Charming 1930s Arts and Crafts Bungalow 5 Minutes to Fort Leavenworth Step into timeless elegance with this classic Arts and Crafts bungalow, ideally located just five minutes from the front gate of Fort Leavenworth.

Upstairs, a large bonus room spans nearly the full length of the home and includes a window unit that keeps it cool during the summer perfect for a home office, hobby space, or guest area. The previous three military tenants all used it as a productive and quiet office space. The bathroom is a showstopper with its large soaking tub and distinctive 1930s black and orchid tile. The front and side yards are fully fenced, while the backyard features an additional privacy fence within the perimeter ideal for pets or entertaining. The garage is accessible from the backyard and opens to the alley via an automatic garage door opener, with two additional parking spaces adjacent to the garage for added convenienice. Historical Note: This home was originally built by Mayer Garfinkle, who owned several successful furniture stores in Leavenworth. His attention to quality is evident in every detail of the house. Located just across the alley from his place of worship, Temple B'Nai Jeshurun, this bungalow reflects both pride of ownership and a deep connection to the neighborhood's rich heritage. Tenant pays for all utilities and provides lawn care.
