Looking for a handyman special project? This c.1910 American foursquare offers beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors, pockets doors, stunning staircase – all the elements that make a project worthwhile for an old house enthusiast.

The home is located in Osborne, Kansas (pop. 1,431). Settlers from southeastern Pennsylvania founded the town in May 1871 and named it after Vincent B. Osborne, a Union Army veteran of the Civil War. Osborne is one of those small Mid-Western towns situated smack in the middle of miles and miles of farmland. The town is just a 3o-minute drive to Waconda Lake, otherwise known as Glen Elder Reservoir. The lake, with its rural setting, is a great place to relax, fish, hike and go nature watching.According to ksoutdoors.com:

The reservoir covers what once was a mineral spring sacred to many Native Americans and former home of a sanitarium. The Waconda Springs Replica at the park pays tribute to this ill-fated site of Kansas geology and Native American history. At Waconda Heritage Village, a living museum, visit the historic Hopewell Church south of the park office.

Glen Elder Wildlife Area encompasses almost 13,200 land acres surrounding the lake. You can see and photograph a diversity of wildlife species. In winter, bald and golden eagles visit. Deer and pheasant are common sights. Waterfowl stop on their migrations, and a small Canada goose flock makes the area home.
