I like the exterior! The interior needs someone to save it. They tried to modernize this one way too much. Hoping someone will buy it and bring it back. This home was built in 1881. It is located on one acre in Kansas City, Missouri. The property has a pool, hot tub and gazebo. The home has new roof, gutters, furnace, AC and updated exterior paint. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3,150 square feet. $349,000
