Sunset Hill Custom Home
Set within Kansas City’s historic Sunset Hill neighborhood, this custom home balances tradition with contemporary living. Drawing inspiration from the Neo-Federal style, the design took cues from the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Delaware, ensuring a presence that feels both established and relevant. The project team collaborated to craft a residence that reflects the grandeur of its predecessors while embracing the comforts of today.
Inside, period-specific details merge with modern amenities. Hand-waxed knotty pine paneling, a custom panoramic mural and fireplace surrounds modeled after 1940s mantels lend authenticity. Subtle updates, including concealed drapery panels and vintage-inspired window treatments, reinforce the home’s historical narrative. The interiors were curated to evolve over time, allowing for a growing art collection and an ever-changing blend of antique and contemporary furnishings.
With a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, the home features a three-season porch, an outdoor kitchen and a pool house. Every detail—from reclaimed brick pavers to gas lanterns—was selected to ensure a residence that will endure for generations.
