Property Description:
This 4-bed, 2-full and 2-half bath home sits on a quiet block of Benton Blvd in Kansas City’s Oak Park neighborhood. The property spans nearly 2,000+ sq ft across three levels and is mid-rehab — offering a prime opportunity for a savvy investor or handy homeowner to finish the job. Several windows are missing or boarded, and the interior is partially updated but incomplete, with visible work started throughout.
🛠️ Half-Finished Rehab – Needs Full Interior Completion
The home has been partially renovated, but many projects were left unfinished. Here’s a breakdown of the major areas needing attention:
⌾ Windows & Doors: Several windows are broken or missing; multiple bedrooms lack doors.
⌾ Electrical & Fixtures: Light fixtures are incomplete or missing globes; some outlets are nonfunctional or not wired. The third floor and several bedrooms need full electrical setup.
⌾ Drywall & Ceilings: Various ceilings (main bedroom, third floor, bathrooms) have exposed or incomplete drywall. Decorative tiles in the living room remain unfinished
⌾ Kitchen: Lower cabinets are not secured; a ceiling fixture is missing, and the light switch was damaged during renovation.
⌾ Plumbing: Bathrooms and laundry room plumbing is partially installed but not tested or finished. One bathroom has no plumbing fixtures, and the master bath has exposed green board and an inactive exhaust fan.
⌾ Basement/Garage: The basement is unfinished; garage access exists but was never tested for vehicle entry.
⌾ Flooring: The third floor has a mix of unfinished wood and carpet; stairs still have old, stained carpet.
⌾ Walls & Patchwork: Multiple areas show signs of inexperienced drywall patching; some walls were left open for future electrical/plumbing updates.
💰 Solid Structure with Opportunity to Add Equity
With comps in the area supporting renovated values well above acquisition and rehab costs, this property could make a strong flip, BRRRR, or long-term rental play once completed. Bring your tools and vision — most of the demo and prep work is already done.
