Ever wanted to look over downtown Kansas City from your living room? This condo on sale puts you 31 stories above the city.

The 2,271-square-foot condo takes up the entire 31st floor at 909 Walnut St., according to real estate website Zillow. It’s on sale for $1.39 million by real estate agency Platinum Realty.

While the living space is relatively new to the city, renovated in 2011, the building has a long history in Kansas City.

At 35 stories, it’s one of the tallest buildings in the Midwest, originally built in 1931 as the Fidelity National Bank & Trust Building. It was purchased by the federal government in 1946 and renamed the Federal Office Building before being repurposed in 2000 to the apartments and condos you see now.
