Another positive and practical feature is the versatility of space.Completely redone under the supervision of an FHA specialist, this house is ready to be a B&B, a small retreat center, or a lovely family home with additional income from the apartment. The extra wide and long (approx. 180' by 20') driveway welcomes RV parking and even has an RV dump hook-ups & 30 amp plug-in on site. This is a very unique property with many qualities not found in regular houses. Large beds of peonies, poppies, tulips, roses, and Rose of Sharon bushes bless the spring and summer. 14 mature trees provide shade on this large lot where Flood insurance is not needed.

Main House:  3+ BR, Den, extra large dining room, living room, split staircase, cedar lined walk-in Master closet, two decks, (upper and lower),  10' by 20' storage shed ... 3rd floor is a large open room suitable for two additional bedrooms or family room. Hardwood floors .  Comes with all appliances and two washer and dryer sets ( one set  in basement and one set on bedroom floor). Large luxurious main bath with deep tub and seperate shower on bedroom floor; plus half bath and large handicap shower on first floor.

Carriage House:  The beautiful 2 bedroom Carriage House apartment has approx. 1000 sq.ft. of living space enhanced by tongue-n-groove paneling, curved archways, new furnace,  lots of storage space, washer and dryer, and is presently rented to a fine person.  The two car garage space is used by the owner.  Tenant pays own gas and electricity.

Neighborhood:  Genesis House is situated within walking distance of historic Englewood Theatre, Art's District, and shopping center, is on the bus-line, and is only minutes from Independence Square with its interesting stores, coffee shops, large variety of churches, intriguing restaurants, and courthouse. This street with a grassy divide down the middle filled with flowering trees and spring blooms is lined with many large historic homes making it one of the loveliest neighborhoods in Independence. Commuters will love the ease and nearness of I-70 and/or I-435 for quick access to anywhere in or around KC.  

Note:  I will consider Lease to Own with 05% down, a legal contract, time limits, & acceptable reasons.  This is simply a sale with a delayed closing for those with new jobs, other houses to sell, job transfers from other states ... not for those with bad credit who just want to rent with no way to get their own mortgage within a year. Lease to own would mean I would have to live in the Carriage House apartment.
