On an unusually large, level lot, this home sits on one of Fairway’s most beautiful tree-lined streets. The location offers easy access to major interstates, excellent schools, shopping, and the cultural and entertainment hub of Kansas City, including top-ranked medical facilities, universities, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Recent improvements include a new roof (2025), a new basement family room (2025), and insulated walls. Meticulously maintained, the home is a work of art, with a design unlike any you’ve seen. The first owner chose this plan for its distinctive stairway landing, from which she could perform beneath the soaring 14-foot cathedral ceiling. The living room, with one of three commissioned hand-carved mantels, opens through vintage leaded-glass French doors to a cheery east-facing sunroom and connects to the kitchen, family room, entry hall, and upstairs bedrooms. The 15-ft. dining room sparkles beneath a massive teardrop-shaped crystal chandelier. For daily convenience, the driveway passes within inches of the side door, offering quick access to the mudroom and kitchen. The family room features a second carved mantel framed by bookshelves. South-facing French doors lead to a covered, lighted walkway connecting the two-car garage, workshop, and tool shed. The patio is graced by cherubic figures representing the classical winds, while the large yard invites games or gatherings. Upstairs, the 21-ft. main bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling, the third fireplace, French doors to a private terrace, and a cozy skylit study. The newly finished basement rec room with closets, bookshelves, and a full bath easily converts to a fourth bedroom. Two additional unfinished basement rooms (20 and 21 ft.) provide ample storage or future expansion. Practical yet rich with character, this home blends location, convenience, design, and space in one remarkable package.
