3718 N Briarcliff Road

Kansas City, MO64116

Welcome to 3718 N Briarcliff Rd — a historic mid-century home once occupied by the owner of the Calvin Company, a leading film producer of its time in the 1950s. The Calvin Company brought a touch of Hollywood to Kansas City, and that influence is reflected throughout this entertainment-centered residence. Renovated by Sweetbriar Properties, the home blends restored mid-century character with clean, contemporary finishes and has been featured in KC Spaces magazine. The main living spaces are oriented to capture expansive, ever-changing views of the Kansas City skyline and the Missouri River, while the bluff-top panorama stretches across three counties. From the kitchen, enjoy cooking meals with matching Kitchen Aid appliances while taking in sunsets, or step outside to gather fresh ingredients from the custom-built garden room and surrounding apple, pear, peach, and cherry trees. The backyard features ledge stone retaining walls, topped with custom iron railings, creating tiered, usable spaces that highlight prairie flowers, native plants and a seasonal garden. Multiple outdoor spaces—including a striking marble and granite patio—are designed for cocktails, dinners, and entertaining. Inside, more than 3,700 square feet flow effortlessly, supported by major upgrades including new septic and sewer systems, updated gas lines, new plumbing, new AC, windows, and Hardie siding. A bedroom retreat features a luxurious double shower with views overlooking the Missouri River valley below. An expansive movie room—once used for private screenings during the Calvin Company era—has been updated for modern living. Set in Old Briarcliff near the Frank Lloyd Wright Bott House, this is a home defined by originality, setting, and story. Opportunities to own homes like this are rare—don’t miss your chance to own this piece of Kansas City history.
