Property Description

Some homes are renovated. Others are given a remarkable second chapter. Located on the historic grounds of Kenneth Estates, this one-of-a-kind Shawnee residence originally built in 1865 once home to legendary golf club maker Kenneth Smith, whose custom clubs were crafted for presidents, celebrities and professional golfers. Over a century later, the home was reimagined by designer Tamara Day for her show on The Magnolia Network. Taken to the studs, the renovation thoughtfully blends historic character with modern luxury. Walls were reworked, ceilings vaulted and every finish was intentionally selected, from the wide-plank hardwood floors and designer lighting to the custom cabinetry and dramatic tilework. The showstopping kitchen features an oversized island, statement backsplash and beautifully finished hidden Butler's Pantry designed for both entertaining and everyday living. An original wood-burning fireplace has been fully restored, preserving an important piece of the home’s past. The primary suite offers dual closets and a spa-like bath with Kohler fixtures, multiple shower heads and striking details throughout. Flexible main-level spaces provide options for additional bedrooms, an office or a private guest suite. The finished lower level adds expansive entertaining space, two wine refrigerators, a memorable wine cellar with original stonework and archways, and an original safe that remains with the home. Mature trees, elevated views, original stone elements and an oversized three-car garage complete this extraordinary property. Historic, thoughtfully restored and entirely unique, this home is more than a home - it is a chance to become part of its story.
