4721 Liberty Street, Kansas City, MO 64112

Four blocks from Country Club Plaza. Built in 2019. Still available. You're welcome. This concrete-and-stucco contemporary was owned by an artist, and it shows in all the right ways. The light is intentional. The layout makes sense. Wood floors, clean sightlines, an electric fireplace anchoring the living room, and a kitchen with a gas range, island, and pantry for people who actually cook and also enjoy being in the same room as other humans.

Novel concept. The primary suite has a walk-in closet that will quietly undo your "I don't need more stuff" stance. Upstairs also gets laundry on the bedroom level, because hauling clothes up and down stairs is a 1987 problem and you have enough going on.

At the top of the stairs there is a bonus space that has not decided what it wants to be yet: lounge, library, study, reading nook with a superiority complex. You figure it out. But here is where it gets interesting: the finished basement has its own ensuite bath.

That is a fifth bedroom. A guest suite. A private in-law setup. A space that actually gives you options rather than asking you to pretend a pull-out couch counts. Fair warning: there is a painted canvas on the basement floor. Before you spiral, know that the seller tucked an inch of foam padding under the tarp after learning that lesson the hard way in his last art space.

The floors underneath are fine. The story is better. Then there is the backyard. This is not a listing-description stretch when we say oasis. Private, wood-fenced, and the kind of outdoor space that makes you cancel plans because staying home is genuinely the better call.

Pair that with a front-facing two-car attached garage and you have something West Plaza almost never hands you. Westwood Park is 3 blocks away. Loose Park is a mile. The Nelson-Atkins, the Kemper, the Crossroads Arts District, Crown Center, and every patio Country Club Plaza has ever produced are all embarrassingly close. This address, at this finish level, does not sit.
