Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Lee's Summit

Historic charm meets modern livability in this beautifully restored Lee’s Summit landmark — two homes on one lot, just steps from downtown Main Street. Originally built circa 1900 as the residence of William Blackwell (yes, the family behind Blackwell Road), the main house has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom: brand-new roof, new windows throughout, fresh paint inside and out, and a completely reimagined kitchen with stainless appliances, new cabinetry, new countertops, and more. The finished third floor adds a primary suite that is a true retreat — 24’ x 20’ with a walk-in closet, en-suite half bath, and its own mini-split system. Hardwoods have been restored throughout, both bathrooms updated with new vanities and so much more, plus the basement has been dry-locked, tuck-pointed, and reinforced. A fireplace with gas insert anchors the reading nook, and the front porch invites lazy afternoons with a swing and views of the Japanese maple.

Behind the main house sits a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath carriage house — a total gut renovation with all-new plumbing, electric, HVAC, and hot water heater. It features its own kitchen with stainless appliances, a dining room, living room, study, and laundry. Two decks, a gravel parking pad, and even an RV hookup with electric and sewage make it ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, or income-producing rental.

Both structures are built with Pacific Redwood and cedar shakes — naturally resistant to pests and rich with character. The .32-acre lot is level, treed, and fully fenced, with new outdoor lighting, restored porches, and a French drain system directing water away from both homes. No HOA. Low taxes ($3,177/year). Lee’s Summit schools. Walk to downtown Main Street’s shops, restaurants, and year-round community events. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Lee’s Summit history — fully updated for the way you live today.
