302 College St Winfield, KS 67156

Listing details for 302 College St, Winfield, KS 67156 : "The Brown Bungalow", built in 1904 and so named by designer/builders Robert and Edith Dunlevy is believed to have been influenced by their friend, Frank Lloyd Wright. Several characteristics in the house attest to this legend. Second owners of the house, Norman and Roxy Callison, have restored and renovated the dwelling over the last forty years with the integrity of the original architectural style in mind. Features such as 3 gas fireplaces, abundant flat pine woodwork, built in buffet and china cupboard, built in benches, storage nooks, and bookshelves abound throughout the 2961 square feet of the home. The thirteen year old KG Day kitchen includes 3 work levels, 2 sinks with disposals, a Kitchenaide refrigerator, a Jenn Aire cook top, and built in oven. This great room has an Idaho quartzite floor, herringbone wood ceiling, native fieldstone fireplace, and is built around a Black Walnut tree trunk. A gravity flow furnace heats the older portion of the building while the new part has central heat and air. A whole house attic fan is located near the 3 bedrooms of the original structure as well. These rooms and the bath near them are the only carpeted ones in the house. Two of the fireplaces are located on top of one another in this original part of the bungalow. The fourth bedroom has an engineered hardwood floor and bath. Two half round stained glass windows and 3 paintings done by Edith Dunlevy will remain with the house. The garage needs attention and updating, although it and a small shed both have the same 11 year old slate look fiberglass cement shingles as the roof of the house. All have wood shingle siding. The property is located within walking distance of the library, the fitness center, the hospital, an elementary school, the middle and high schools, and a myriad of cultural and sporting activities at Southwestern College.
