About this home

This charming Victorian home has been thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its historic character. The renovation begins with the covered porch, featuring a wood ceiling, new railing, outdoor ceiling fan, and new walkway and stairs modeled after an old photograph of the home in its original state. A complete 2023 kitchen remodel preserves the essence of this 1909 home while adding the convenience of a luxury kitchen, including new light fixtures, solid wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, upgraded hardware, porcelain tile floors, butcherblock countertops, and an expanded pantry with main-level laundry space. The home highlights its graceful curves with arched entryways leading to the living room, where mother-of-pearl tile surrounds the fireplace, and to a spacious formal dining room. Colorful original stained-glass details at the front door and sidelights add even more charm. The original wood floors throughout the home have been professionally restored. The back deck has also been fully renovated, enhancing the lovely, fenced backyard and quaint brick-paved patio. Additional improvements include updated plumbing, added insulation, and professional tuckpointing of the foundation and brickwork. Best of all is the location: this property sits in historic Volker, the heart of the West 39th Street area, with restaurants, coffee shops, KU Med, bars, unique retail shops, ice cream, and vintage stores all within a short walk.
