2045 S Chautauqua Ave, Wichita, KS 67211

Rare opportunity! This stunning all brick home has been lovingly maintained and cared for by one owner for the past 25+ years, and now it can be yours. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath Wichita ranch has beautiful updates and finishes, plenty of storage, nearly 2400 square feet of finished living space, is situated on a 0.55 acre lot, and almost all major systems and components are newer! Upon arrival, take in the beautiful brick, mature trees, and cupola with copper spire over the two-car garage. The roof, gutters, and gutter covers were replaced in 2016. As you make your way to the porch, stop at the threshold to admire the stained glass entry door, showcasing the superior workmanship of days gone by. Inside the living room, an enormous, new window provides beautiful views and natural light. The room has been freshly painted and the ceiling knocked down. The focal point of the room on the south wall is a wood burning, stone fireplace with a gas starter. An exterior door leads to a screened-in porch where you can enjoy peaceful evenings year-round. The other side of the living room features built–in glass shelving and can be used as an eating space. Step into the kitchen and be sure to open the cabinets. They are in excellent shape and several have pull-out drawers. The cabinets facing the breakfast nook are “pass through,” and open on both sides. All appliances remain. The main bath was remodeled in 2007. Down the hall you will find two bedrooms, a half bath with original tile, and the master bedroom. Check out the knotty pine sunroom that connects the 2-car garage and the house! It would make a great mudroom/drop zone and has a TV mount. Anderson French doors take you to the newly poured back patio with French drain. Please take care NOT to step on the pool cover. The pool is an impressive 20’ x 40’ and goes down 8’ at its deepest. The pool was last used about four years ago. There is concrete crumbling in one area, and we have a bid for the buyer to correct, if desired. See private remarks. Pool equipment was working when last used but is not guaranteed. The lower level can be partitioned into two rooms with accordion-style room dividers. The dividers are all working. Be sure to look at the intricate trim-work in the corners of the dividers. One side of the basement room has a brick fireplace with gas logs and lighter. The other side has built-in cabinets and a desk space. The electrical panel can be found in one of the cabinets; this was approved by the city. Some of the windows in the basement have been replaced. The laundry room has plenty of space for even the largest appliances, and the 50 gallon water tank ensures you can take showers as long and as hot as you’d like! Cowboy doors lead to more storage and the water softener (not working) and whole house filtration system (not in use). The HVAC system was replaced in 2021 and upgraded with a high efficiency system. In 2022, the electrical was updated to the whole house, including to the pool, and a whole house surge protector was added. Bring your magnifying glass, there’s so much you won’t want to miss in this home! Note: the property line extends beyond the wood fence around the property and includes a shed and back alley access.
