About this home

Construction on this historical property began in the 1890's under the ownership of Mr. Ephraim Basehor himself. In the one hundred thirty years of its existence, this well-known home has apparently been owned by just four families. From your first step inside the entryway, you will likely be struck by the prominent staircase and pillars, both original features of the home. You will also be impressed by the open floor plan that allows for so many entertaining options - whether in the more formal environment of the original house with all its grandness or in the spacious addition in a more casual environment. On the second level, you will be amazed at the condition of the refurbished original wood floors, which are believed to have been installed in the 1890's. The fully remodeled bathroom has all the modern conveniences while distinctly paying homage to an era gone by. In the 1970's, a one-level addition was added to the back of the three-story structure, approximately doubling the main level living space. The current owners have struck the delicate balance between modernizing the two lower levels aesthetically while ensuring the character of the house remains intact. And here's a big bonus... As a courtesy to the buyer, the sellers will be conveying framed historical documents (at least one dating back to 1911) with the sale to ensure the new owner keeps control of those documents. What an opportunity this is to own a fully updated historical property in one of the best small town communities surrounding the Kansas City metropolitan area!
