3681 Madison AVE Kansas City, MO 64111

The 2023 Kansas City Alliance Designer Showhouse is for sale! Standing amid other grand early-twentieth-century homes in Roanoke, this solidly built, commanding Jacobean-style charmer has the interior warmth of a Mission-style Craftsman on a generous entertainment scale. From the Center Hall entry, the beauty of the formal living room, with original chestnut woodwork & oak floors, has been given a garden feeling suitable to accessing its light & airy sunporch (with wet-bar), while the formal oak dining room has been enhanced with period authentic wallpaper and ceiling stenciling, suitable to accessing its semicircular screened porch overlooking the garden area. Gourmet meals for one and for many have been created in the step-saving kitchen with pro-grade stainless steel appliances, then served from the adjoining butler's pantry. Ascending the oak staircase to a landing made for reading a book or a tete-a-tete conversation, one comes to the second-floor center hall with its three bedrooms, dressing area, and newly remodeled full and half baths. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath await you on the third floor just off the spacious family room and gaming/eating area. While preserving some hallmarks of a bygone lifestyle (including living room sconces built for gas & electricity and a servant staircase with speaker tube on the second floor), the home today suits many given to a twenty-first century urban lifestyle. Home, marketed briefly in 2022, was not promoted once discussions began with the Kansas City Symphony Alliance in October and was withdrawn once contract was signed for the renovations and designed decor.
