This captivating urban oasis sits on a wooded ½-acre lot just five blocks from the University of Kansas. The flower-lined walkway leads to a fenced flagstone patio with a vibrant waterfall feature, elevated flowerbeds, and an impressive 12-foot wind sculpture. Inside, the entry opens to a stunning two-story foyer with rounded walls. The kitchen features granite countertops, an expansive peninsula, upscale European cabinetry, oak flooring, and a distinctive oak ceiling. A walk-in pantry and appliance closet provide storage next to the garage. The formal dining room is highlighted by a rounded end wall, and the main-level study offers custom oak shelving. The sun-filled living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, an entertainment center, high windows, and a wet bar with lighted glass shelving, mini-fridge, and ice-maker. The kitchen opens to a three-story solarium with a glass ceiling and automated insulated panels. The panels open to capture winter sunlight and close at night or on cloudy days to prevent heat loss. Brick floors over a 9-inch concrete base provide thermal storage for passive solar heating. A three-story spiral staircase connects all levels, however, another convenient staircase is located at the front of the house. Upstairs, the Primary ensuite features a cedar ceiling, walk-in closet, cedar bookshelves, veranda, and two new skylights with shades and dual sinks, separate shower, tub, toilet, and bidet. Two bedrooms each include a ladder-accessed loft and newly replaced skylights with solar-powered blackout shades. A fourth bedroom has a shaded skylight, a winter closet (some cedar lined), and an exercise room (non-climate controlled) over the garage. Also upstairs is a convenient laundry room with cabinets, folding counter, and laundry basin. The lower-level features a vitalizing infrared sauna with adjacent shower, an entertainment area with 65” TV and built-in shelving, and a wet bar with full-size refrigerator, wine rack, and sink. Also included are a tiled recreation room, a full bath, and an ample storage area with shelving. The lower level opens to an 8-person Hot Springs spa and a 35-foot Trex deck, complete with Trex stairs leading down to the wooded backyard, where you’ll find a cozy firepit beside the creek.
