Description

This gorgeous 1887 mansion with many stained-glass windows and chandeliers, has an incredible history related to the start of telephone and electricity. It has recently been lavishly restored and opened as a Bed & Breakfast Inn. Guests have been ecstatic about the accomodations and the friendliness of the Owner and the Manager. Whether you buy this beautiful home as a business or a residence, you will find a happy, peaceful existence in this large home of 5 oversized bedrooms which include a master suite the size of a small apartment. There is a beautiful sunroom, that looks out over the swimming pool and large, in-ground jacuzzi. Fantastic settings for weddings and parties. Furnishings accompany the home, and the Owner & Manager will stay, if the opportunity is available to continue running it as a B&B. The surrounding community has been thrilled that the home has been opened, for the first time, for the public to tour. Tours are at $10/person. The attic area can be finished to provide an open living space of another 1500 sq. ft.
It is a part of the Naroma Court Historic District, which is on the National Register of historic places. This is the town where Dwight Eisenhower grew up and there is a lot of Old West history here as well as the Eisenhower Research Library. There are about 45 historic mansions and homes, on a 1.5 hour walking tour which includes this home. The town is very clean and friendly and it is an idyllic place, in the midst of Kansas, to raise children.
Please call to speak to Marcia Cox, the owner. (719)287-1329
