Kansas City Dream Homes

Mr. Beaux and I had a lovely Valentine's Day 

and spent the night at a beautiful historic hotel 

in the Country Club Plaza area.  

One of my favorite things to do 

is look at beautiful homes 

and I was perusing the homes for sale 

nearby that morning on my iphone app.  

I told you it was one of my favorite things to do...  

I came across this beauty! 

I thought it would be fun to do a weekly 

or bimonthly series on Kansas City Homes.  

Kansas City has a rich history of architecture 

that I feel is kept a secret!  

Well, I want to share it with you...  

One of the first things that we do when visitors 

from out of state come to our neck of the woods 

is to drive down to the Ward Parkway area.  

It is full of homes just like this one shown.  

Our friends and relatives are always amazed 

that Kansas has an area such as this.  

I guess they were picturing wheat fields and cows... 

Let's go inside...  

This home is currently for sale,  

I'll save the price until the end...  

It was built in 1926 when J.C. Nichols 

was developing the area across 

the state line from Missouri.  

I believe this home was built in a French Eclectic Style...

 This home was built for the "affluent" of Kansas City 

and boasts 5 bedrooms and 5 full and 2 half baths. 

Much of the character of the home remained intact 

when it was renovated by Gene Fritzel 

around 2006 from what I can gather. 

The listing states that it has 

an expansive kitchen and hearth room...

with 20 foot vaulted ceilings.

This living area leads to a pretty sunroom.  

I'm loving that chandy!

Even the sunroom has a pretty chandelier. 

Here is where I will be taking my morning coffee 

thank you very much...  

Overlooking the Mission Hills Country Club golf course. 

I'd take some green like this right now!

What a huge balcony area! 

They don't show the master bedroom 

but it is supposed to have a large master bath 

and a "massive" third level closet.  

It also has a sauna and a safe room 

with bank vault doors... 

I'm sure that the H's stand for something... 

The billiards room and second kitchen 

is on this lower level.  

I like how them added a little bit of 

contemporary in the mix. 

A great space for entertaining...

See how it opens all the way to the outside...

The media room and second kitchen...

The billiards room with some kind 

of dead animal on the pool table.  

Maybe that's a sport for the VERY rich...  

Hit the ball in the mouth of the bear??? 

I hope you enjoyed the tour.  

This "Little House On The Prairie" 

can be yours for $4,395,000.00!

Until Next Time,
