Property Description
This beautifully updated 2-story blends timeless Craftsman Bungalow charm with early American Foursquare design and includes the adjacent vacant lot at 2709 Kensington—doubling your outdoor space and unlocking potential for a garage, garden, or future development.
Inside, enjoy a flowing layout with original hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated kitchen and baths, and newer windows throughout. The formal dining room opens to a spacious living room filled with natural light. Upstairs, find a private primary suite with ensuite bath, plus a second large bedroom and full hallway bath perfect for guests or a home office.
Major system upgrades include a 4-year-old furnace, A/C, and water heater, updated electrical wiring, and modern PEX/PVC plumbing. The full-width front porch with stone pillars is perfect for morning coffee or evening visits. Outside, enjoy a relaxing back deck, wide wraparound driveway, and two separate off-street parking areas. A brand-new roof (Spring 2025) with transferable warranty adds long-term peace of mind.
Whether you're a first-time buyer ready to build equity or an investor looking for a turnkey rental (currently rents for $1,425/month), this home delivers unmatched value and versatility. FHA, VA, and conventional financing all welcome. Located in a walkable, established neighborhood near parks, schools, shopping, downtown, Arrowhead, The Plaza, Nelson-Atkins, and major highways.
