Magnificent 1890 Victorian Showpiece in Kansas City’s Historic Pendleton Heights

Standing proudly in Kansas City’s Historic Pendleton Heights neighborhood, this remarkable 1890 Victorian residence represents an impressive marriage of preserved nineteenth-century craftsmanship and comprehensive modern renovation. Offering approximately 5,685 square feet with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, the home possesses the scale and architectural presence characteristic of Kansas City’s grand historic residences.

From the outside, a stately turret and expansive wraparound porch immediately establish the home’s Victorian identity. Inside, soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, stained glass, restored fireplaces, and refinished hardwood floors continue the historic experience while extensive improvements bring the residence into the modern era.

Rather than removing the home’s original character during renovation, considerable attention was devoted to preserving and restoring its surviving architectural details. Plasterwork was repaired, custom trim was milled to complement the original woodwork, stained glass was restored, and fireplaces were carefully renewed.

The result is a substantial historic home where period craftsmanship remains central to the experience while updated mechanical systems, a renovated kitchen, modernized bathrooms, and contemporary finishes provide today’s conveniences.
