Boss Tom's House is For Sale!

80 year old house with a 2 car garage for 4 mil?

Not even if I had that kind of dough. I guess the owner history must be of some value, as I have seen homes for 1/2 that price much nicer.

Depends on where you live, it's a bargain compared to comparable homes on the coasts.

It's the location. Kind of like spending $25 million for a New York City condo. The old money of KC live in that area. It's really accessible to the city without being in the city. The adjacent area on the Kansas side is also pricey. Back in the day the people that wouldn't put up with the KC corruption moved a mile west. The Kansas side became popular because of it. Ewing Kauffman, the Block family (H&R Block), Russell Stover (candy), the Disney family, the Kohl family (Hemingway wrote most of For Whom the Bell Tolls in their guest house... you'd be proud of a house like that!), the Talge family (Rival, Crock Pot, Seal-a-meal)... ah, too many more to list. It's an awesome area.

Mission Hills, where the beer flows like wine and minorities are pulled over before they even cross the state line.

The KCMO cop-thugs are much more worrisome than Mission Hills. Mission Hills doesn't have a police department.

It's also the fact that all those huge houses in south overland park are made out of balsa wood and about as original as Clay quoting PFF for the bajillionth time.

Not to be meticulous, but it should be “French Provincial architectural design, not "French Provencial architectural design."

It you are going to advertise a $3,950,000 house online at least get the spelling right.

Provençal?

It would be lucky to get 2.5. houses like that are the hardest to sell, very small percent of buyers have that kind of money and if they do they will build their own. As someone else stated a two car garage the price is a huge diterrant.
