1420 W 37th Ave, Kansas City, KS, 66103
About This Home
Perched high above the street with an unmistakable Victorian silhouette, this towering old home feels like something straight out of the Pink Palace in Coraline—a whimsical, character-filled structure you simply can’t reproduce at today’s construction costs. With four total units and RP-5 zoning, the property offers rare density and future flexibility at just $259,000, creating an extremely attractive price per door. The large detached garage adds storage or potential income. All units have been vacated and the upper floor unit 3 has been turned over and ready for resident move-in. With its elevation, architecture, and zoning already aligned for small multifamily, this is a standout opportunity for an investor who understands the upside.
