About this home

5540 Holmes blends classic 1920s architecture with a location that’s hard to beat. This two-story brick and stucco home in the Crestwood neighborhood offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a layout that’s both functional and full of potential. Priced competitively, it’s a great opportunity for buyers who want to move into one of Kansas City’s many walkable neighborhoods while still having room to make their own updates and improvements. The main level features a welcoming living room, dining space, and kitchen, with a convenient half bath, mudroom, and laundry at the back of the home. Fresh interior wall paint and new luxury vinyl plank flooring provide a clean start for the next owner. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath maintain the home’s original charm and scale. A basement-level garage, fenced yard, and screened porch add practical and enjoyable living space. Whether it’s morning coffee on the porch, pets in the yard, or easy access to storage and parking, this home covers the basics while offering the chance to customize further. Also, new 200 Electrical panel! (Fed by 100 amp service). The Crestwood location is a highlight—just steps to the Crestwood Shops, close to Brookside, and minutes from the Country Club Plaza. 5540 Holmes offers historic character, everyday livability, and the opportunity to invest in updates over time—all in a neighborhood where walkability and community truly shine.
