The Nunning House, which was built in 1887, is a one of a kind Mansion of the Queen Anne Victorian Style of Architecture. The home is of historical importance not only for it's architecture, but also because of the importance of it's original owner (August Nunning) and his ties to Missouri's Brewery history. With 4,500 square feet, 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, you will never run out of room in this Mansion. The home has been completely remodeled, with new electrical, plumbing and 3 high efficient heat pumps and gas furnaces to keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The house has a new slate roof with copper cresting, valley's and guttering. You can enjoy the 3 porches, one of which is screened-in to keep the bugs out. The home boasts fancy exterior Terra-Cotta work on the home's turret, which has been detailed painted to bring out it's magnificence. The home has new cement sidewalks, curbs, driveway and a parking lot that can fit at least 3 vehicles. The eleven main rooms of the Nunning Mansion are described as follows: Reception Hall (Vestibule) trimmed in oak with a screen on the staircase leading to the second floor and a fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround with brass trim, and encaustic tile flooring: Front Parlor trimmed in bird's maple with two sets of pocket doors (Bird's Eye Maple) and a fireplace mantle and over mantle (Bird's Eye Maple) with a stained-marble hearth and surround with brass trim; Back Parlor trimmed in walnut, pecan or butternut with two sets of pocket doors and a fireplace and over mantle with a tiled hearth and surround with brass trim; Dining room trimmed in cherry with one set of pocket doors, a fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround with brass trim, a built in sideboard/china cabinet, encaustic tile flooring and a closet; finished Kitchen with butler pantry and marble counter top; five Bedrooms on the second floor with fireplaces with painted marble mantles in three of the bedrooms, with one bedroom with parquet flooring. Three of the of the bedrooms have their own private bathroom with a shower. Laundry room is located on the second floor. There is a full basement with a walk-out entry into the back yard and an unfinished attic. Original gasolier light fixtures are in the Reception Hall, master Bedroom and on the front-stair Newel Post. There are 31 total stained glass windows in the home, including a very elegant Romeo & Juliet painting inside the 5' x 8' stained glass window on the staircase landing. Most of the stained glass has been restored. The home also includes 2 leaded glass transoms. The stained glass has been appraised at over $100,000. The yard is bounded by a wrought iron Victorian fence on the front and east sides. The lot is 108' x 139'. Since the Nunning Home is one of St. Joseph's most intact Victorian residences it will be sold with protective covenants to maintain its character. The Home is located within the Museum Hill National Register Historic District and has been featured in the popular TV show, 'If Walls Could Talk' (2008, 'Brewing Mystery).All of the incredible features that this home boasts, perhaps the coolest feature is the 'secret' tunnel that lies 30 feet beneath the basement floor. The original purpose of the 90 feet tunnel was to store beer for the Nunning Brewery, which at one point, had a capacity of over 35,000 barrels per year. Upon his father's death, August Nunning built his magnificent mansion over one of the Brewery's tunnels. August ran a copper line from the brewery to his home, supplying cold beer to him and his friend's 24/7. The home, which is located just 35 minutes north of Kansas City International Airport, is currently a single family residence. It has been, and is perfectly suited for, a Bed and Breakfast or a Law Office. The home would also make a fabulous touring home or museum.
