About This Property

Set beneath a canopy of mature trees on one of Old Leawood’s most desirable streets, this classic Colonial pairs timeless character with the space and flexibility today’s buyers want. The park-like setting and oversized backyard create a rare sense of privacy with plenty of room to entertain, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, a traditional center-hall floor plan opens with a private home office and formal dining room flanking the foyer. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a generous center island, and abundant workspace for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, the vaulted family room features custom built-ins surrounding the fireplace and serves as a natural gathering place. A second main-level living room provides valuable separation and flexibility—perfect for watching the game, reading, entertaining, or simply unwinding. A main-floor laundry room and powder bath add everyday convenience. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes double vanities, a large walk-in shower, and generous closet space. The additional bedrooms are comfortably sized, including a unique two-room suite offering flexibility for siblings, guests, a study space, or additional living area. Updated bathrooms and ample storage complete the upper level. The finished lower level adds even more versatility with a large recreation room, dedicated exercise room, full bath, and an additional flex room currently used as a non-conforming bedroom. Refinished hardwood floors, plantation shutters, thoughtful updates, multiple living spaces, and an exceptional Old Leawood setting come together in a home designed to evolve with the way you live. With room to gather, room to retreat, and one of the best backyards in the area, this is an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find.
