1954 Lake Terrace, Independence, MO 64055

Straight out of a storybook, this stone cottage in coveted Golden Acres is pure magic. Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac on nearly half an acre, the home backs to Drumm Farm Golf Course, delivering serene views and that “exhale the moment you pull in” feeling.

The cheerful sun porch—with its exposed stone details—offers flexible space for relaxing or home office. Inside, sunlight pours through generous windows, highlighting hardwood floors throughout the main level, a cozy fireplace, and timeless character at every turn.

The main-level primary suite (added in 2011) offers a private retreat with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while the second level provides a potential second primary suite with a dormer, newer windows, and an updated full bath. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home’s original soul—never trying too hard, never losing its charm.

This is the kind of home that feels special the moment you see it—and it was special enough to be featured in the Kansas City Star. Warm, welcoming, and full of personality… this one doesn’t just stand out, it sticks with you. You will enjoy showing this home.
