About This Property
Carefully maintained by the same owners for nearly four decades, this spacious 1.5-story in West Riding offers a gracious floor plan, generous room sizes, and the benefit of having been truly well cared for over the years. At the entry, a formal dining room sits to the left and a formal living room to the right. Straight ahead, the great room features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and abundant windows that bring in natural light and frame views of the backyard. The kitchen is just off the great room with a comfortable eat-in area, while the nearby laundry room adds convenience and a second access point to the patio and yard. The main-floor primary suite is exceptionally spacious, with a large bedroom and oversized bath offering plenty of room to create a retreat that fits your style. Upstairs are three additional generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. The poured-concrete basement is completely unfinished, offering a true blank slate for a future TV or movie room, home gym, workshop, additional living space, or simply an impressive amount of storage. Outside, a charming paver patio overlooks the park-like yard. Just minutes from Meadowbrook Park, the Corinth Shops, and approximately three minutes from Briarwood Elementary, this is a wonderful home with space to enjoy today and plenty of opportunity to make it your own.

Prairie Village represents the rare achievement of authentic walkable living within Johnson County's suburban landscape — where historic charm, tree-lined streets, and genuine community character create a lifestyle that feels both timeless and thoroughly modern. This isn't just another suburban development; it's a carefully preserved community where neighbors know each other by name, where evening walks lead to impromptu conversations, and where the rhythm of small-town life thrives just minutes from metropolitan amenities.
Founded in the post-war era and thoughtfully maintained through decades of growth, Prairie Village showcases the best of mid-century planning with its compact, walkable layout and architectural diversity. The community takes pride in its mature tree canopy, sidewalk-connected neighborhoods, and the kind of local businesses that foster daily interaction between residents.
Prairie Village's real estate market celebrates character over conformity — where historic homes from the 1940s–1960s offer architectural details and craftsmanship rarely found in contemporary construction. Properties here command a premium for irreplaceable attributes: walkable locations, mature landscaping, unique floor plans, and the intangible value of established neighborhood character.
Prairie Village's prime location on the Kansas-Missouri state line offers unparalleled access to both states. Mission Road provides direct access to the Country Club Plaza district, while I-35 and US-69 connect quickly to downtown Kansas City and KCI Airport.
