Beautifully updated 1.5-story bungalow in the heart of Brookside! This charming home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. The main level features two bedrooms, a fully renovated bathroom completed in November 2023 (taken down to the studs with all-new plumbing, tiled shower, vanity, lighting, and fixtures), a formal dining room, and a stunning kitchen renovation completed in Fall 2025. The kitchen showcases quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, new appliances, updated fixtures, fresh paint, and a new garbage disposal. Just off the kitchen is a spacious mudroom/laundry area with washer and dryer that stay, plus excellent overflow storage for coats, shoes, bags, and everyday essentials. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a full bath, & a walk-in closet. The finished lower level is truly a standout feature and designed with entertaining in mind. Sellers enjoyed creating the perfect space for movie nights or game days with a projector and screen that both remain with the home. A dry basement system was installed prior to finishing, along with an upgraded sump pump for added peace of mind during heavy rains. The lower level also includes abundant storage, custom windows for natural light and improved thermal efficiency, plus a one-car pull-in garage space that could easily double as a workshop. Outside, enjoy relaxing mornings on the covered front porch overlooking the beautifully landscaped yard. Raised garden beds provide the perfect opportunity to grow fresh herbs & produce, while the private driveway - not shared with a neighbor - is a rare bonus in the area. The 6-foot privacy fence with gated driveway access adds extra comfort and convenience for pet owners. Located just minutes from parks, shops, restaurants, and everything Brookside has to offer, this home also provides easy access to the south streetcar extension to UMKC, making it easy to ride north all the way to the River Market.
