Smart house technology blends with classic style in Kansas City's Brookside area

Gorgeous remodel on 58th Street in Brookside neighborhood, just south of Loose Park, offers a Control 4 smart house system. A touchscreen tablet controls lighting throughout the home. Sound system, security, surveillance cameras, and smoke detectors are all hardwired. An electric car charging station in the brand new, oversized, 2 car garage complete this 21st century home.

The owners converted the old attached garage to a 2 bedroom mother-in-law suite complete with its own luxurious bathroom. It's located behind the kitchen and off of the new laundry room and back door entry. The back entry has convenient coat cubbies, storage, and seating to change into and out of your muddy boots.

Upstairs, you have 2 large bedrooms, each running the width of the house. Each bedroom holds a full size bed for 2 and a single bed with a sofa area between. There is a second living room and beautiful bathroom between the two bedrooms. Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors cover the entire upstairs except for the bathroom which is heated tile floor. In fact, all of the bathrooms have heated tile floors.

Downstairs, the fantastic kitchen is open to the living area. Think of all the pies you could roll out on that beautiful granite island counter! And you could be visiting friends and family watching the game while you cook!

The dining room is on your right as you come in the front door; the master suite is to your left, on the other side of the Brazillian Cherry stairs. The master suite consists of a sumptuous bathroom, ample walk-in closet, and a spacious bedroom with an office tucked in to the recess in the far corner.

Tumbled Stones at Meyer & Oak in Brookside

I noticed this on my way to the office the other day.

Somebody took out one of the pillars in Brookside!

It looks like someone tried to drive through on the sidewalk! See the pile of stones that used to be a pillar?

The sidewalk along Meyer Blvd is extra wide making it a great place to run, walk, or stroll.Children often ride their bicycles and skateboards along this Kansas City Boulevard in Brookside.

Good thing no one was run over!
