Save This Old c.1900 Kansas Fixer Upper Neoclassical $30K

OHU50K Notes $30,000

Well, now, this old Kansas fixer upper certainly took me down a rabbit hole. I spent way too much time trying to find its history (see below). The old home has five bedrooms, two baths. It sits on a corner 0.43 acre lot and features a front porch with two-story pillars, a butt bay, and detached garage. A red door welcomes you into the home with a lovely staircase, hardwood floors, stained, leaded and etched glass, and a tiled bath. It has no sewer, and the utilities have been off for years, but it does have a history. It is located a short walk to Vivian Vance’s (Ethel from I Love Lucy) birthplace home at 309 West Sixth St.

Realtor Comments

This corner lot is almost half an acre and worth considering. You will discover a hidden treasure by looking closer beyond the overgrowth of trees and vines. The original flooring is stunning. Check out the woodwork, stained glass, and lead windows; await someone to revive the home. The space is abundant, and the floor plan flows effortlessly. A few perks include the large kitchen and detached garage. The utilities have not been on for years. The home does have a basement. If these walls could talk.
