About this home
This is a chance to own a 1910 built mansion in the Italian Renaissance style with Craftsman influences, on a red brick street. This home is in the quaint southeast Kansas town of Chanute. Chanute is located around 2-hour drive, plus or minus from Wichita, KS, Kansas City, and Tulsa, OK. The town is reminiscent of the fictional “Mayberry” on the Andy Griffith Show! Chanute has a history of being a very wealthy town in the early 1900’s. As a result, there are many nice homes and historic buildings, including a nice Art Deco styled hotel. Chanute has k-12 schools and a local Jr. College and hospital. The home has stunning workmanship with dark woods, incredibly intricate wood floor patterns in all the wood floors on the main, 2nd and 3rd floor residential area. Unusual for its time, there is a full basement will tall ceilings, that is partially finished. There is also a large walk in safe with steel doors. The home is approximately 80% renovated, but there is still work to be done. The current owners are not able to continue with the renovations and would like to pass this dream on to the next caretaker of the “Fisher House”, named after the original owners. The 2nd floor is services by a grand staircase off the foyer, and a back servant staircase. There are 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor all with full bathrooms plumbed in. The 3rd floor is accessed by one staircase and has two or possibly 3 bedrooms. The 3rd floor flooring is believed to be yellow pine, and floors 1 and 2 are an intricate pattern of hardwoods. As you walk in the front glass door with leaded etching you enter the grand foyer. To go left you walk into an incredible parlor with rich wood panels, an original fireplace. Entry to the parlor is made through a beveled glass pocket door, and another glass pocket door gives access to the large formal dinning room. The kitchen has been enlarged and is approximately 50% complete, and is on the back of the home. The entire .8 acre property is surrounded by 6’ iron fence on 3 sides, and a wood privacy fence on the back of the property. There are two koi ponds that have large goldfish in them now. The pump system is not operating. The grounds need cleaning up, but there are large mature trees throughout. There are paved paths through the grounds to the corner gazebo and “party house”. The party house was constructed in the early 80’s to exactly duplicate the styler of the main house. There is a full bath in this house, a crystal French chandelier reported to cost over $45,000 when purchased, and a couple lights from Tiffany’s over the full bar. With the expansive grounds, gazebo and party house this property has hosted many small weddings and corporate events in the past. There is a pool behind the house in need of a full repair. This property needs rehab, but most of the big items like new electrical and plumbing have need installed, bathrooms plumbed in, but incredible woodwork in great shape. The party house does need a lot of work but is beautiful. The garage is made in a carriage house style and was built to park vintage car length of the time, so may be too short for most modern vehicles. There is an automatic iron gate and brick driveway to the carriage house garage. This property would make a great family dream home, destination VRBO, or an entertainment venue for weddings, corporate fund raisers, etc. Come check in out and see if this could be your dream home.
