About this home

WOW WOW WOW — this is the historic Lee’s Summit home everyone wishes would hit the market! Full of charm, personality, and incredible outdoor living, this unforgettable early-1900s American Foursquare is packed with character you simply can’t recreate today. This amazing 1.5-story home sits on nearly a half acre and features 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an inground saltwater pool, outdoor spa, greenhouse, updated hardscape, privacy fencing, and endless spaces designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying life year-round. Backyard pool parties, cozy fall nights in the spa, morning coffee in the greenhouse — this property truly feels like your own private retreat right in the city. The 2021 Generac 24kv home generator adds extra storm security. Inside, you’ll fall in love with the gorgeous refinished hardwood floors, updated kitchen, fresh interior and exterior paint, custom primary closet, updated lighting, and timeless historic details throughout. The wraparound porch is absolutely iconic and gives this home the kind of curb appeal buyers dream about. The layout is equally impressive with a highly desired first-floor primary suite with en-suite bathroom, plus a massive second-floor bedroom that could easily serve as a second primary suite, guest retreat, or bonus space. Just off the kitchen is a cozy all-seasons room perfect for relaxing year-round, and the expandable attic offers exciting potential for future finished living space, a studio, game room, or office. And the location? Incredible. You’re just a short walk from the booming downtown Lee’s Summit area filled with amazing restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, entertainment, and the beloved farmers market. Historic homes with this much space, personality, outdoor fun, and walkability almost never become available. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle!
