After over a century, one of Kansas City’s most beloved homes has been meticulously transformed from top to bottom. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to premium finishes that boasts modern luxury while preserving its rich history. Originally built by Rockhill Nelson, founder of the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum and The Kansas City Star, as a guest cottage, fondly nicknamed the “Honeymoon Cottage”. This magnificent home is almost 7000 sqft and features 6 expansive bedrooms, including two luxurious master suites, each with private baths. With a total of 4.5 bathrooms and 6 charming fireplaces, this residence offers ample space for both relaxation and entertainment.
Step inside to find restored and beautifully re-stained original wood trimwork that highlights the home’s historic charm, seamlessly paired with high-end finishes throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a dream, complete with a massive island that’s perfect for gatherings. The first-floor living spaces flow effortlessly and are equipped with a built-in speaker system, making it an ideal setting for hosting guests.
The third-story loft adds a touch of sophistication, with its wet bar and an additional master suite featuring a private bath. Enjoy the spacious sunroom with stunning views of the Nelson-Atkins Museum, a space historically adorned with lit Christmas trees during the holidays.
Outside, the property is equally impressive with manicured landscaping, rose bushes that bloom in the spring, and a new iron gate and fencing. The detached 2-car garage offers convenience, while a separate laundry room on the second floor adds functionality.
The master suite offers two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring a freestanding tub and a large shower. Located with the museum in your backyard, this home offers the rare opportunity to live in a piece of Kansas City history. Don’t miss your chance to own this iconic property. Owner is listing agent.
