i live ,now ,with my mother about 5 blocks from this home. i love it (exterior). Not a bad price for prime elegance
The exterior is lovely but the interior is utterly dreadful.

Based on the wardrobe and interior color and furniture choices, I'd say the owner of this property probably has a semi-automatic to brandish at prospective African-American buyers.

And for that amount in Kansas City I wouldn't want to be within throwing distance of any neighbors. Overpriced and overdone.

I was in KC for a couple of weeks last year and drown around these neighborhoods. I was surprised and how many really beautiful very large homes there. If I could get a job there I would definitely move there.

If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a house, it's not going to be in Missouri.

The black marble (or. whatever the hell it is) floors are horrible. I had a small seizure looking at the picture of the black and white checkered entryway with the spiralesque rug on the stairs.

The interior is atrocious. Not to mention the fact that it is in Missouri. The Blow Me state.

That's not on Meyer Circle, the "remodel" is atrocious, and every house within a 2 mile radius of that has great natural light. Is your mother that angry woman who turned her front yard into a sandpit a few years ago?

A much better KCMO house with questionable decoration, for your consideration:

It’s actually a really nice house. I could make it amazing for $100k. All of the flooring needs to go. The paint is awful. Needs different lighting fixtures. Putting a little money in now will get them a lot more in the long run. Why do they have that tacky furniture?

The Mission Hills/Ward Parkway corridor is a beautiful area, but this house seems over-priced for its particular location IMO. Don't get me wrong - that neighborhood is nice, just not $1.7 million nice. If it were either closer to Loose Park (and the Plaza) or on the other side of Ward Parkway - I could see that number perhaps. The interiors are...umm....lacking to say the least. This home is listed for less $$$ and is on a FAR better block for instance:

If a buyer were in that price range and looking to renovate anyway - this one is a stunner on a spectacular piece of property. Just a few blocks from OP's listing - this one sits in the center of some of the best homes in the city:

OP, you should have said "Tasteless Friends" because whoever decorated that lovely structure has no taste.
I had the same thought as R8 about the carpet on the stairs. Killer carpet, causing the deaths of many who dare to walk down the stairs.

That’s an awful lot of house for someone gnawing on an umbilical cord. Are there cottages in the area?

Like:
Pale blue/gray paint in the hall and living room. Dark gray paint in the study. Black and white stairs (without the runner). Kitchen (except it's way too small for the size of the house), 2nd bath minus the awful flooring. Sun room. Pool.
Dislike:
Dark blue and purple paint, awful furniture, all of the flooring, crazy stair runner. Master bath (dear God). Conference room...er....I mean dining room. Cheesy McMansion basement. Shopping mall landscaping. Terraces on the facade that serve no purpose.

I get a very big Delia from "Beetlejuice" feeling looking at the interior.

That is a stunning house OP..... until you go inside where it all turns to shit. Fucking can lights everywhere, mostly shit furniture, mostly shit light fittings (bar the chandelier in the dining room, that can stay), horrible flooring. Whoever remodeled this remodeled all the character and most of the period details out of the interior. Total clusterfuck. I guess with nicer old furniture, rugs everywhere to hide the floors as far as possible and changing out most of the lights and curtains it could be made bearable but it still wouldnt be able to cash the cheque the exterior is presenting
The house at R20 is much nicer. I'd still change a few things but its quite livable as it is
House at R24 is beautiful, but has a less severe case of what OP's house has, interior is a bit blah, nothing that couldnt be changed in a few days. The light fitting in the bedroom would be the first to go
The old Art Deco place at R25 is neat if you like that style, but needs a shitload of work

I think the r24 house is on the block where they filmed Mr. and Mrs. Bridge. r25, is, no joke, is a few minutes walk from my mother's and it's a bad luck property, totally out of character with the neighborhood and on the wrong side of the state line to be asking that price.

R20 that is one of my favorite homes in KC. It sat derelict for decades. BUT i don't like Hyde Park. Its getting better but basically hemmed in by ghetto and the residents are against anything that might fix that.

Like its sister city across the state, St. Louis, Kansas City is a complete shithole. It's just that KC simply pretends it isn't the racist shithole it really is, and pretends better than STL.

Another beautiful KC home, this one was probably decorated by the person OP's owner was hoping to imitate. (Someone went crazy with the color wheel!)

With the checkerboard floor and red furniture it feels very Through the Looking Glass. Lovely from the outside, good bones, but tearing out that much marble seems wasteful. The black marble bathroom with lavender is atrocious. Fortunately, the walls can be fixed with a paint job, but half the floors in the house would need to be replaced.
