Property Description
Perched above the pond at Loose Park, 239 W 52nd Street offers one of Kansas City’s most iconic and picturesque settings—where front-row views of the water, walking paths, and daily sunsets create a truly exceptional lifestyle. Originally built in 1915 and expanded in 2011, this stately 3-story home blends timeless architecture with thoughtfully designed living spaces. Listing includes house and lot on property. The home features 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, zoned HVAC, and a rare 3-car basement garage. The expansive kitchen and family room flow seamlessly to a resort-style outdoor space, complete with a gunite pool, hot tub, built-in outdoor kitchen, and beautifully maintained gardens—including dedicated herb and vegetable beds. The third floor includes a vaulted theater/family room, two bedrooms, and a full bath. A hidden bonus room with rustic decor and a working Buck stove is privately tucked away on the west side—accessible by secret bookcase door or spiral staircase from the primary suite below, creating a cozy, one-of-a-kind escape. The home offers countless places to relax, both indoors and out. Two heated patios extend the seasons—one overlooking Loose Park pond, and the other adjacent to a privately owned ball field that is a beloved part of the neighborhood fabric. Frequently, children knock on the door to ask if they can play a game of wiffleball—continuing a charming community tradition. The ball field was recently separated via lot split and is separate from the purchase of home (MLS 2565380). Located just minutes from the Country Club Plaza, this extraordinary property combines historic charm, modern comfort, and unmatched surroundings in one of Kansas City’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
