About this property

100 Yr Old Craftsman - Walk To Plaza or Westport

We invite you to stay at our 105 year old craftsman in the historic West Plaza district. At less than 10 minutes walking to the iconic Country Club Plaza and 18 minutes walking to Westport, you won't need a vehicle to get to some of the most trendy restaurants and shopping in the Kansas City area.

This craftsman has been beautifully decorated in a way that compliments the sophistication of the home. Contemporary materials and furniture bring fresh life into this classic American home.

The Space
Size: The space is 2000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Bedrooms: All three bedrooms are located upstairs (~14 stairs to reach upper floor). There is a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo to service the 2 guest bedrooms. There is a full bathroom attached to the master bedroom with a stand-up shower. All three bedrooms have memory foam mattresses. One of the beds has railing around it, perfect for toddlers/children but can be used by adults too. The railing around the bed cannot be removed.

Travel Crib Included: In the room with the bed railing, there is a travel crib stored in the closet. The travel crib is a 2021 Nuna Aire with dimensions of L 40 x W 24.5 x H 30 in. The crib is convertible into both a bassinet mode or playard mode. Crib sheet is not included.

Kitchen: Kitchen appliances include a refrigerator, oven, microwave and dishwasher. For coffee, a Keurig with pods is included for free. Most basic cooking utensils are also included, as well as non-stick Granitestone pots and pans. There is a 1/2 bathroom located on the main floor between the kitchen and living room.

Workspace: Equipped with 5G home internet and a dedicated workspace in the master bedroom.

Parking: The driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles, but large vehicles can be difficult to turn around at the bottom of the driveway. If you have a large truck/SUV, it is recommended to park along the house rather than driving to the bottom of the driveway. Street parking is also available for free. There are a couple of steps up to the front door from the street level.

Garage: There is a two car garage. The north garage is too small to fit most cars (even small ones) but the south garage can be used by guests with smaller vehicles. There is no clicker/keycode to open/close the garage from outside, so you will need to open/close from inside the garage to use it. To access the garage/basement from inside the home, there are roughly 14 stairs down to the lower level just off the kitchen.

Electric Vehicles: The garage is equipped with a 240V Nema 14-50 plug to recharge electric vehicles. Charging equipment not included.

Outdoor space: The house has both a front and back patio.

Washer/Dryer: Guests can use washer and dryer, but detergent isn't provided.

Great Location & Clean

We were in town for a family birthday party, just 4 adults but this house would be great for kids too. Excellent location near the Plaza area, and the neighborhood felt very safe. Check-in was easy and house was very clean. No complaints! Great stay!

Great rental!!

We visited KC for a dance competition and wanted something other than a hotel room to spread out a bit. This was a perfect fit! Melanie was wonderful to work with - very responsive, clear and timely instructions, helpful with food in the area etc. The house was very easy to find from downtown, very charming and clean - just as pictured. Beds were comfortable, overall great place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was newly remodeled and perfectly comfortable. It is super close to Plaza, Westport, and downtown. It had everything that we needed and lots of comfortable touches. Check out procedures were very easy and reasonable.

Beautiful home!

This home may be 100 years old, but it has been redone in a quality way. Located in a very quiet neighborhood. Beds were comfortable and the bath towels were thick! The house is really a 10 minute walk to the plaza. I will definitely stay with Melanie again!

Such a great find!!!

We have booked on VRBO for years and this house is by far one of our favorites! Clean, comfortable with elegant finishings! The beds were super comfy (although I would make one suggestion: to change out the railing in one side of the bed that has railings… at 59 I felt like a contortionist trying to get in and out of the bed). The bath towels were amazingly fluffy!!! Great deck on both the front and back of the house. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Everything was great. My only feedback for the owner is based on the fact that I too own a rental property and I would want this feedback. The shower curtain rod is not installed correctly and the result is that the shower curtain does not really close and protect the floor from getting wet. If it were mine, I would reinstall it 3 inches higher than where it is and extend it above the window casing. I know this would require patching the screw holes in the tile, but three small patched hole would be preferable to shower water spraying on the floor. Thank you for a nice stay. Karl

Perfect

We are three former college baseball teammates and roommates, who have a reunion trip every summer. We're all in our 60s now, so we crave comfort, location, and access to all each city has to offer. When in KC, don't forget to visit the Negro Leagues Museum! We were mesmerized by it. Of all the places we've stayed, this home gets the top review. Very cozy and comfortable. It felt like home the minute we walked in the door. It's in an older neighborhood that is in the midst of a rapid transition to more modern housing, but this 1900 house was truly perfect for us. Totally walkable to the Plaza, Westport, and all the south KC amenities, restaurants, and shopping. If you want to experience Kansas City life, this is the place. We had a marvelous time. Host's communication was excellent and very gracious.
