Fall in love with this charming circa 1890 Kansas City Shirtwaist in the heart of the beloved Volker Neighborhood—just a hop, skip, and a latte away from KU Med, West 39th Street’s eclectic shops and eats, Westport nightlife, and downtown KC. This 2-story gem blends historic character with modern updates, featuring 3 bedrooms, 1.1 baths, gorgeous hardwoods, fantastic built-ins, and classic Craftsman details. The open, updated kitchen is great for entertaining, and the main-level washer/dryer is a rare bonus in these beauties. Enjoy the added-on back porch for extra living space (hello, sunny coffee mornings or cozy Netflix nights!), and a spacious primary bedroom with a perfect nook for an office, den, or dream closet. Updated and gorgeous upstairs bathroom with a soaking tub. Don't be fooled, there are hardwoods under the upstairs new carpet. Backyard has privacy fence for a perfect oasis. This home has been lovingly maintained and updated! All nestled in a neighborhood known for its legendary front porch culture—bring your rocking chair and waving hand!
