Welcome to The Linden House, an updated 1920s home where historic charm meets modern simplicity. Tucked into Kansas City’s West Plaza neighborhood, this light-filled retreat features Scandinavian-inspired design, two queen bedrooms, and thoughtfully curated details throughout. The open loft-style upstairs suite gives the home a distinctive, airy feel, while warm textures and soft neutrals create an inviting sense of calm. Just minutes from the Country Club Plaza, local cafés, and tree-lined parks, The Linden House offers a serene and stylish base for your Kansas City stay.

Gather in the minimalist dining space beside the kitchen — a blend of soft wood tones, clean lines, and a striking modern-industrial light fixture. Seating for four invites slow breakfasts or dinners that stretch into conversation. Even the staircase nearby feels intentional, maintaining the home’s open flow and gentle sense of calm.

Bedrooms & Baths

The Linden House’s upper-level suite spans the entire second floor — an airy, open retreat tucked beneath the gabled roofline. This space features a king bed, a private bath with a step-in shower, and a cozy sitting area. Please note: the upper-level suite is open to the stairway and does not have a door, giving it a loft-like feel.

On the main floor, a second bedroom with a queen bed is simply and elegantly furnished, located next to the main bath with a classic shower/tub combination. Every detail balances the home’s 1920s character with thoughtful updates and modern comfort.

Outdoor Amenities

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine from one of the wicker chairs on the front porch patio. Perched slightly above the street, The Linden House offers a sense of privacy while still feeling connected to the charming, tree-lined West Plaza neighborhood.

Guests access the property using a keypad smart lock. Please make sure the door is pulled shut and the lock is finished unlocking before you try to open the door, or the lock may jam. If it jams, just pull the door all the way shut and try again.

I am available to answer any questions via the app between the hours of 7am and 9pm.
