Built in 1942 by Francis Fishburn, Park University’s longtime librarian and the namesake of the university archives, this home combines Parkville history with a long list of recent updates. Located in coveted downtown Parkville with views of Mackay Hall and just blocks from English Landing Park, downtown restaurants, shops and trails. Expanded in 2000, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor and 2 additional bedrooms, a loft, hideaway finished dormer and full bath upstairs. The main level features beautifully refinished hardwood floors, a living room with fireplace and a large, light-filled kitchen and entertaining space. The kitchen features a huge quartzite island, quartz perimeter countertops, new backsplash and vent hood, tons of cabinetry and built-ins, plus a wall of windows and doors overlooking the backyard. There’s plenty of room for a large dining table and additional seating. SO MUCH NEW: roof, refinished hardwood floors, carpet, interior paint, front stoop and porch, kitchen backsplash and vent hood, A/C units and one furnace. The second furnace is only about a year old. Many windows have been replaced with vinyl windows, newer LVP upstairs and lots of new landscaping round out the updates. A surprising amount of space, great natural light, major updates already completed and a location right in the middle of everything that makes downtown Parkville such a great place to live.
