Enjoy your morning coffee watching birds and nature in this quiet home
nestled in a friendly neighborhood in the KC Northland. Conveniently
within 15 minutes of KC's downtown, KCI (MCI) airport, and Soccer
Fanfest. Only 20 minutes from Arrowhead and close to dozens of
restaurants and two hospitals. Paying homage to the former owner's
love of birdwatching, the Bird House has at least one 'bird' in each
room. How many can you find during your stay in the entire upper level
of this updated home?

I am available from 8 am through around 9 pm 7 days a week. I do my best to respond within minutes. Occasionally, it takes longer.
Your monthly rent includes a linen exchange and light cleaning from the owner or their cleaning company every few weeks.

Please park on the LEFT half of the driveway or street (preferably downhill from driveway). Basement resident uses the right half of the driveway and garage with an often varied work schedule.

There is an apartment in the basement that is occupied by a long-term tenant. Neither unit has access to the other unit.
The tenant parks in the garage, on the right-hand side. Please leave the right side of the driveway open so they are not blocked in.

Canterbury Estates is one of the more established and coveted neighborhoods in Kansas City due to its proximity to downtown (10 minutes), the airport (10 minutes), historic Parkville shops and parks, shopping (Zona Rosa and numerous niche locales), and restaurants (in the Tuileries off NW 64th and Barry Road).

Evidence of damage due to significant construction materials, abrasives, or fabric, e.g., excessive mud, sheetrock dust, concrete dust, asphalt, shingle particles, cement, tar, oil or other materials that cause excessive wear, scratches, or cleaning of floors or carpet are subject to a $500 additional cleaning/ remediation fee. Unfortunately, due to damage from past guests, we remind that this home may not be appropriate for groups who do not exercise moderate levels of self-cleaning during their stay.
