Property Description

If you’re looking for a truly one-of-a kind property, you’re in the right place! This iconic Louis Curtiss home sits on one of the principal lots in Westheight Manor, KCK’s historic registered district, and the 100-year-old estate is a genuine work of art. Known as the Harry G. Miller Residence, it’s believed to be among Curtiss’s last designs, an early example of a split-level home the architect reportedly called his “Home of the Future.” The impeccable cement-and-steel foundation, thoughtful layout and the restored barrel-roof living room make it easy to see why.

From the moment you arrive, the craftsmanship is unmistakable. Freshly painted white stucco is accented with colorful tile, and behind the Spanish tile façade sits a brand-new, high-quality TPO roof, a real investment that means peace of mind for years to come. Outside, you’ll find multiple spaces for entertaining and gardens full of perennial flowers ready to make your own.

Inside, the details are extraordinary: a built-in grandfather clock, hand-stenciled woodwork, bespoke hardware, brick archways, and backlit stained glass. The kitchen blends modern convenience with historic charm, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, freshly painted original glass-front cabinets and built-ins, and a cozy breakfast nook.

Perched on the hill, the home is soaked with natural light and views of mature trees. Thoughtful updates include a primary bathroom with heated floors, new tile, and a new vanity, while the hall bath retains its original square tub and tile.

The lower level adds even more versatility- a remodeled laundry room and multiple bonus rooms perfect for a home office, studio, or hobby space. A tandem garage provides plenty of parking & storage for your projects.

Built as the home of the future, a century later, 2204 Washington Boulevard is still ahead of its time.
