About This Home

Experience unparalleled privacy and luxury on approximately 7 acres (more or less) with this gated estate offering space, refinement, and flexibility just outside the city limits. This 5-bedroom, 4 full & 2 half bath residence features 5,299 sq. ft. of finished living space, thoughtfully blending modern updates with timeless architectural character. A grand foyer with a sweeping staircase sets the tone upon entry, leading into multiple inviting living and entertaining areas including formal living and dining rooms, a comfortable family room, screened-in porch, and convenient main-floor laundry. The heart of the home is the completely renovated gourmet kitchen, showcasing quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous workspace ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with an updated ensuite bath, dual vanities, and his-and-hers walk-in closets. Throughout the home, original architectural details have been intentionally preserved, including stained glass accents, crystal door knobs, and detailed millwork, adding warmth and character to the refreshed interiors. Outside, the property continues to impress with both an attached 3-car garage and a brand-new detached 3-car garage featuring oversized 14’ doors, perfect for RVs, boats, car collections, or workshop use. The gently rolling acreage provides privacy, scenic views, and room to enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle—while still being just minutes from town and within easy driving distance to Kansas City and KCI Airport. This is a rare opportunity to own a private estate setting with substantial updates, generous living space, and versatile acreage—offered at a compelling new price point.
