This is the kind of Brookside bungalow that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. Mornings on the big covered front porch while the rain rolls through, or wind down on a crisp fall evening after a Chiefs win. Tucked between the darling Crestwood and Brookside shops, with neighborhood parks, the Trolley Trail and Country Club Plaza all nearby, this is such a special pocket of Kansas City. Inside, meticulous homeowners have thoughtfully cared for the details while preserving all the character. Gorgeous original hardwood floors flow throughout, along with beautiful built-ins, original mouldings & windows galore. The updated kitchen feels fresh and inviting with a brand-new stainless steel appliance package and a convenient drop zone just inside the back door. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level offer plenty of flexibility, while upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The second floor makes an especially dreamy primary retreat—the bedroom at the top of the stairs is perfect for an office, nursery or sitting room, while the oversized primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, additional sitting area and a spacious bathroom with double vanity ready for your own finishing touches. And this house isn't just pretty, important improvements have already been tackled, including structural, electrical and AC updates. The basement even has a second electrical panel, creating exciting possibilities for the hobbyist, woodworker, artist or anyone who's always dreamed of firing up their own pottery studio. Out back, a white picket fence wraps around a yard made for actually enjoying. Gather friends around the fire pit & the new brick patio, tend to the raised garden beds, or finally make good on that New Year's resolution to enter your garden era. Fresh exterior paint and new gutters add to the list of updates already completed. This one feels like home!
