5 Circle Dr, Newton, KS 67114

Americana at its best! A Gracious mid-century home in the Oak Wood edition on “The Circle”! Ahead of its time, this home was built with a split floor plan consisting of 3 bedrooms, two full baths and two car side load garage. The property is approximately 1.5 acres and embodies the home really well from the curb. Enjoy all the seasons, and the view from the front porch…it is just too beautiful to describe and is a must see in person! Stepping inside the front door you will notice the authenticity of the home, with a touch of modern updates. New paint, flooring, fixtures throughout and the ceilings have been brought back to the original flat finish which allows the natural light to saturate the interior, bringing the open floor plan to life. Some of the light fixtures are original and have been rewired. All LED lighting installed this year. Looking outward, such large windows grants magnificent views of the yard. Towering oak trees and wildlife fill the view…it makes 2,134 square feet on the main floor feel like a steal. A larger than normal front room holds a gas fireplace that will knock off the chill of any cold fall or winter night. The dining room transitions well from the front room to kitchen and can accommodate a large expandable leaf table for the holidays and gatherings, with room to spare for a china hutch. To the right of the dining room is the kitchen filled with Becker cabinets and an island to match. All cabinets in the home are built by Becker. This part of the home was added onto in the late 90’s and extends the kitchen into a nice sized family room with wonderful views of the back yard. Also, this addition has a basement room under it that is completely finished, with an egress window. This area has multiple uses: possible 4th bedroom (with no closet), office, theater room or nice size storage room. More important, this area underground gives you shelter from the Kansas storms. The entire home was re-plumbed (manifold system) at this time as well. A laundry area sits between the kitchen and garage and flows really well with more Becker cabinets and a counter for folding laundry and a landing area just inside from the garage. The bedrooms are roomy for this era…kings and queens (beds) are welcomed here and the closets (with built ins) hold more than anyone can imagine. One of the bathrooms sits between the bedrooms and has an abundance of cabinets, full mirrored double sink, solid surface vanity, with multiple luxuries: lighted fan, heater/vent and heated tile floor. The bathroom on the other side of the home is really functional in its placement… it sits off the stand alone bedroom and is close to the kitchen and garage. It has ample cabinet space, updated tile, glass and tile walls for the shower. So it works really well on this side of the home. The attic has easy access from pull down stairs with hand rails and is floored the entire length of the home. A new attic fan with thermostat was installed this year to regulate the temperature and humidity. This area would make for an easy addition to the home if one desired. A dormer or two in the roofline and you’re in business for more living area. This area is large and open and works well for a storage area at this time. The roof was replaced approx. 6 years ago and was re-decked at that time. The backyard is like having your own private park! As you step outside from the French doors in the kitchen/family room to the patio, you will find more huge oak trees and a large 20’ x 40’ in-ground saltwater pool complete with 8’ deep end and diving board. Pool is equipped with an auto cover to aid in pool maintenance and safety. Moreover, the mechanicals of the the cover were maintenance this summer while a new vinyl cover was installed. There are multiple areas for your favorite patio furniture and the entire back yard is fenced. This home was built by John & Cora McCuish in 1950 and can be a part of the historical Registry if you want. Call your REALTOR today!
