5411 Miami Street

This is a rare, as-is, fixer-upper in a serene, wooded setting—priced right! Built in 1912, the 768 sq ft home sits on a spacious 3,920 sq ft lot, offering endless potential for a full renovation, tear-down rebuild, or even a tiny home ADU addition while you enjoy the peaceful, charming hilltop surroundings. The wooded deer-haven setting, on a quiet dead-end street, creates a sense of privacy and space well beyond the lot's footprint, with undeveloped land bordering three sides. The backyard is flanked by mature woods on two sides, meaning only a single fence line is needed for complete privacy — an unusual asset within city limits. The property itself is well-suited for long or short-term rental development, with proximity to Chiefs training camp, drawing seasonal tourism each summer. Nearby Amenities & Lifestyle Walk up to King Hill Dr. through the woods, then enjoy the scenic Southwest Parkway leading to the vibrant Hyde Park (featuring disc golf, playgrounds, skating, baseball, trails, splash pad, and events like Party on the Parkway). Catch Benton High football games, stroll to Hyde Elementary playground with your kids on the weekend, or relax at Betty’s Cafe for affordable, charming home-style meals in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Other gems include the historic Carnegie Library, Downtown Library (with its beautiful stained glass ceiling), museums (Pony Express, Jesse James, Albrecht-Kemper, and the Wyeth-Tootle Mansion), theaters, downtown coffee shops (such as Mokaska or Hazel’s Downtown), winter ice skating at the Bode Arena and summer swimming at the Wathena Public Pool just across the river, with its stunning hilltop views. Bonus: Bluff Woods Recreation Area hosts the annual Renaissance Faire, and the Chiefs training camp draws visitors yearly—perfect for unique Airbnb potential.
