About This Home
UNICORN ALERT! Surround yourself with sweeping 180-degree views of the Missouri River; rolling, lush hills as far as the eye can see; and the meticulously maintained Esplanade walking park, which runs along the hillside overlooking the river.
This is your chance to call this magnificent Queen Anne Victorian (a registered historic home), which has been lovingly maintained by just 5 families since 1866... ALL YOURS.
This property’s location is just a hop, skip & and jump from the KC Metro area
This home is a statement piece all its own: Located on the highest section of North Esplanade Street, over 4200 square feet of livable space, 12-foot high ceilings & crown molding throughout, is shaded throughout the day by mature oak & maple trees, views include the “mighty” Missouri River as well as rolling hills & greenery for miles, and a wrap-around & screened-in porch.
SOME BACKGROUND: The core of the home was first built by Elcana Hensley, a river steamboat owner, in 1866.
18 years later, Mr. Elmore W. Snyder (aka E.W. Snyder), grain merchant, Founder and President of Manufacturers National Bank, and founder and owner of Leavenworth Terminal Railway and Bridge Company, purchased the house in 1884 and developed it to its present configuration from 1889 to 1913.
Since 1913, just 3 families have cared for & owned this gem: J. B. Taylor, Col. Lamar Weaver, and Lt. Col. W.M. Connor.
Boasting a dramatic three-story tower and turret on its northeast side, it showcases original woodwork, including a spectacular front oak staircase, new hardwood floors, a remodeled formal dining room, kitchen, and guest bathroom, remodeled and enclosed back porch, full attic with exhaust fan, basement and wraparound porch with side screened in.
Known as the E.W. Snyder House, this home (with sweeping 180-degree views of the “mighty” Missouri River) rests at the highest point on North Esplanade Street in charming Leavenworth, KS.
