Large beautiful home with so much potential! We stayed two nights in this home in Independence MO with a group of friends. We ate dinner and walked around in the downtown area on the evening we arrived. Walked the neighborhood and nearby church grounds in the morning and then attended a game at Arrowhead. The house is pretty cool. The kitchen is updated and the porch was a nice spot to sit and enjoy the weather.

The property is beautiful and well maintained. Easy to find, parking with full sized trucks was a little tricky but plenty of space inside and out! Appreciated the abundant room to spread out with a party of 7! Thank you for the quick response to assist in getting checked in!

About the host

Hosted by Johnathan West

Host profile image
Hello friends, We are the West Family. Our family of 7 lives on a ranch on Northern Arizona strip. We love ranching, country music, baseball and to travel.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home in 2020 and spent the summer there decorating, furnishing and painting. Are friends became best friends with the neighbors who are also now the property managers.
We were drawn to the area due to the past and future significance of the location as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

What makes this property unique

This property was originally located across the street. It was moved via remote control and wheels. It was placed on a new foundation. At one time it was owned by the Community of Christ and was being remodeled for their Patriarch.
The home is on the registry list as an historic home. The staircase is our favorite as you can see from the top to the bottom 4 stories.
