10112 E 79th Terrace

This lovely, meticulously maintained home has been cherished by the same owner for an impressive 67 years. Many of its original mid-century finishes—from the kitchen cabinets to the bathroom tile—still look as if they were installed yesterday. The living room features a large south-facing picture window that floods the space with natural light throughout the day. The thoughtful layout places the primary bedroom, second bedroom, and full hall bathroom on one end of the home, while the third bedroom and half bath are located on the opposite side for added privacy. Downstairs, a partially finished basement room offers flexible space perfect for a family room, gaming area, or home office; the unfinished sections remain clean and inviting as well. Outdoor and parking conveniences include an attached one-car garage plus a detached garage/shed in the backyard, a double driveway, and additional parking along the street. Most windows (excluding the living-room windows) have been upgraded to energy-efficient double-pane units. Notable updates include a new roof (2014), air conditioner (2016), furnace (2012), electrical panel, and garage doors. Located in the Raytown School District, the home is just two short blocks from Southwood Elementary, with a convenient sidewalk connection from 80th Street. Minor Smith Park sits nearby just east of the school, adding to the neighborhood’s appeal.
