9118 W 178th Terrace

Exceptional Reverse 1.5 Story tucked away on a cul-de-sac lot backing to a private, wooded common area. This beautifully designed home offers the ease of main-level living with plenty of additional space downstairs for family, guests and entertaining. An elementary school is just down the street, while the thoughtful floor plan is equally appealing to buyers looking for an easy empty-nest lifestyle. The main level features soaring ceilings, a formal dining room and a spacious kitchen with center island, bar-stool seating and a dedicated breakfast area overlooking the wooded backyard. Two bedrooms and 2.5 baths are located on the main floor, including a generous primary suite with jetted tub, large tiled walk-in shower and an oversized closet with direct access to the laundry room—an especially smart layout for quiet early mornings. One of the home's standout spaces is the large screened porch overlooking the private backyard. A see-through fireplace, TV mount and adjoining grilling deck make this an inviting extension of the living space nearly year-round. The finished lower level was made for entertaining, with a spacious recreation room offering separate media and game areas plus plenty of room for ping pong! The large bar includes both front and back bar areas with space for a full-size refrigerator. Two additional bedrooms share a convenient Hollywood-style bath with tub/shower, plus an additional half bath for guests. Additional highlights include tile floors in all bathrooms and the laundry room, a covered front porch, covered lower-level patio, flat driveway and 3-car garage. Built by Jim Engle in 2015 and located in Arbor View near the Overland Park Arboretum, this home combines privacy, flexible living spaces and multiple covered outdoor areas in a setting that is hard to beat.
