Do you love the water, the lake life, swimming, fishing, boating, kayaks and floating on your days off but can't drive to a resort every weekend? Why not live at the lake year round and have it all?
Thinking of a move to Kansas City Missouri? You should consider Lake Tapawingo! Tapawingo means "beautiful water" or "beautiful place" and so it is!
The City of Lake Tapawingo is a small private community of around 375 homes built in the 1920's as a "retreat and rest haven" on 315 acres. Many residents at the lake have been there for decades and their children, grand children and great grand children have continued to live in this wonderful community!
8 Clipper Drive Lake Tapawingo MO 64015 is a 5,846 square foot home on the lake front of Lake Tapawingo with a beautiful landscaped front yard and lake views from almost every room in the home.
This amazing and unique home was originally a 2 bedroom lake cabin that has been expanded over the years by the previous owner. The previous owner loved the lake and the lake community and made the home into an place where he could enjoy entertaining guests and family members throughout the year! He wanted to have the most beautiful and amazing home at the lake and at the time that he had renovated the home it certainly was and is a masterpiece!

Entertainment in the house included an upper level recreation room with windows all the way around so you can look out at the lake from every angle while you play on the handmade shuffleboard table that was brought into the home by a crane (and stays with the home) a pool table (which also stays with the home).
