The backyard is where this one wins you over. A composite deck steps down to a deep lawn framed by evergreens and a tall shade canopy, with room for a garden, a game of catch and long summer dinners outside. It feels tucked away, even with errands only minutes off.

Out front, the four-bedroom Colonial sets a classic tone with a columned portico and brick steps. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer. At the back of the house, the family room is the everyday gathering spot, with a beamed ceiling, built-in shelving, a brick feature wall and a wall of windows facing the yard. Next to it, the kitchen opens to a bay-window breakfast nook that catches the morning light.

All four bedrooms are upstairs, along with two full baths and a bonus room for an office or hobby space. The unfinished basement adds storage now and room to expand later.

Leawood South is known for wide, tree-lined streets and easy access to the city's best outdoor spaces. Gezer Park is about a mile away, with Ironwoods Park and the Tomahawk Creek Trail a short drive. Town Center Plaza and Park Place are just up on 119th Street. Golfers can choose from the Country Club of Leawood, Blue Hills Country Club or the city-owned Ironhorse Golf Club.
