Coming into the spacious 2 story foyer of this English-style storybook home with its beamed volume ceiling, handcrafted wooden staircase, going up the steps to the 2nd flor balcony, your will almost feel the presence of Bill Caton, who designed and built this home in 1929. Caton, well-known architect (in his day) designed homes in many more states than Kansas. This 4 bedroom/2 bath home's beautiful original hardwood floors and millwork are impressive! Built in 1929 the home's present kitchen/family room was a later addition. Living room w/ fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen/family room with sliding door access to patio, bedroom (or could be office), and bath are on the main floor. Master bedroom w/ large walk-in closet, 2 more bedrooms and bath are on the 2nd floor. Laundry, mechanical, and storage are in the basement where much of the ceiling is concrete making it a safe place to be in stormy weather. A dream workshop/garage (30 x 30) with space for 2 cars has alley access from College Street. A storage shed is nearby for garden tools, etc. A carport-like roof, on the west side o the home, not part of the original design, provides closer protected parking for your car. And the longer driveway to west side of home offers good off-street parking. Located off College Street this home is close to the rec center, library, Southwestern College, and the Winfield Plaza. If you are looking for a historic home for your new-home-to-be, this in one you should see.
