Find a little bit of country living on an oversized corner lot in the heart of the city. Formal landscaped garden, fire pit, large patio and a huge lawn make it a joy to be outside. Close to restaurants, coffee shops, a brewery, ice cream, bakeries, Trolley Trail & Brooksides shops — and just one mile from the future southern terminus of the KC Streetcar, providing transit downtown. Attached 2-car garage is fully insulated and boasts extra storage space, connecting to the home's new mudroom. This home was mindfully remodeled, retaining character and history throughout while bringing in new conveniences. The renovated kitchen boasts soapstone countertops, marble backsplash to the ceiling, stainless steel appliances & all new cabinetry. A spacious dining room off the kitchen fits a large table and big family gatherings. The living room is full of natural light with French doors on either side of the fireplace that lead to the screened-in porch with new screens, perfect for coffee on cool mornings. In the evenings, toss in some firewood & cozy up this winter by the new wood-burning stove. At the top of the stairs is a rooftop landing to sit & enjoy views of this charming neighborhood. The primary bedroom features a fireplace, double closets & enough space for a sitting area. Elegantly renovated bathroom is surrounded by marble tile & a walk-in shower. Renovations weren't surface level: They include new electrical, new roof, new cedar shake siding on the house & Hardie Board around the garage. Nothing was overlooked here with added insulation, yearly HVAC servicing, pex plumbing, new water heater & new utility flue liner. Impeccable landscaping includes new retaining walls, a rock path & repaired sidewalks to enjoy the gardens, a fully fenced yard, and a huge patio to host friends around the fire pit or dine al fresco. Don't miss the opportunity to experience living on the land in the city! Enjoy harvesting fruit of all kinds: peach, pear, apple, plum, fig & elderberry!
