Extraordinary Home in Prairie Village, KS

By
Real Estate Agent with Platinum Realty SP00229578 2007027091

Last week I was privileged to be invited to visit the Kansas City Castle home at 87th & Mission Rd.- on the Kansas side of Kansas City. The home was built in 1928 by a man named Stonebraker as a symbol of love for his wife. Only one other family has ever lived in the home.

From the front door to the towers, this home is a magical paradise!Built in the Normandy fashion, the home has a tastefully medieval flavour that will delight the child in you.

Many statuary grace the 2.4 acres in the middle of Prairie Village. Every inch of the interior was meticulously crafted and is lovingly maintained to this day.

 Subtle and unassuming, this home will amaze and astound you as you explore the many rooms and passageways.

To find out more about this home, please view the MLS data.

Can you believe that this wonderful house exists only minutes from the Plaza?

Built in 1928, the house was expanded to more than twice it's original size in the 1970's. With the same eye for detail and creativity possessed by the original builder, the present owner seamlessly carried on the style and quality in the addition.

A fireplace one can walk into, murals in the north tower, and doors that are at least 3 inches thick make this a custom creation like no other in Kansas City.

The tranquility within the greenhouse will cause you to relax and forget the pressing matters of the outside world.

Children will love running across the bridge to the gardens full of fragrant roses, small boxwood hedges and the English pond.

What a wonderful setting for a game of pirates or maybe a wedding!

Very lucky! I actually had no idea what an extraordinary home it was until the invitation last week although I've driven by it hundreds, if not thousands, of times. From the street, you only glimpse bits of the structure. Walking up to the entrance, the building is revealed gradually. At no time do you ever see the home completely. Cathy Edwards, a friend and fellow realtor, has the listing. She is the best person for the job because she lived in the home as a child. It's truly a magical place.
