One block from the Truman House, this 1910 Kansas City Shirtwaist, known as The Sermon House, was lovingly renovated over the past 11 years. Nestled within a visionary full-neighborhood restoration west of Independence Square. A quaint urban neighborhood with a small town feel, where neighbors know each other's names. Walk to the Square for dining, shopping, and a movie. Original character includes oak & fir wood floors, fireplace surround, and Craftsman-style oak mantle & deacon's bench. Huge kitchen with 9-ft long island, expansive cabinet & counter space, stainless appliances & gas range. Feed a crowd with the open floor plan. The 2nd floor includes 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths. The master en-suite features dual sinks and a shower show piece: custom tile mosaic & granite shower bench. Convenient laundry is just outside the bedrooms - a rare feature in antique homes. The 3rd floor has been transformed into a versatile space that could serve as a 4th bedroom suite, art studio, or home office. Gleaming hardwood built-in daybed (queen size) is surrounded by creative storage tucked into the gabled roof slope. The meticulously refinished wood floor is Douglas fir surrounded by historic-reproduction 7' tall base trim. French doors open onto a large balcony with the best view in Independence. Full bath with all new fixtures and professionally re-enameled original cast iron bathtub. Dedicated heat pump services this floor for cooling and heating. Energy efficient upgrades include a super-efficient furnace, air conditioner, and water heater. That means low utility bills for a house of this size. Other eco-updates include major sealing of air leaks and a new insulated front entry door. Outdoors, it's a gardener's dream with plenty of space to get your hands dirty. Existing planting beds include rock garden, rain garden, shade beds, and fruit trees (peach & cherry). Want a vegetable garden? There is plenty of space in the sunny back yard.
