She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s a one-of-a-kind, historic masterpiece in Kansas City's crown jewel, Central Hyde Park. And she is available, inviting you to write the next chapter of her story. Imagine becoming an integral part of the lineage of interesting, unique people who have poured their love into this grand dame for over a century. Lounge on the veranda that has been a neighborhood hub of conversation, art and community. Imagine listening to what the trees & plants have to tell you about this place that is hugged by nature, where every living thing has a story to tell. Built in 1911 for lumber baron Benjamin Berkshire, it’s obvious that no expense was spared. It features mahogany, tiger oak, cherry- many specimens of wood no longer available or affordable to work with. Replica-stained glass from the 1904 St. Louis World Fair that “blossoms” as you go upstairs. Stunning staircase, original & irreplaceable, art glass light fixtures. Radiant heat, built-ins. So much of this home is preserved, unspoiled, spectacular, original. There is second floor laundry (in addition to bsmt) and a kitchenette, as well as a full bath & kitchen on the third floor, for a nanny or visiting guests. AND it just gets better- the home is complete with a stylish & roomy (807 SF), turn-key, cash-flowing, never empty, long-term rental or Air BnB apartment, to be sold fully furnished. It has been rented to scholars, researchers, musicians and visiting physicians who love their time there. So close to the newly announced Royals stadium, streetcar line and Children's Mercy Hospital expansion, too! One of the owners said it best: “If this sounds like some kind of love story, that’s because it’s always been just that.”"
