317 N Esplanade St, Leavenworth, KS 66048

Built in 1865 on Leavenworth's most storied residential street, this landmark Victorian sits directly across from the oldest public park in Kansas — with views of the Missouri River and the Centennial Bridge unchanged in 160 years. Located in the North Esplanade Historic District and minutes from Fort Leavenworth, The L.G. Terry House is a rare property where the bones are irreplaceable and the renovation is comprehensive. Original character is carefully preserved: leaded glass transoms, an Italian marble fireplace, original staircase, butler's pantry cabinetry, windows, millwork, molding, and gravity-fed radiators — all retained and restored. The original imported Italian chandelier stays with the home. The floor plan offers exceptional flexibility. The main-level den has its own fireplace and renovated en-suite bath — ideal as a mother-in-law suite or guest quarters. The primary suite upstairs features a fully renovated bath with marble heated floors, custom shower, and chandelier, plus a second bedroom, sitting area, custom closet, and upper-level laundry. The kitchen was completely rebuilt — custom soft-close cabinetry, new hardwood floors, built-in PFAS filter, recessed lighting, custom backsplash, Blanco sink, & new appliances. Major systems fully addressed: new roof, complete electrical replacement, multi-zone HVAC, foundation sealing, masonry repairs, and radon mitigation. The original boiler is retained alongside modern heating. The dry basement includes a climate-controlled workshop with two workbenches, WiFi, and exterior access — flexible as a studio, maker space, or hobby room. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2,700 sf of authentic Victorian craftsmanship — comprehensively modernized, historically intact, on one of the most distinctive addresses in Kansas. Private driveway. Fenced backyard. Short walk to downtown. Featured in the Leavenworth County Historical Society Vintage Homes Tour, The Leavenworth Times, and Leavenworth County Living Magazine.
