Many buyers me they want a house with ‘good bones’ — that is, a home with all the major expensive maintenance items completed.  It’s especially important to first time buyers who have to make every dollar count towards a down payment or closing costs.  They are often willing to remodel the inside of the home themselves.

Brookside/Waldo area home for sale

This new listing has been very maintained by it’s current owner, who has recently replaced all of the pricey mechanical items:  the heating and air conditioning system and roof are newer; most all windows have been replaced; the electrical box was replaced and the foundation has been checked and braced.  It has a charming Tudor design, with stone and brick exterior, an enclosed side porch and a private driveway.

Living Room

Inside, you’ll find a bedroom and full bath on the first floor, along with a spacious living room and dining room.  The kitchen has a gas stove and refrigerator–those appliances stay, along with the washer and dryer. Upstairs are two large bedrooms and another full bath.

This house does need some updating — you could spend a lot of money for a total rehab of the kitchen and baths or plan a more moderately priced project with some fresh paint, countertops and décor.  The location is very convenient–just off Holmes Road, on a bus route, within a mile or two of UMKC, the Plaza, Brookside/Waldo shops and restaurants.
