fireplace. The kitchen showcases vintage Mutschler cabinetry, including convenient pull-out shelving in many cabinets, and overlooks the fully fenced backyard. The formal dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining while continuing the home’s rich wood flooring. One of the home’s standout spaces is the first-floor den, complete with original wood paneling on the walls and ceiling, and a charming Dutch door separating it from the kitchen. Even the half bath maintains the home’s authentic style with its original tilework. Three bedrooms are located on the main floor, including one bedroom believed to feature original wallpaper from the 1960s in remarkably good condition. The full bathroom was renovated in 2019, and main-floor washer and dryer connections were added at the same time. The finished lower level offers incredible flexibility with a large paneled rec room, retro wet bar, office with iconic, custom built-ins, full bathroom ready for updating, abundant storage space, and a small workshop with direct backyard access. The lower level needs new flooring and ceiling tiles. The home has a newer roof, gutter leaf guards, replacement windows, and an upgraded electrical panel. Outside, enjoy the fenced backyard with a sprinkler system, and both a deck and shaded paved seating area. The home is being sold as is and has been pre-inspected. Conveniently located near downtown Overland Park, Farmers’ Market, the Metcalf bike and hike trail, restaurants, shopping, & the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center.
