About this home
Immaculate with a capital “I,” this home is a rare find, in unbelievable condition! Custom built and still owned by the original owners since 1990; this beautiful residence has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over the years. With the sellers’ background in wood restoration and preservation, the quality and care are evident in every detail. This is truly a home designed for easy living, all the updates done, leaving nothing for the new owner but to enjoy. Set on a private half-acre lot in the Maize school district, the property combines everyday convenience with room to relax and entertain. The extended concrete drive, spacious garage with epoxied floors and built-in cabinets, and a 14x12 shed with electricity provide exceptional storage and functionality—including RV parking with a wrought iron double gate offering open access to the backyard. This setup competes with any three-car garage! Major upgrades in recent years include new Smart Board siding, new windows, interior and exterior paint, professionally retextured ceilings, high-grade carpet, five-inch hickory plank wood floors, remodeled bathrooms & kitchen, newer A/C and water heater, and a Class 4 impact-resistant roof installed in 2021. Virtually maintenance-free! Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a main-level layout designed for both comfort and style. The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops, enamel-painted cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, pantry with pullout drawers, back-lit glass display cabinets, and brand-new stainless-steel appliances (2023). The adjoining living room features a gas fireplace framed by windows and opens to two dining areas (formal and informal), creating a warm and welcoming space. The primary suite includes an oversized walk-in closet, coffered ceilings, accent paint, lovely backyard views, and an updated bathroom with granite countertops, a separate tub, and a like-new glass door tile shower. Main-floor laundry with washer and dryer included! The finished basement provides an expansive extension of living space with a 33x20 family and recreation room, gas fireplace with stone hearth, fourth bedroom, third remodeled bathroom, and additional finished area perfect for a playroom, wine room, or hobby space. Stylish stairwell carpeting and wrought iron balusters tie the lower level seamlessly to the main floor. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a 19x19 covered deck and 22x12 flagstone patio—perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings. The backyard is designed to be both beautiful and low maintenance, featuring an irrigation well, sprinkler system, perennial landscaping, solar lighting, mature trees, and a generous vegetable garden with irrigation. Whether entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful setting, it’s all easily within reach without the burden of constant upkeep. Out front, don’t miss the clean, established landscaping, decorative rock, and attractive concrete flower bed edging system that doubles as a weed barrier. Located near shopping, highways, Sedgwick County Park, grocery stores, and churches, this home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle of convenience, comfort, and low-maintenance enjoyment. No HOA, No Specials! The sellers are also offering for sale a majority of their furnishings, making this an even easier transition into a home that is fully ready for its next chapter. Hurry! This beauty won't last!
