Skip the lawn mower, keep the fireplace! Then trade your weekends for Oregon Trail wagon ruts, a bridge covered in love locks, and a 235-acre park just minutes from your door. This fresh, updated, move-in ready all-brick ranch-style condo at 1716 E 97th Street, Unit A is priced for real life in Linden Woods, and it’s built for pulling in, kicking off your shoes, and lighting the fireplace with no yard work, no gutters to climb, and no weekend chores waiting. Inside, 1,062 square feet of easy one-level living gives you 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, fresh paint in warm modern neutrals, brand-new flooring throughout, newer appliances, and an open living and dining area made for hosting or unwinding, with central air for year-round comfort and maintenance provided so your weekends truly belong to you. First-time buyers can skip the money pit, downsizers get one level with no stairs and no upkeep, investors get a turnkey property in a proven Kansas City rental location, and anyone working from home gets a second bedroom that makes a great office. Then there’s the location: you’re in the Center School District, just minutes from Minor Park, where you can walk the historic Old Red Bridge, trace the Oregon, Santa Fe, and California Trail ruts, play pickleball or tennis, and hop on the paved Blue River Parkway Trail toward Alex George Lake, with a seasonal Saturday farmers market in the park. The revitalized Red Bridge Shopping Center is also minutes away, with shopping, dining, the Mid-Continent library branch, and the Wonderscope Children’s Museum, and quick highway access puts the rest of Kansas City within easy reach. Updated, affordable, low-maintenance homes in this area don’t sit long. Book your private showing today before someone else gets the fireplace.
