The sellers moved into this quad level home about 32 years ago. Their children then were in grade school, middle school, and high school. The house fit their needs all those years with their growing children throughout their school years and changing social occasions. And as their grandchildren came along, the house seemed to expand to accommodate everyone during their many visits. They loved the lake in the back and open area behind, which is maintained by the homeowner’s association (mowing, edging, and tree trimming). The association completed dredging the north lake two years ago and the dredging on the south lake behind our house is about halfway done. The work is done in late winter and early spring each year. The Canadian geese come for winter in mid-October and leave for the summer in mid-March. They have had other wildlife including deer and turkeys come through the commons area at various times. A variety of area birds always loved the birdfeeders and birdbaths. The house has hosted many get-togethers and BBQs in the backyard and the commons area seen many football and soccer games, and kite flying. They enjoyed walks in this quiet neighborhood and the friendly neighbors. They have maintained the house and addressed issues as soon as they arose as the house aged. The kitchen and dining room were remodeled and updated with new cabinets and Corian Quartz composite counter tops in 2010. Pella windows with the blinds inside have been installed throughout the years in all, but the two basement windows. The latest Pella replacement was the living room picture window in 2022. The family room, stairs, and master bedroom had new carpet and paint in 2023. The wood deck was replaced with TREX decking material. The siding has been replaced and the wood fencing was replaced with metal. The foundation on three sides have been supported by piers inside and outside to combat the clay soil on this side of Wichita (2013, 2017, 2023). A Class 4 hail resistant roof was installed in 2018. It has been a well-maintained home just waiting for a new owner to make new memories.
