Listing details for 130 S Front St, Salina, KS 67401 : Historic 1911 Neo-Classical Home on the Smoky Hill River- Step into a piece of living history with this striking 1911 Neo-Classical residence, where timeless architecture meets a rich and colorful past. Showcasing three impressive stories, this home features original woodwork and hardwood floors throughout most of the interior—details that simply can’t be replicated. The main level offers both a front parlor just off the grand entry foyer—highlighted by an original leaded glass window—and a spacious back parlor/family room complete with a woodburning fireplace, creating warm and inviting spaces for gathering and entertaining. With over 2,900 square feet including a finished third-floor attic, the home includes 5+ bedrooms and three and a half baths. The second floor features a charming sitting room that opens to a front balcony, offering a perfect place to relax and take in the surroundings. Situated on an oversized lot backing directly to the Smoky Hill River, the property offers a rare blend of historic charm and serene natural beauty. Originally built by the Carlin Family in 1911, this home carries notable historical significance. It was later owned by the Schwarz family, known for Lee Hardware. Over the years, the property has lived many lives—including a chapter as a halfway house—before being thoughtfully restored to a single-family residence in the early 1990s. While the home could benefit from some TLC, its solid construction, full basement, and preserved architectural character present an incredible opportunity to restore and personalize a truly unique property. This is more than just a home—it’s a chance to own a distinctive piece of history with endless potential.
