2407 Road J5 , Americus, KS 66835(Lyon County)

This stunning residence received a full remodel in 2003 when the addition was constructed, doubling the overall living square footage while preserving the original history, integrity, and craftsmanship. The home now boasts a full 3,216 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and all the upgrades one could ever dream of! Downstairs, open living space flows from one room to the next with ample space to entertain. The sprawling kitchen is complete with endless cabinets and countertop space with seating around the extended bar area. Just off of the kitchen is the full dining room with a custom-built buffet. The family room offers great space and has a corn/pellet stove which sets a perfect winter ambiance or supplemental heat source. Walking through the double slide pocket doors into the parlor, one sits back and appreciates the detailed finishes from the original hardwood floors, vintage lighting, fixtures, baseboards, and trim details, and even the original front doorbell. All of the original 1917 trim came from a mill in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, and is the same trim and craftsmanship displayed throughout William Allen White’s home, Red Rock. All the natural lighting throughout the entire home is incredible illumining the finest details. The main floor bedroom is just off the parlor along with a spacious main floor laundry room and full bathroom off the kitchen and backdoor entry. The upstairs has received the same attention to detail and custom features as the main level and is completed with a master bedroom with ample closet space, a full walk-in and 2 additional linens, and a spacious bathroom with double vanity, makeup vanity, full shower, and oversized soaker tub that overlooks some of the most beautiful views. The 2nd en-suite includes a full bathroom and sitting area, providing the perfect space for an office or study. The 4th bedroom is just off from the master.

Outside, relax the days away on the nearly full wrap-around porch that overlooks the piped fenced corral area to the entire yard and shop. Sunrises and sunsets are a never-missed opportunity here! Mature trees throughout, along with lilac and butterfly bushes and endless perennials that are thriving throughout, wrapping the residence. Enjoy a soak in the new 6-seat hot tub sitting just outside from the mudroom/laundry room entrance.

The 30’x40’ shop is fully insulated with 2 overhead doors, full concrete floors, utilities, and a wood-burning stove. The 2 additional agriculture barns offer endless opportunities for livestock and equipment storage with fenced-off turnout areas. Livestock wash bay outside of the 45’x60’ barn. A separate driveway entrance allows one to drive in and out with ease.

The 8 acres of well-maintained bromegrass has been hayed annually producing 25-30 round bales and 450-500 square bales and could easily be fenced off and turned into additional grazing acres. The 4 acres of native bluestem grass is fully fenced with piped fenced frontage and 2 sets of double swing gates.

With all the history this farm holds, then pairing the detailed remodel and build, along with all the outbuildings, acres, and location, this property is one for the books and is one to tour in person to appreciate all it is!
