Description

Own a ONE-OF-A-KIND piece of KANSAS HISTORY! This retired TRAIN DEPOT has been meticulously restored and transformed into a wonderfully captivating home. Once owned by the Santa Fe and Frisco Railroads, this residence was moved from Valley Center to Hillsboro and set on just over an acre - formerly the location of the historical Cresswell one-room schoolhouse. Thoughtful renovations to honor its roots began in 2008. Period appropriate paint colors were chosen, the soaring 12 ft ceilings were reinstated, and authentic materials were used throughout. Among these are the original, reclaimed beaded porch board and original graffiti marked wood from the depot’s freight room. The attention to detail is amazing! The beadboard was carefully removed piece by piece to allow for the modern upgrades such as insulation and new wiring before it was reinstalled. Modern updates during the renovation also include the roof, HVAC, plumbing, windows and electrical, as well as flooring, fixtures and modern comforts. Additionally, the original storm cellar was completely rebuilt to serve as a small unfinished basement for shelter and housing other amenities. Connecting the house and garage, the screened porch just begs you to sit and stay. Views from the kitchen table are breathtaking! Floor to ceiling windows showcase the unparalleled Kansas sunsets and open fields. Perfect for entertaining! Delight your guests with fascinating details of the past while enjoying the surrounding beauty from your newly stained deck. The wooded acreage is lined with mature trees that provide a wind block and as a bonus, are fruit producing! Homemade pie? The over-sized, insulated and heated garage will impress any hobbyist or handyman. Need more space? No problem. There are 2 extra-large, double carports and a secure storage shed. Enjoy all the perks of country living and convenience! Easily accessible in any weather, the home sits just off a paved county road, is connected to Rural Water and has a BRAND-NEW septic. With Hillsboro just a few minutes away, Newton only 15 miles down the road and a quick 45 to Wichita, the location is ideal. With a story as rich as its history, this property is truly a rarity you will likely never find again. Call your favorite agent today and don’t miss out on this gem!Show Description
