If you are looking for something special, something a bit out of the ordinary, check out this property! This iconic house has a little bit of everything on its sprawling 2.2-acre lot and a whole lot of family living space. It features small town living with a beautiful lawn in the front, irrigated by well water. The setting offers the perfect place for a picnic or the kids' baseball game. And, in the back yard, a private mini nature center with a pond where sellers see deer, fox, racoons, fish, ducks, owls and even a blue heron. Birders: this location is perfect for watching the abundant backyard birds in Kansas. An additional bonus on this special property: mature fruit trees and a producing blackberry patch. This private oasis is perfect for your alone time as is provides a Zen-like atmosphere. This house has not one but two 30’ wide covered porches spanning the width of the house (both front and back) to take it all in, rain or shine. Built in 1998, this house has a “vintage” feel with pained windows and doors, hurricane shutters, hidden pocket doors and a deck overlooking the pond area. Vintage-style lighting fixtures and beautiful crown molding top off the 10’ ceiling in the main living areas. When you look at the house from across the pond, you would swear you were in the Louisiana Bayou. But don’t be fooled, this house is thoroughly modern with Lutron Caseta light switches and fan controls, Home Automation that controls most of the ceiling lights, automated security system with a choice of monitoring options that don’t cost an arm and a leg, Blink cameras monitoring the entire house perimeter, new appliances (2021) in the kitchen which compliment a cheery open floor plan that doesn’t look like every other house with an open floor plan. Never carry a single stick of wood for the gas fireplace that lights with the flip of a switch. Enjoy warmth of the fire and the view through the abundant windows as the snow falls in the back yard. The main floor is stand-alone with the primary suite and a second bedroom with on-suite bathroom. The laundry room and a “window room” complete the rooms available on the main floor which means that you won’t have to go up and down stairs for anything. The basement contains 3 bedrooms and 2 more baths as well as a huge family room with a pool table (which stays) and a wet bar. An oversized 3 car garage with storage room, external tool shed as well as a “hidden” chicken coop complete this property to make it something that you will not find anywhere else. Sellers have repainted the interior with warm neutral colors and the perfect happiness yellow in the kitchen. Recent upgrades include new carpet throughout in 2020, new Class-4 Impact resistant roof in 2020, new main Air Conditioner compressor in 2022, bathrooms have with new vanities and toilets. This unique property is one minute from I-135, 3 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants and 20 minutes from Wichita. The location is also 3 blocks from the College, 2 blocks from the Wellness Center and right in the middle of miles of hiking and biking trails.
