A rare opportunity to own one of Merriam’s most well-known landmarks, the iconic "Pink Pagoda." Located at the high-visibility intersection of Merriam Lane and Antioch, just seconds from I-35 and less than eight miles from downtown Kansas City, this historic property offers both prime exposure and unmatched character. The offering includes two parcels that must be sold together: the Pagoda and a separate 750-square-foot cottage located at 8716 W 49th Terrace. The cottage is uniquely zoned commercial but has a special exception allowing for residential use, making it ideal as a personal residence or rental. Additionally, the property features a nearly 800-square-foot detached shop, which is cooled and fully insulated, complete with an office, bathroom, and separate electrical service. Originally built in 1918 and designed by a Japanese architect, the Pagoda has evolved over the years, transitioning from a private residence to a retail shop and now office space. Zoned C-1, it offers flexibility for a variety of commercial uses. Recent renovations have preserved its historic charm while adding modern updates, including a new metal roof, state-of-the-art Anderson windows, and a complete interior overhaul. Positioned along Merriam Lane and Antioch, with nearly 8,000 cars passing by daily on Merriam Lane alone, this property is ideal for a business seeking visibility, a unique investment opportunity, or an owner-user looking to be part of its storied legacy. Don't miss the chance to write the next chapter in the history of the "Pink Pagoda." Schedule your private tour today.
