Property Description

Rare second chance! Previous contract terminated due to the buyer's personal situation — no fault of the property. All inspections and the appraisal are complete at the full list price, clearing the way for a fast, confident close. Golden Acres stone cottage on nearly ½ acre — a setting that doesn't exist anywhere else in this price range. Nestled at the end of a peaceful, tranquil cul-de-sac and backing to Drumm Farm Golf Course, this home gives you that "exhale the moment you pull in" feeling. Golden Acres developed by Kroh Brothers who also developed Leawood Estates in Kansas, that offers a lifestyle that feels increasingly rare today: tree-lined streets without streetlights, a park-like setting where evenings feel calm and quiet, and neighbors who take pride of ownership. The cheerful sun porch, with its exposed stone details, offers flexible space for relaxing or a home office. Inside, sunlight pours through generous windows, highlighting hardwood floors throughout the main level, a cozy fireplace, and timeless character. The main-level primary suite (added in 2011) offers a private retreat with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while the second level provides a potential second primary suite with a dormer, newer windows, and an updated full bath. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's original soul — never trying too hard, never losing its charm. This is the kind of home that feels special the moment you see it, and it was special enough to be featured in the Kansas City Star. Warm, welcoming, and full of personality, this one doesn't just stand out — it sticks with you. 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths. You will enjoy showing this home.
