About 116 E 78th Ter

This is NOT your typical Waldo bungalow! From entertaining, gardening and chilling on the spacious lot with a secluded vibe on warm spring and summer evenings to those cozy fall and winter nights by the fireplace surrounded by built in bookshelves, this house will feel like home all year long. The kitchen is contemporary, with stainless steel appliances, modern finishes, and a separate laundry room, and is open to the living room. The detached one car suspended garage + carport also has a full-sized basement, perfect for storage, hobbies, or a workshop is an absolute rarity in the area. Located near the heart of Waldo, with easy access to highways and the rest KC has to offer, you will not want to miss out!! New roof in 2024! New A/C 3 years ago! The house faces 78th Terrace, but the garage access is on Grand. Inspection report from 2021 is available as part of the disclosures, but please be aware some items have changed.
