This adorable 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Tudor in Kansas City’s Waldo neighborhood is packed with the kind of character you just can’t recreate. From the moment you arrive, the brick-and-stone exterior, steep rooflines, arched details, and welcoming blue front door give this home undeniable curb appeal. Inside, original charm blends beautifully with thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors carry throughout much of the home, while the inviting living room features a fireplace and plenty of natural light. The formal dining room makes a statement with its dramatic walls and beautiful chandelier, and the bright, updated kitchen offers white cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, stainless appliances, and plenty of storage. Three bedrooms provide flexibility for sleeping space, a home office, or guests, while the updated full bath and convenient half bath add everyday functionality. One of the home's best surprises is the enclosed porch, a cozy, plant-filled retreat perfect for morning coffee, reading, or simply enjoying a little extra living space. Outside, the fenced backyard is ready to enjoy with a spacious patio, firepit area, room for outdoor dining and entertaining, and a detached garage. Mature trees and established landscaping add even more charm to this classic Waldo home. Historic character, modern updates, great indoor and outdoor spaces, and all the personality you hope to find in a Tudor—this one is absolutely worth seeing in person.

Sweet home with charming curb appeal. Two bedrooms on the main floor are not large but functional. Kitchen is being updated. Potential upstairs to make a small space into a grand suite.

Residential 5 District
Kansas City's residential (R) zoning districts are primarily intended to create, maintain, and promote a variety of housing opportunities for individual households and to maintain the desired physical character of existing and developing neighborhoods. While the districts primarily accommodate residential use types, some nonresidential uses are also allowed. The R district standards provide development flexibility, while at the same time helping to ensure that new development is compatible with the city's many neighborhoods. In addition, the regulations offer certainty for property owners, developers, and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed.
