911 8th St, Baldwin City, KS 66006

The best of both worlds is a theme for this home! Enjoy the ease of living in the small, historic community of Baldwin City, Kansas, yet be close enough to the city for short work commutes and easy access to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Located just 30 minutes from south Kansas City (1 hour to MCI airport), 40 minutes to Topeka, and 15 minutes to Lawrence, Baldwin City offers residents access and tranquility. Just imagine...quality schools and safe streets for the kids to roam, quiet and friendly neighborhoods, very little traffic, and quaint downtown coffee shops, cafes, businesses, and community events, located just a short walk away! The home is also the best of both worlds! Traditional, well-built, turn-of-the 20th century home meets modern-day style and amenities. For those who appreciate the fine craftsmanship of older homes, this home has well stood the test of time and is adorned in the original, unpainted, wood trim and hardwood floors throughout. Each room has been updated with today's style in mind, while also keeping with the essence of the home's roots. Lighting fixtures, faucets, plumbing systems, and electrical boxes have all been replaced or updated to modernize and keep the home in good working order, the roof will be BRAND NEW!; and stainless steel appliances are included in the newly remodeled kitchen. While this house is considered a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, there is a bonus room that could be used as a non-conforming bedroom, playroom, or office space. While having a solid, updated home is important, it only scratches the surface to what this home has to offer! Located just two blocks from the historic downtown - complete with a bakery/cafe, coffee shop, an old-time barber shop, and restaurants - this home is ground zero for all the fun events and that small-town charm Baldwin has to offer. But at home is where peace and tranquility are truly felt, and here, you can find it in any number of places: drinking coffee or iced tea on the front porch daybed swing as you read a good book or chat with neighbors out for their daily stroll; lounging in the sun on the back deck; recharging with the Earth in the many gardens; a BBQ with friends while relaxing fireside on the patio; or a soak at the end of the day in a luxurious, soak tub! Opportunities to make life-long memories meets simple, peaceful living...truly...the best of both worlds! Happy to work with a Buyer's Agent or we can negotiate with you personally.
