Yesterday inspires this two-story, loaded with charm!

     Indulge your interests and call Molly today to make an appointment to view this newly listed two-story from the early 1900’s. The seller has stated that this home was the original Thomas County Courthouse…a little bit of nostalgia.

    This traditional home offers large windows, high ceilings and wide wood trim. As you walk into the front door the entry foyer will greet you with the wood staircase to the second level of the home. The entry foyer is a perfect place to place a church bench or Mission table full of family pictures and mementos.

    One nice thing about homes from the early 1900s is that the rooms flow one into the other. The formal living room/sitting room opens directly into the formal dining room or a room that can be converted into a more informal family area. The large windows that wrap the exterior walls of the rooms bring the outside indoors.  The park is located directly across the street and you will love the views. These rooms offer plenty of floor space, allowing you to place your treasured antique pieces or modern day reproductions.  It doesn’t matter if it’s grandma’s pie pantry, stately Windsor chairs, or Aunt Emma’s secretary…this home is the perfect showcase for antiques.

     The kitchen is delightful! There is so much that you can do to create a room that guests will want to linger in. The freshly painted Sunflower yellow walls trimmed in white, plus the pristine white open front cabinetry is the perfect combination to make a French country-style kitchen come alive in Colby, Kansas.  Just adding lace fabric or gingham treatment draped across the cabinet fronts, can be the touch that becomes the decorative finish. A charming breakfast nook off the kitchen offers large windows with views of the rear yard. This is a kitchen you will have fun in, especially decorating.

     There are five bedrooms in this home. One of the bedrooms is located on the main floor and if not needed as a bedroom could become your library full of book shelves loaded with favorite novels and your overstuffed “comfy” chair…a room you escape into.

     We shouldn’t be afraid of color. The seller’s keen eye for color has transformed this tired two-story home into a vibrant showplace.  The use of color in the second story not only makes each room come alive, but it gives the home distinction to be different. One of the bedrooms has the original floral vinyl centered in the room with the wood floor planks framing it. The seller felt it might be nice to allow a buyer to utilize this piece of “home” history that can’t be reproduced…you might have fun with this room.

    The home is situated on a corner lot with a detached two-car garage that features an adjoining area that could be used as a workshop.

A family-friendly home with lots of space…don’t overlook checking out this old-time, newly-listed treasure!
