Property Description
This beautifully updated 2-story bungalow delivers exceptional value with a low monthly payment of just $1,327.51 (PITI)—and the first 4 years of the mortgage already paid! Enjoy minimal closing costs if you assume the existing 3.625% loan (traditional financing also welcome). Bonus: the adjacent vacant lot at 2709 Kensington Ave. is included, doubling your outdoor space and unlocking potential for a garage, garden, or even future development.
Built in 1904, this home blends timeless Craftsman Bungalow character with the symmetry and practicality of early American Foursquare design. You'll love the full-width front porch with stone pillars, wood siding, and classic proportions—a true piece of Kansas City history with thoughtful modern upgrades throughout.
Inside, discover original hardwood floors, newer windows, and a spacious living room filled with natural light. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into an updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous workspace. Upstairs, the private primary suite includes its own ensuite bath, while a second large bedroom and full hallway bath offer flexibility for guests or a home office.
Major systems have been thoughtfully updated, including a 4-year-old furnace, water heater, and A/C, plus updated electrical wiring, and updated PEX/PVC plumbing for added peace of mind.
Enjoy a brand new roof (Spring 2025) with transferrable warranty, a relaxing back deck, a wrap-around driveway, and two separate driveways for ample off-street parking.
Located just minutes from downtown KC, Arrowhead Stadium, The Plaza, The Nelson-Atkins Museum, and major highways, this home offers unbeatable access, style, and functionality. Whether you're a first-time buyer ready to build equity or an investor seeking a turnkey property in a high-demand rental area, this rare find won't last long!
