About the host
Hosted by Mike A
We searched and searched for a downtown loft. But, the prices /sq. ft. were just too high for an unfinished space. So, we found a city lot w/a skyline view and built a new home that looks like a downtown Loft on the first floor. That's why the floor plan is open w/ post and beam construction, just like the old River Market & West Bottoms Lofts. It is the best of both worlds, downtown living with a view and a 1/2 acre fenced in yard for the kids. Very quiet, safe and walkable Beacon Hill neighborhood. Lots of repurposed materials. Exterior stone was reclaimed from a 100+ year old Catholic church in Kansas City, that was demolished. Additionally the interior has exposed ceilings that are also constructed from reclaimed, old growth, T&G pine decking. The orange color of the wood is the natural patina, aged over 100+ years. The interior and exterior layout of this home makes it excellent for small family gatherings, wedding parties (not weddings), BBQ's, and all entertaining. We have enjoyed entertaining friends and family here for birthdays and holiday celebration. Starting in May of 2019, we will be sharing this amazing home with you and your family, so you too can enjoy making a new memory at what we affectionately call the KC Castle.
Why they chose this property
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Located just one exit south of Downtown. This home is less than one minute from the 22nd street exit off 71 hwy. You can be downtown to the Power & Light entertainment complex, Convention Center, Sprint Center, Midland Theatre, Kauffman performing arts center or anywhere else Downtown in less than 5 min. We are also in close proximity to great coffee shops, award winning restaurants and bars, grocery store, and all of the popular Downtown wedding venues. The neighborhood is very walkable and has additional community green space. If you want to stay in the hottest neighborhood in Downtown KC, Beacon Hill is where it's at! No disappointments!
What makes this property unique
Unbeatable location! Perfect for a family visiting KC who want to stay together and be centrally located. This home has four bedrooms plus the kid's Loft bedroom (BR 5). The master Suite has a king size bed. Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 each have Queen beds and are en-suite. Please note: bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Hollywood/Jack and Jill bathroom. The kid's Loft bedroom is on the third floor and has a full size bed and a twin over full size bunk (3 total beds in kid's Loft). In total, the bed set up comfortably sleeps eight adults (four couples) plus 2-3 kids. Or, seven adults can each have their own bed.
