Pendleton Heights Brick Ranch
Potential B&B operators, take note of this one!
Designed by architects Shephard and Farrar, this stunning Victorian foursquare was built in 1899 for Oliver Carlat — a prominent businessman whose interests included a shoe factory, furniture store, a hay and feed store, and a funeral home in the City Market area.
Following Carlat’s sale of the property in the early 1900s, Herman Dierks, president of Dierks Lumber and Coal Company, owned the home. The home was divided into five apartments during the 1940s probably to provide housing to returning soldiers from World War II. The last two owners of the home have painstakingly restored the house to its original grandeur and single-family status.
Hardwood floors — oak, pine and maple — oak and mahogany woodwork, unusual pocket doors and a host of original features uncovered by the homeowners all point to the immaculate care this home received over the last 15 to 20 years, making it the museum quality restoration that it is.
Featuring over 5,000 square feet of living space as well as a private Victorian garden, complete with a Koi pond, gazebo and covered hot-tub behind the carriage house, this house is turn-key to the next owner. The carriage house also features a rented apartment over the 2-bay garage.
The home is located in the heart of the Scarritt Point National Register Historic District and is eligible for historic tax credits as well as the Scarritt Renaissance 10-year property tax increase abatement.
This gracious home is being offered for $393,768 by Prudential KC Historic Homes Specialist Walter Guth.
