The Coats House has stood on iconic Gladstone Boulevard as a quiet testament to timeless elegance since the turn of the last century. From the moment you step inside, you’ll understand why.
Located in the Scarritt Point historic district, and listed on the national register of historic places, this cut-limestone landmark carries a distinction few homes can claim. Leaded crystal glass entry doors open to soaring original millwork. Original stained glass fills the rooms with warmth and color. A thoughtfully updated kitchen with island opens into a large dry pantry. A scullery complete with second sink and dishwasher leads to the dining room anchored by a beautiful fireplace. The first floor features two living spaces, a large dining room, a bonus office or main floor bedroom, and a half bath. No expense was spared with the maple floors in the parlor, white oak flooring in main areas, delicately-carved mahogany woodwork on the stair landing, and white pine flooring in the bedrooms.
The second floor has four bedrooms along two full bathrooms. Beautifully-renovated bathrooms are designed to feel at home in this historic setting, meaning you never have to choose between character and convenience. The laundry room is located on the bedroom level-no more lugging laundry up and down to the basement!
The third floor is a blank slate ready to create the bedroom suite of your dreams, a large game room, office-whatever your mind can dream. A large, tall basement is also a blank slate for a wine cellar, workout space, tool storage, or speakeasy-style bar. Set on a rare double lot, there is room to breathe, garden, and gather. Radiant heat completes a home that is as warm and livable as it is architecturally extraordinary. Plus, this is all within one of Kansas City’s most vibrant and cherished neighborhoods in the Historic Northeast. The large corner lot directly to the west can also be combined with this sale.
