Price reduced! I'm dropping until it sells. DON'T MISS OUT, make your offer before it's gone. If you wait too long I'll rent it out again. I want to sell this home to an owner-occupier who is looking for a safe, reasonably priced place to raise a family. Future potential homeowners, do not be afraid to contact me with a reasonable offer for cash or terms. I've run the numbers, you may be able to OWN this home for less than you pay in rent now. Gardener's paradise. LARGE lot, about 137 wide by 127 deep. Plenty of room outside for children and hobbies. 3 bed, 1 bath. Bath refurbished in 2020. 1068 sq. ft. upstairs, about 740 sq. ft. basement About 30 minutes from Olathe. The good: Walking distance to city park, city pool, ball fields, eating (DQ) and downtown Paola businesses. Less than 2 miles to almost anywhere you need to go in town. The previous owners enjoyed flowers and planted many. Double lot, there is plenty of room for a large garden. Central heat and air. Well insulated. Storm windows all-around. Furnace and water heater are natural gas. Hardwood floors in the living room and one bedroom, laminate flooring in the kitchen and 2 small bedrooms. Large open kitchen, quality old cabinets. About 14' x 17', with eating space in kitchen. The window over the sink has a nice view of the west side yard. Electric stove connection. Washer and electric dryer hookups. Paola schools. 3 blocks from Holy Trinity Parish School. Reasonably quiet neighborhood, not a main thoroughfare. Mature pecan and walnut trees, lots of shade. On and off-street parking. Plenty of elbow room for clotheslines, BBQ, gardening. The utility room is adjacent to the kitchen, not in the basement. Bedroom #1 is decent sized, about 12' x 14'. It has east windows, great for waking to the morning sun. Easy entry, one step onto the front porch. There is an old garage suitable for lawn mower and tool storage. It is not suitable for storage of household goods that must be kept dry. The traffic in Paola is usually civil. Once you get out of Olathe / Overland Park / Lenexa / JoCo, you won't want to go back. If you enjoy mowing and gardening, you will love this place. Some less-than-optimum points: This house was built about 1910 by people who were not tall. If you are over 6', there are two doorframes in this house that will give you trouble. Closet space is limited. The main bedroom (#1) shares closet space with the kitchen pantry. Bedroom #2 is small, about 8' x 10'. Bedroom #2 has no closet. Bedroom #3 is also about 8' x 10'. Bedroom #3 has a small (4'x4') closet. Access to the bathroom is through bedroom #1 and/or #3. Ceilings are 7' throughout the main level. Bunkbeds could be a tight fit for the top sleeper. Double well stainless sink only. No dishwasher. The foundation is part cinder block and part formed concrete. The basement floor is cracked but usable. The basement is generally dry but not suitable for carpet installation, etc. The garage building is usable but rough, dirt and chat flooring. The roof is in need of replacement and is a point for negotiation of the sale price. I can show it evenings and weekends. Buyers’ agents, bring your qualified buyers. Buyers - you pay the agent's fee. Cash or bank financing preferred. Contract for deed to owner-occupied homeowner can be arranged with 10-20% down and 2-5 year balloon. Real estate corporations and hedge funds with your straw man offers, move along.
