5850 Brookside Boulevard

About this home

Move right in to the intersection of Kansas City's most colorful periods! Behind this classic Brookside facade is an exciting history- from the basement speakeasy, visits from Harry Truman and Tom Pendergast, and a home that was passed down through one family for more than 100 years. Now, 108 years later, it boasts a bright and open floorplan with modern updates. The main floor was meant for hosting with every room gracefully flowing into the next. Enjoy a large chefs kitchen with gas range, stainless appliances, and plenty of counter and cabinet space for the modern chef or entertainer. The main level has three large bedrooms, all with generously-sized cedar lined closets, and a full bathroom that was updated to honor the character of this historic home. Upstairs, the primary suite will take your breath away with windows on every wall, beautiful full bathroom with walk-in shower, walk-in closet, laundry, and a cozy treetop balcony perfect for raising a toast. Relax in the shady backyard, or dip your toes into the saltwater spa in this fenced yard. The speakeasy -also known as the basement- is where history is built into the foundation walls with tall ceilings, a full bathroom, and an old wine cellar, its easy to imagine the men of 1920's Kansas City pulling up a chair and enjoying a glass there! This is your chance to make a piece of Kansas City history your own. This well maintained home has an 8 year old roof, 3 year old furnace, and 1 year old water heater. For those who prefer radiant heat due to allergies or dryness in the colder months, there is an optional boiler system and the radiators function. Seller plans to leave some hot tub accessories and chemicals for the next owner. Kitchen appliances are 3-4 years old and stay with the home!
