This is a one-of-a-kind home in Wichita. Penley House is truly the house on the hill! The unusual architecture style is Greek Revival, typically found on a large estate or a southern plantation. The interior touches of Victorian charm flow throughout this stately home. The home sits on a short half acre (.49 Acre). This home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the Kansas Historical Society. There may be grant money available for updates or repairs, according to the seller. This is a rare opportunity to make this jewel your home. This 2-story, three bedroom, four bath home is delightful with its split stairways and beveled glass pocket doors and ornate balconies (recently redone) from each bedroom. Lovely original hard wood flooring remains on the main floor in the living room and the dining room and in the upstairs master. The wrap around porch will give you hours of relaxation and enjoyment. There is also a large back deck, overlooking the in-ground pool and bricked patio. As you enter the foyer, the grand stairway is straight ahead. The living room is on your right, leading to the office (used as a music room) and a powder room. To your left is the formal dining room, which can be closed off with charming pocket doors. The kitchen opens to the cheery sun room, featuring a gas stove, which makes it cozy on those chilly days. The split staircase leads to the kitchen or the living room. The large master and two other bedrooms share the second floor. The master is very large with a walk in closet and an ensuite bath with French doors boasting a claw foot tub with a shower head. The second bedroom has a bathroom with a shower. All three bedrooms have their own balcony. The bonus room is on the third floor. It is a large, open space, ready to be transformed into a recreation area, an art studio, or perhaps another guest bedroom. Then, there is the darling Guest House, which was used as a one-bedroom apartment, complete with a living room and kitchen. Perhaps it could serve as a Mother-in-law suite, or an independent space for that college student. It was initially a two-car garage and could be converted back. The owners have lived in the home for almost 30 years and raised their family there. It is a well-loved home, needing some TLC. The neighborhood is friendly and peaceful.Via Christi Medical Center is conveniently close, as well as shopping and dining. The home is being sold As Is. A roof bid will be made available to a buyer who submits an offer.
