Welcome to your new home in Central Hyde Park! Lovingly maintained by the current owners for over forty years. This unique residence blends Kansas City shirtwaist, Tudor, stucco, and cedar shake element. The exterior was recently repaired, resealed, and repainted. The large, half-wraparound front porch features custom slate-tiled stairs and an artisan-custom-crafted porch swing. Step into a bygone craftsman era, with original front door, trim, floors, and stairs, thoughtfully updated in key areas. To the right of the foyer, the bright eat-in kitchen has lightly stained wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a double oven--the custom bake stone in the lower oven stays with the home, a nod to the previous owners' love for baking bread and pizza--perfect for entertaining! A back hallway provides extra storage, laundry hookups, a half-bath, and access to the rear entry and back porch and access to the large, paved parking lot and driveway.
To the left of the foyer, you'll find the formal sitting room, featuring the original gas fireplace with ceramic insert, an ornate mantle, and quintessential green tile. Behind the sitting room and staircase is a smaller ante-room, once the original kitchen, now repurposed as a cozy library and music room, complete with custom cabinetry. The main staircase, accessible from both the foyer and ante-room, leads to a light-filled landing on the second floor. The second floor consists of three well-apportioned bedrooms, including a spacious primary overlooking Harrison Blvd. The full bathroom retains its original clawfoot tub, paired with an updated shower and vanity. Access to the third floor staircase is located in the back hallway.
The third floor features a full bath, unique common area, and two bedrooms with delightful reading nooks or play spaces. While currently carpeted for sound, the floors are finished with pine planks, ready to be refinished and rediscovered. Custom blinds and storm windows throughout.
