For the first time in 25 years, this stunning Victorian home, located in the highly desirable Briarcliff area, is available for purchase. Nestled amongst the trees on a cul-de-sac lot, this recently updated, beautiful home once graced the cover of Country Accents magazine (Winter 1987). Built by the builder for him and his wife in 1985, they spared no expense. With custom woodwork and built-in cabinetry throughout, this home was built to be a show stopper. But don't let its country origins fool you; the sellers kept the best of the old, while bringing this home into the twenty-first century. The kitchen features hardwood cabinetry with quite possibly the coolest hardware you may have seen in a while. Stainless steel appliances, large island, and designer lighting round out the kitchen. The primary suite features a seating area with a fireplace as well as a luxurious bathroom with soaking tub and large walk-in shower. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom while the third features ornate built-in cabinetry. The built-in cabinets continue throughout the home offering plenty of storage. The walk-out finished basement, with its own fireplace, features a large family room, a full bath, and a bonus room that could make for a non-conforming fifth bedroom. All this and a Gladstone address (No KCMO E-tax) make this a truly desirable home. Please schedule your showing today! Room sizes are estimates; buyer to verify. Listing Agent related to Sellers.
