About this House

*Back on Market at no fault of the Sellers. No inspections were completed.* This is a great opportunity for any investors looking for their next project. The property features two gas log fireplaces, low-maintenance vinyl siding, a roof that’s only 9 years old, HVAC system that’s 7 years old, and a 3-year-old tankless hot water heater with matching water softener. Windows and back door upstairs have been replaced, and all appliances will remain. The home also offers main floor laundry, a walkout basement leading to a fenced backyard, and convenient access to I-70 and nearby amenities. A convenient drop-down attic ladder provides easy access to additional storage space.

Inside, the home needs significant cosmetic work including refinishing hardwood floors (additional hardwood floors under the carpet), drywall repair, paint throughout, and a deep cleaning. The kitchen and hall bath floors have been updated with LVP, and the hall bathroom has been recently improved with a new vanity and a walk-in tub.

Buyers should be aware that the property needs foundation repairs: vertical cracks will need sealing, and the north foundation wall will require bracing. This home is priced with the work in mind and is ideal for investors or rehabbers ready to bring it back to life.

With strong mechanicals already in place and potential for equity, this property offers a solid project opportunity in a desirable location.

12805 E 40th Ter S, Independence, MO 64055 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,320 sqft single-family home in Luff, built in 1960. It was last sold on Dec 10, 2025.

"I’ve lived in this neighborhood for almost 13 years. The neighbors are nice. People keep their front yards clean and people clean up after their dogs when taken on walks. I love the elementary school, you can walk to it with your children. The streets are not busy and kids can play outside and ride bikes safely. "
