Rural Lyon County, KS Home
Situated just south of Reading, Kansas, you’ll love this 1915 farmhouse on 35 +/- Acres. The views of the Kansas scenery out here are incredible! This 1,752 square feet house features 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms, a partial basement, large kitchen and living room, and 2 barns. If you’ve been looking for a place in the country, you won’t want to miss this one.
The expansive windows to the east in the first floor master bedroom provide a great of beautiful landscape and sunrises. The master bedroom and bathroom have been updated in the past with bamboo being present in the master bath and well as the 1/2 bath found in the hallway. The expansive living room/dining room combination is perfect for gathering or entertaining guests. The French doors out to the patio are right off the living room, making it easy to combine the indoors and outdoors. The sizeable kitchen brings the timeless charm we all look for in an old farmhouse. The ample cabinet storage, built in-pantry, and wrap-around counter all provide a great space to prepare meals or sit and chat.
Upstairs, you will find 2 more bedrooms, a full bathroom and multiple storage options! From the wooden trim to the original hardwood floor remaining in some places, you’ll enjoy the cozy comfort found up there.
The partially finished basement offers an additional place for entertainment or a home office. There is an additional room which could be used for a nonconforming bedroom. The laundry room also houses the hot water heater and HVAC. If you like to can vegetables or are looking for a storm shelter, there is a room just off the stairs which would make a perfect option for either.
Outside, the views on the south side of the house overlook the beautiful slope of the land and a fantastic 1 +/- acre pond! The mature trees offer plenty of shade on a sunny day. Along with the gorgeous views from the top of the hill, there is so much potential for adding even more appeal to the large yard.
There are 2 nice-sized barns. The large pole barn has electrical already in place and could be converted into pens or used for equipment storage. The attached tack room provides an option for your tack or cattle supplies. The smaller barn has double sliding doors, concrete floor, electric and a 220 plug for welding.
The location is also great with an approximate 20 minute drive to Emporia, access to the Kansas turnpike within 15 miles and about 10 minutes to I-35.
