Rockhill Gardens is one of the most popular Brookside/Waldo area subdivisions..and I just listed a terrific home here! It’s located at 400 E 71st Terrace, on the corner of 71st Terrace and Oak. Check out this curb appeal!
What’s so special about this Tudor style home is that it retains the original charming details yet is updated for today’s buyer! Featuring a popular two story, center hall floorplan, it has three bedrooms and two full baths, plus a partially finished basement. The living room features a wood burning fireplace, and the French door opens to a cozy side room–perfect for small playroom or reading nook.
The kitchen was recently updated, with new flooring, paint, cooktop and fridge. Extra bonus–a spacious pantry! The attached garage is just off the kitchen.
Note the large, light filled dining room with original arched windows!
The sellers have transformed the backyard since ownership, adding a patio, fresh sod and privacy fence.
Other important updates: newer roof, HVAC, exterior paint and sewer line. You can’t beat this location–walk to Waldo shops, services, restaurants and Bier Station! The address is 400 E 71st Terrace, offered at $315,000. Contact me at mary.hutchison@kansascityhomes.com if you would like more detailed information.
Father John Spicer, Rector, at St Andrew’s, has been watching the construction go on the past several months. He’s so excited about the new space, and eager to show it off to the Brookside/Waldo residents. As he explained to me, “We want this building to be a place of intersection between the church and the community.” St Andrew’s Youth Ministry will meet here, along with Boy Scout Troup 16 (here for more than 90 years!). Other groups are welcome: community meetings, business associations, classes for couples and parenting, financial seminars. Special events like wedding receptions, anniversary and birthday parties can be hosted in the space; there is a catering prep space/kitchen (alcohol permitted) and there will be a staffed coffee/snack bar with a special Roasterie Blend coffee named for the church. So if you are weary of working from home, or need a break while walking the trail, stop in the lobby of HJ’s, grab a beverage and relax on the patio!
Our locally owned Brookside/Waldo shops are so generous in giving back to our community. They donate gift cards to school fundraisers, host fundraising events for local organizations and really go beyond the usual grind of being an independent shop to actively helping others who need it.
Starting today, Monday April 16, the coffee bar will open at 10am, along with the deli and market. You can get coffee (or expresso, latte, etc) but no pastries or drinks with syrup. Owner Jake Imperiale says he’s changing the concept to “do it the Italian way” –meaning no coffee ‘to go’. Come in, order your beverage; it will be served on china and then you can sit down at a table and take the time to really enjoy your beverage. (And if you’ve ever been to Italy, you know that is the true Italian way to have a coffee. Linger and appreciate your drink, take the time to chat with your companion or sit and contemplate the day.)
