801 SE 5th St Newton, KS 67114

Listing details for 801 SE 5th St, Newton, KS 67114 : Own a piece of Newton history! This gorgeous four bedroom three full bath home was re-built in 2016, with high-quality finishes throughout! When this home was purchased by the previous owners, they decided they wanted to gut it and start over. Once they tore into it, they realized it was framed using two 40' railroad box cars! This was the beginning of understanding the history behind this home. The cars date back to the 1800's. After seeing what they were dealing with, they decided to completely draw up new plans and build an entire house around the two box cars. Embracing the uniqueness of the home they decided to showcase the box cars throughout the main floor. As you approach the home, you will notice it has been professionally landscaped by a local company. You have three decks on this home, one on every entry point. All the decks were built with composite boards so they'll last a very long time and are low maintenance. As you enter the home, it's like candy to the eye, there is so much to appreciate! Beginning with the beautiful hardwood floors to the open ceiling and walls exposing the beauty and raw character, yet cozy feel of the box car. They have managed to preserve the old while implementing all of the modern accessories and features. You'll appreciate the open floor plan, and notice the wood blinds throughout. The kitchen is just beyond the living room and it offers an eat-in dining area, an eating bar, granite countertops, top of the line cabinets with slow closing drawers, stainless steel appliances with a gas stove! The kitchen is stunning! There is also a sliding glass door leading to the back deck. There is nothing standard to this home, and you will immediately experience this when you see all of the over-sized bedrooms. You have two on the main floor along with a hall bath. The hall bath has a granite top and ceramic tile in the shower/tub. On the other side of the home, you have a main floor laundry room along with another full bath with a granite top and ceramic tile. Just beyond the laundry room, you have a foyer with a door leading to another deck. In the foyer, you will also find the stairway to the upstairs. You'll love the shiplap used on the walls, which gives it a rustic yet classy look. Upstairs you will find two massive bedrooms with a Jack-N-Jill style full bath. Each room has a walk-in closet, wood floors, and canned lighting. The bathroom has ceramic tile floors, an onyx style top, and a jetted tub! You also have an RO system along with a water softener, dimmable LED recessed lighting, outdoor water spickets and power on all four sides of the house. There is a two-car detached garage which has a 220, and the storage shed with a loft. All of this on a corner lot in a quiet neighborhood. You will never find another property like this! This is a one of a kind that will absolutely be a wonderful home for years to come.
