About this home
Step inside and explore the story of one of Herington's historic homes. Built around 1881, this is more than just an old house — it's confirmed to be the former home of Monroe D. Herington himself, the man the city was named after. Owning it means owning a real piece of the town's earliest history, and the best part is you don't have to sacrifice comfort to do it. The home has been thoughtfully updated over the years without losing what makes it special. On the main level you'll find updated electrical with a newer panel, rewiring through much of the house, and all-new plumbing, plus a tankless water heater for modern efficiency. The kitchen and bathrooms have been refreshed with a clean, neutral look that lets the home's original character shine rather than compete with it. And that character is everywhere — tall ceilings, oversized windows, natural light pouring in, and generously sized rooms that reflect the kind of craftsmanship you just don't see in newer construction. It's a home that respects its past while quietly delivering everything today's buyers expect. Herington offers small-town peace with easy access to the bigger picture: Fort Riley is about 33 miles away, Manhattan and K-State are roughly 42 miles out, and Wichita is around 75 miles down the road. So you get the quiet, plus the convenience....
