About this home

Situated on a double lot in the heart of the Overland Park area, this remarkable 1862 two-story home is a true piece of Midwest history. Built before the Civil War and believed to be one of the few remaining homes of its kind in the area, this property offers timeless character, historic charm, and an opportunity that simply cannot be replicated. The original home reflects authentic pre-Civil War craftsmanship with its classic two-story design, featuring two upstairs bedrooms and a main-level bath. Over the years, an additions expanded the home to include two additional rooms, both with closets and windows off the back of the property, creating flexible living space while preserving the home’s historic soul. The larger lot provides room to garden, entertain, expand, or simply enjoy the privacy and open space rarely found with historic homes. A detached garage adds convenience and functionality to this one-of-a-kind offering. Whether you are a history enthusiast, preservationist, or simply someone searching for a home with a story to tell, this iconic property stands as a rare reminder of Kansas’ early beginnings and the enduring beauty of true historic architecture.
