Located in the historically famous Potwin neighborhood, this 1886 Victorian style home possesses astounding character. As you arrive you are greeted with a feeling of times past. Prominent on a corner lot, you'll enjoy exquisite exterior detail highlighted by six colors, and one of the largest native pecan trees in KS. A huge covered front porch (think porch swing), original unique front door, second story porch and an ornate iron fence are first impression features. Mature landscaping with perennial and native plants produces blooms all summer. Inside you will discover original stained glass windows, Lincusta wall paper imported from England, porcelain and brass door knobs/hardware, copper-colored radiators, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a stunning working fireplace. A new kitchen and renovated bathrooms complement the Victorian style. For over 30 years, this home has been meticulously rehabilitated by its current owner, paying respect to its historical past. Fun fact! Nicknamed "The Honeymoon House,” Frank Wear originally had the home built in 1886 for his fiancé. It was their first home when they married in January 1887. The house is listed as a contributing influence in the National and State Historic Registers as part of the District that is Potwin Place. This qualifies for Kansas Historic Preservation Income Tax credits.
