Historic College Hill, where many of Wichita's founding entrepreneurs resided, features one of a kind homes & tree and brick lined streets. This home is located on a rare corner double lot (across the street from the Frank Lloyd Wright home) that formerly boasted the 3 story home of A.A. Hyde, inventor of Mentholatum. After that home was removed, the owner of Wichita’s own Miller Theater, the most beautiful and completely equipped theater west of Chicago, built the English Country Tudor you see today. Mr. Miller built the home to commercial standards with 3x2 cement block construction and put nods to his theater in the home. The current owners have loved the history behind the home and will be transferring misc. write ups and the original 1939 building plans to the next owners of this historic treasure. This exterior elevation is complimented by a turret with stained glass windows, cloister, beautiful stone work, oversized attached 2 car garage, circle driveway & an impressive stone fence that wraps around the property. Upon entry, you are greeted into a 22x12 tile foyer with a column and a powder bath...designed similar to a theater entry. Great living spaces and features abound in this 1939 home...2 wood burning fireplaces; library with built-ins; main floor master suite with walk-in closets and heated marble bathroom floor; parquet and wood flooring throughout; 2nd level with loft, 2 bedrooms and a full bath; dining room; sun room; kitchen with Viking stove/range, wine refrigerator & a breakfast room; office and laundry room (former servants quarters); finished basement with rec room; wet bar room; powder bath and an exercise room. The backyard exemplifies a "park like setting" with an elevated patio off the sun room, multiple garden areas, courtyard with a fountain and tons of shady trees! Make this historic home a part of your family's history!
