About this home

This 3-bay Stone Colonial Revival was built by the famous architecture firm Howe, Hoit & Cutler! They are also known for the R.A. Long mansion (KC Museum) just a few blocks down and the Savoy Hotel and Grill. The exterior is very commanding with being covered in all stone, a front porch, and a multi-color paint scheme. Passing through the front door and the vestibule, you will be standing in the center hall. To the left is a massive living room with tons of windows, built-ins, and a fireplace. On the right side of the house, you will find a dining room with the original sideboard built-in, a full bathroom, and a massive kitchen overlooking the backyard. You will find original trim and hardwood floors throughout this floor and leading you up the grand staircase. Don't miss the built-in bench seat on the side of the staircase either. Upon reaching the second floor you will find three good size bedrooms with good closet space. This floor also has original trim, hardwood floors, doors, and a spacious wall of built-in cabinets and drawers. Down the hall, you will find the servant's quarters staircase that will lead you back down to the kitchen or upstairs two the old servants' quarters. This space offers two more large bedrooms. The bathroom is ready for a shower and the laundry has its own space. The basement is super spacious and currently has a workshop, a separate office, tons of storage space, and walks up to the backyard. Plenty of off-street parking and a 2 car garage detached. The rear yard features tons of fruiting trees, grape vines, and more edible gardens. This beautiful home is said to have a strong connection to Harry and Bess Truman with them being frequent weekend guests to the original family and Harry Truman would play the grand piano in the living room.
