This Is Why I LOVE Brookside - Houses with Size & Character - 5715 Central, Kansas City, MO $285,000

One of my favorite historic neighborhoods and areas of Kansas City is "Brookside", while there is not an exact cut off on where this area runs East, West, North or South - if you ask someone they can tell you where we are talking about.  The heart of Brookside is most likely centered at the Brookside shops on 63rd / Meyer Boulevard and Brookside Boulevard.  For a bit more information on the shops, check here:  The Brookside Shops in Kansas City

While talking about the Brookside shops and before I get into telling you about this fabulous home for sale we have in the area I would encourage you to check out to restaurants that we have had fabulous dining experiences at in the last couple of weeks.

• JulianKC - where celebrity chef Celina Tio has created a great small bistro restaurant where the menu changes daily and the food is TOP NOTCH!  On a recent visit we had the Pork Belly BLT sandwich, fresh homemade hush puppies & the lobster bisque.  It was a great lunch and with the bright flavors you felt comfortably full, but not stuffed.  I would highly recommend Julian to anyone in the area!  Located in the Brookside Shops.

• Bella Napoli - Wow, this place is a true hidden treasure, 1/3rd luxury food market, 1/3 restaurant, and 1/3rd great wine / local bar... you could feed yourself for every meal from this location.  The Italian food was authentic and delicious, the wine prices were good and on Tuesday nights you have half off bottles of wine to help out even more.  This one made it to our go-to list for Italian in KC.  The homemade pastas, wood fired pizzas & sliced meat . cheese trays are worth buying for sure!  Check them out when you get a chance, located in the Brookside shops.

Now on to our featured listing - 5715 Central, Kansas City, MO 64113.  This beautiful home was built in 1929 and has outstanding finishes and character throughout that will pull you back to the classic style while living in the comfort of today's technology.  Starting with the commanding pillars out front and moving on to the coveted central hall floor plan you will love the feel of this home.  Possibly the best thing yet about this home, the price - just reduced $5,000 you can get into this outstanding block of homes from 250K to 500K for only $285,000!

This home just had all of the hardwood floors refinished throughout the home in a dark wood color and the large formal dining room, living room and kitchen with a half bath on the main level make it a great circular flowing plan.  Three large bedrooms with a sun-room in the master on the 2nd floor and a remodeled full bath are roomy and move-in-ready.  In the basement (unlike many Brookside basements that worry about water issues) this basement is dry and has a bonus finished room with an extra bath that for convenience.  

The backyard features a large deck for entertaining and a privacy fence.  Finish off this lovely setup with a location just a short walk away from Loose Park, The Trolley Trail, The Crestwood Shops, The Country Club Plaza & The Brookside Shops and you are nestled in a neighborhood that people move into and never move out of.  You will love having your own private drive and a large 2 car garage to take care of your vehicles.  I know that the right Brookside buyer is going to fall in love with the character of 5715 Central, KC, MO 64113.

It picked up a new name, the story goes, after an Iowa State ag school dean returned from the British Royal Agricultural Fair and declared that the KC show compared favorably with the Brits’. The American Royal, meanwhile, is also at least part of the reason our major league baseball team is known as the Kansas City Royals.  The American Royal also holds the world's largest BBQ, theAmerican Royal World Series of Barbequeevery year in October, a great time and place to bring people from out of town to experience Kansas City at a great time of year and focus on our BBQ culinary expertise.  The economic impact of this great Fall event in Kansas City at last estimate was around $70 Million Dollars per year!
