About this home

The old adage "looks can be deceiving" has never rang more true than with this amazing new listing just across the river in Elwood, KS. What appears to be "a cute, little ranch home" is anything but. Cute, yes. Little, no. At just over 2,000 sq ft up and another +/- 1,200 sq ft down, you'll have room to spare. Sitting on 1.24 acres, this brick and metal siding home features two spacious living areas, an eat-in kitchen with pantry, 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. Just one foot in the door and you'll see how meticulously maintained it's been. And the updates list goes on and on... HVAC, water heater, carpet, appliances, steel fence, insulation, washer/dryer hookups in the attached 2-car garage with newer door and opener. A detached insulated 2-car garage with concrete floors brings your total garage bays to 4. The centerpiece of the home is a wood-burning fireplace with enormous brick hearth and two built-in log storage spaces. Large bay windows provide lots of natural light. And when you step outside, you won't believe your luck -- a 1.24 acre yard flanked by mature trees, two huge pines and farm fields beyond. Soon your family and friends will be enjoying sunny days on the fun deck/gazebo combo. On cooler evenings, you'll all gather around one of two fire pits. A spic-n-span, unfinished basement accessed through the garage provides all the extra storage or hobby space you could ask for. If you need to live near Rosecrans Airport, this location simply can't be beat. But quick access to Hwy 36 puts you on the road in just minutes for your commute to St. Joseph or beyond. For convenience, Elwood now boasts a dollar store, hardware store, gas station, restaurant and new physical rehab hospital. Run, don't walk -- before this one gets away.
