Property Description
Timeless Elegance Meets Historic Craftsmanship – 1421 N. Park Place, Wichita, KS 67203 Step into a rare piece of Wichita's rich architectural history with this stunning mansion located in the heart of Midtown. Built in 1889, this remarkable home has only had four owners in its 136-year history—a testament to its enduring charm and meticulous care. Originally designed in the Queen Anne Victorian style, the home was gracefully updated in the early 1900s with a Classical Revival façade, blending old-world character with timeless elegance. From the thick, cut, leaded beveled glass in the entry foyer to the exquisite woodwork untouched by modern paint, this home is a celebration of craftsmanship from a bygone era. Offering 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, the interior is spacious yet intimate, with rich detailing that includes original millwork, oak hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings. The original oak floors also extend to the 2nd floor, which is partially carpeted now. This residence has never fallen into disrepair, with continuous documented ownership and stewardship that spans generations. The current owners have lovingly maintained and preserved its grandeur since 1987. Outdoors, the stunningly landscaped grounds are perfect for entertaining or peaceful reflection. A true highlight is the four-car garage/shop, thoughtfully added in the 1987 with modern HVAC and a half bath, designed to complement the home and the original carriage house. The carriage house, complete with the charming hayloft door and large sliding barn doors, offers a beautiful nod to the property's historic roots. Included with the home are the original pieces of the Victorian Widow's Walk, currently stored and preserved in the carriage house, ready to be restored by its next owner. Featured on historic Midtown walking tours, this is not just a home—it's a Wichita landmark. Whether you're a lover of architecture, history, or simply want to own one of the most iconic homes in the city, 1421 N. Park Place offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of living history.
