PRAIRIE LODGE ELEGANCE with luxury upgrades and prime Kansas City location. Architecturally unique home on a private, picturesque dead end street in prized Claymont Estates has the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern upgrades. From the moment you arrive, the impressive stone and stucco exterior, circle drive with portico parking, and exquisite plantings set a warm and inviting tone. The only other homes you see are all unique and prestigious but you are only minutes from the heart of Kansas City, the airport and the new Morton Salt entertainment venue in Riverside. And there is NO earnings tax in Gladstone! Soaring vaulted ceilings and a massive stone fireplace anchor the open living area, complimented by a dramatic window wall that fills the space with light. Gleaming oak floors flow throughout, and built-ins provide both character and storage. Enjoy your coffee and paper in the library with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the peaceful garden. Ascend the floating staircase to a serene master suite with a steam shower, heated floors, and an expansive walk-in closet. As a mater of fact, every bedroom has a walk-in closet. The second upstairs bedroom is 19X12. Two more ample sized bedrooms are located on the ground floor. Need even more bedrooms? Configuring them in the light, airy finished basement would be easy and there is an unfinished room at the base of the steps already roughed-in for a bath. Step outside the basement family room, through the new Anderson doors to the stamped concrete patio. Then to the backyard oasis, professionally curated by a Master Gardener, boasting lush landscaping and tranquil privacy. The new $35,000 composite deck with electric canopy on the main living room level will welcome all of your guests to enjoy the view also. There is also a backyard door out of the laundry so that area can double as space for plants, has a dog bathing shower pan, and enough cabinetry for event staging. Zoned heating, 1-yr-old roof.
