Under $100K Sunday ~ c.1921 Prairie Style Fixer Upper in Peabody Kansas Under $100K ~ Sold

This c.1921 fixer upper Prairie style home is located in a gorgeous, low-crime neighborhood of Peabody, Kansas. When you view the Google Map, you will see what I mean. Tree-lined streets, some of them brick, filled with one beautiful home after another.

I was smitten with this house as soon as I saw the facade. Those wide, bracketed overhangs are something. Plus, the property has a carriage house.

The interior seemed a bit dark for me (maybe due to the wide overhangs?), but the woodwork, hardwood floors, built-ins coffered ceilings and tiled fireplace are quite handsome. And how do you like that bi-plane lighting fixture? When I saw the built-in with the old sink, that clinched it.

Peabody (pop. 1,210) is the second community in Kansas to have its entire downtown district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1880’s Main Street district was listed on the NRHP in 1998. 

Named after F.H. Peabody, a Boston native and former vice-president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, Peabody is well known in the surrounding counties for its all-out July 4th celebration.
