About This Home
Welcome to 1217 W 21st St, Kansas City, MO 64108 – a beautifully restored 1915 duplex that seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Westside neighborhood, this unique property sits just half a block from Observatory Park and backs to a serene, tree-lined bluff—offering both city convenience and natural privacy. Bonus opportunity: A lot split is currently in progress and the vacant, adjacent section of the lot is also for sale separately! Whether you're envisioning expansion, a custom build, or future resale value, this extra parcel adds significant flexibility.
The lower-level flat features two bedrooms and one full bath, fully furnished and ready to operate as a short-term rental. Whether you're an owner-occupant looking to offset your mortgage or an investor capitalizing on Kansas City's booming tourism (especially with the World Cup on the horizon), this unit offers turnkey income potential.
The upper-level flat mirrors the lower unit with two bedrooms and one bathroom, and also includes two private entrances and its own charming balcony—ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. Both units share access to a full-size washer and dryer, conveniently located in the basement.
Bonus opportunity: The duplex sits adjacent to a vacant lot that is currently for sale and in the process of being legally subdivided. Whether you're envisioning expansion, a custom build, or future resale value, this extra parcel adds significant flexibility.
