About this home
New Price--- this is the second chance smart buyers wait for. The previous contract fell through due to the buyer's personal circumstances, no fault of the home, and the hard work is already done: inspections and appraisal are complete at the prior list price, clearing the way for a fast, confident close. Now offered at $349,900, this Golden Acres stone cottage sits on nearly ½ acre — a setting that simply doesn't exist elsewhere in this price range. Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and backing to Drumm Farm Golf Course, it delivers that exhale-the-moment-you-pull-in feeling. Golden Acres was developed by Kroh Brothers, the same builder behind Leawood Estates, and offers tree-lined streets without streetlights, a park-like setting, and neighbors who take pride of ownership. A cheerful sun porch with exposed stone details flexes as a sitting room or home office. Inside, generous windows fill the main level with light across hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and timeless character. The main-level primary suite (added 2011) offers a private retreat with ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while the second level provides a potential second primary suite with dormer, newer windows, and an updated full bath. Original character meets thoughtful updates throughout — this home was even featured in the Kansas City Star. 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a price and paperwork position built for a smooth close. You will enjoy showing this home.
