1434 S Monument St, Wichita, KS 67235

This lovely zero step entry, cottage design patio home with carriage house lighting, floor to ceiling stone fireplace and wood beams, is set in one of the newer communities in west Wichita. Close to Auburn Hills Golf Course, shopping and Wichita’s International Airport. If you’re looking for that large country estate feel in a smaller, more manageable home, this is the one for you! The quality of upgrades is very obvious in this only 2.5 year old, immaculately cared for luxury home. Pretty much everything in this lovely home has been upgraded from the regular builder grade finishes, from the RD Henry soft close cabinetry with hand rubbed forged iron pulls to the luxury spa primary bath with stand alone tub, rain shower as well as hand shower, this home has it all. The open Gourmet kitchen/living/dining areas as well as large walk in pantry, make this a dream to host parties. If you suffer from allergies here in Wichita, the allergy capital of the country from 2023-2025, you’ll have no worries living in this charming home, as it has been professionally equipped with the RGF REME-LED whole home in duct air purification system, used by many hospitals to rid 99% of airborne and surface bacteria, viruses (including cold, flu and COVID-19 strains), MRSA, mold and RSV to name a few. This home has an oversized 3 car garage with 3 car drive up. It also has an above ground storm shelter accessible through the laundry room. There are too many fabulous upgrades to list so call for your own private tour to check them all out. Down to business: Last February, brokers from all across Wichita were invited to tour this home and each consistently valued it at 699,900.00. Zillow has it valued at 638,000.00 which is variable. According to Sedgwick County records, the MRA estimate of this home is 632,700.00. In reading the descriptions of the meanings of terms on that site, a home is usually appraised about 1% to 2% above the listed MRA estimate which would have this home appraising somewhere between 639,027.00 and 645,354.00. As no homes on this back tier with the privacy and views it affords, have been re-sold, there are no true comparables. The closest comparable would have to be 1308 S.Canyon St. which sold for 675,000.00 last May. While that lovely home had a little more sq. ft., it didn’t have quite the upgrades or the privacy enjoyed on this back tier, being it had streets on two sides and neighbors right across the small back pond from it. Other homes in this community have sold in the 400’s-500’s however most of them were smaller, built 3-8 years ago when costs to build were much lower and most had only smaller 2 car garages and backed up to neighbors or berms. Considering this home was one of the last to be built on a premium lot in this neighborhood and costs to build increased due to the COVID supply crisis. 635,000.00 is a bargain for this delightful home and all it provides.
