Open Sunday 12/13, 2-4! Rare opportunity to own a historic home on one of Wichita's most beautiful streets, Belmont Place, between the arches! This 1914 gem has only had four owners, the first being Fern Mead Jordan, the widow of one of Wichita's founders, J.R. Mead and the last having owned the home since 1969. Walk into a huge entry with a classic center hall floorplan highlighted by a gorgeous open staircase. There are 10+ foot ceilings in the large living room and dining room which are both perfect for entertaining and are filled with natural light. The living room (32' long) is spacious and is anchored on the east end by a lovely fireplace. This home has been lovingly cared for over the years and retains many original fixtures and a sophisticated décor that lends itself to the age of the house and harkens back to the glamorous era of 1930's Palm Beach. The main floor also includes a bright and airy kitchen with large pantry, back staircase, and half bath~ perfect for guests. Upstairs you will find three large bedrooms with original hardwood floors, walk in closets, a sunny enclosed sleeping porch (ideal for a home office, nursery or 4th bedroom) and a large full bath with many original features and plenty of storage. There is an extra abundance of storage space to be found with the huge unfinished (yet could be) basement and attic. The private back patio and side yard provide endless possibilities to create your own outdoor secret garden. There is currently a sport court which needs repair or can easily be taken out and replaced with a southern exposure lawn and garden. There has been slight settling over the years which is reflected in some walls but is common with the age of the house, but the bones and structure and integrity appear solid and beautiful. There is a small yearly HOA fee ($175 annually) for the residents of Belmont Place to maintain the arches at Douglas & Central as well as the original electric streetlights along the four-block stretch. Don't let this opportunity to live on beautiful Belmont Place pass by- this is truly a MUST SEE!
