Tucked away on a beautiful tree lined street in the Verona Gardens neighborhood of Leawood, this side-by-side split offers ample living space, a primary ensuite with a walk-in closet AND the perfect location! And the best part...it's under $500,000. But...this kitchen is the biggest surprise! Featuring gorgeous cabinets with roll out drawers in the pantry and a pull out spice rack near the stove, everything is positioned in just the right spot. The kitchen opens to the family room with a fabulous brick fireplace, floor-to-ceiling built-ins, beams, and a slider taking you straight out to the back deck. You get 2 living spaces on the main floor PLUS a finished lower level with even more gathering space, built-ins, a bar! Plenty of space to relax or entertain. The primary bedroom features an ensuite bath AND a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete the level. A fourth bedroom sits up a short staircase. The upper level bedroom is perfect for a home office or guest bedroom. The attached two-car garage features one extra deep bay and is deep enough for full-size vehicles plus workshop space or storage. Outside, the updated deck features privacy screening to enjoy a peaceful evening outdoors. Location offers the biggest benefit. You are less than 1 1/2 miles to Tomahawk Creek Park and trail system connecting more than eight miles of trails and a four mile path leading to Leawood City Park. Trader Joe's, Town Center Plaza, and Park Place are a quick drive down 119th Street. Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que, North Italia and a number of amazing restaurants as well. 435 and US-69 put the Plaza and downtown Kansas City roughly 25-30 minutes out.
