Some homes are measured in square footage. Others are measured in moments. I could tell you this is a 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath, 1.5-story lakefront home with a 2-car garage, owned by the same family since 1972, but that wouldn’t really tell the story. Instead, imagine what your next chapter here could look like. Like many original lake homes of its era, it began simply and was refined over time as spaces expanded and finishes evolved to reflect how it was lived in and loved. Now is your turn to reimagine and make it your own. Maybe it means early mornings in the bay window, sunlight pouring in while coffee cools beside you. Or long afternoons on the water, followed by evenings on the west-facing deck or dock, watching the lake settle into stillness. Maybe it means learning to sail or gathering a crowd for impromptu lake days, where time stretches between spring and fall and plans revolve around the water. When winter comes, you might find yourself on the frozen lake or simply enjoying the quiet from indoors. Downstairs offers nearly 1,000 square feet of unfinished space, ideal for creating, building, storing, or tinkering, alongside finished living space. And then the home's jewel, the backyard. It's rare, level, and expansive by lake standards, a place for games, gatherings, or simply room to breathe. This home has been thoughtfully maintained, with key improvements like a newer roof and HVAC already in place, offering a solid foundation for your vision. Set within Weatherby Lake, a lake community with 270+ acres of water, parks, trails, sport courts, and year-round events, all just minutes from Parkville, Briarcliff, downtown Kansas City, The Legends, Johnson County, and KCI Airport. Some homes check boxes. Others create a life you didn’t know you were looking for. Welcome home to Weatherby Lake.
