Stately 1918 Colonial Meets Modern Living
Elegance, timeless craftsmanship, and modern function come together in this extraordinary 1918 Colonial, thoughtfully restored to preserve its original character while providing the comfort and convenience of today. With approximately 4,104 square feet of living space, this remarkable home offers gracious rooms, exceptional architectural detail, and an abundance of space for everyday living and entertaining. The living room is a true showpiece, featuring an elegant coffered ceiling with rich, dark-stained wood beams, intricate crown molding, and a beautifully restored gas fireplace with new logs and tile surround. A beautiful sunroom extends from the living room, its entrance framed by two sets of elegant French doors. Throughout the home, original craftsmanship and character have been carefully preserved, including the stunning hardwood floors and architectural details that give this residence its distinctive charm. Generous 9- to 10-foot ceilings throughout much of the home enhance the sense of scale and grandeur. The cherry kitchen is equally impressive, featuring granite countertops, a marble subway-tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, slate tile flooring, and a remarkable Victorian-era embossed tin ceiling. A spacious breakfast area and walk-in pantry add both charm and functionality. The first floor also offers a generous laundry/storage area with room for appliances and additional storage, along with a convenient shower. A mudroom and coat closet are located just off the rear entrance, with additional temperature-controlled, floored storage space above. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite provides a private retreat with its own gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a beautifully appointed full bath. Two additional bedrooms and a guest bath complete the second floor. The third floor offers an exceptional private guest suite, complete with a spacious bedroom/living area, its own bathroom, generous closet/storage areas, and zoned HVAC-an ideal arrangement for overnight guests, extended family, or a private retreat. A partial basement provides clean, useful storage space and houses the home's mechanical systems, including the furnace and water heater and is a naturally suitable space for wine and beverage storage. Significant improvements include a new 200-amp electrical system, all-new windows, refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, updated lighting, and professionally completed restoration work. The home has been thoughtfully updated while retaining the craftsmanship, proportions, and architectural character that make historic homes so special. Outside, the property includes an oversized detached two-car garage built in 2005, providing excellent space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or workshop use. Professionally landscaped and an underground sprinkler system keep lawn green year-round. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Chanute's truly distinctive historic residences-a home where timeless architectural beauty, thoughtful restoration, and modern livability come together. Showings are available to pre-qualified buyers.
