About this home

Where European farmhouse meets the great outdoors of west Shawnee at 7531 Chouteau St. Welcome to the original Bichelmeyer homestead—reimagined for todays homesteader, hobby farmer, nature lover, or weekend escape artist. This rare 6.39-acre property in the heart of Shawnee offers integrity and charm you can’t build anymore. The 1915 two-story farmhouse blends decades of original character with purposeful updates: board and batten siding, an asphalt driveway, brand-new Eljin gravity flow septic system, and newly cored dam. Inside you'll find fresh paint, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, dual HVAC, public water with purifier, and a recreation room over the 2-car garage—perfect for movie nights, hobbies, or that home office with a view. Cannonball into your shared 2-acre pond—with a newly cored dam and nearly ready for stocking, it's your personal swimming hole (Kayaks included) and fishing spot. Gather under the stars at the fire pit or soak in the hot tub after a long day. Start your mornings on the new screened & covered deck, with coffee in hand and the sounds of nature. Garden beds are waiting, bring your own chickens—there’s room for coops, bees, and whatever farm-to-table dream you’re chasing. The acreage is fenced, wildlife is abundant, and the outbuilding allows for storage, tools, or toys. You'll feel worlds away—but you're just minutes from grocery stores, award-winning schools, dining, and shopping. Acreage. Charm. No HOA. Sellers paid for a whole home inspection to ensure zero surprises. If you’ve been waiting for a home on land that feels like your very own piece of Kansas history— this is it!
