Updated 1932 Home with Original Character & Modern Efficiency Built in 1932, this distinctive two-story home offers the warmth and craftsmanship of an earlier era while incorporating significant updates for modern comfort and efficiency. With 1,819 sq. ft. of living space, four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a 1,064 sq. ft. unfinished poured-concrete basement, the home provides an impressive amount of usable space on a large 122' x 124' corner lot in Lincoln, Kansas. The home's history is as interesting as its architecture. Originally located in the country, the house was relocated to its present site in Lincoln and placed on a full poured-concrete basement, providing substantial additional space for storage, utilities, hobbies or a workshop. Inside, much of the home's original character remains. Beautiful hardwood floors extend throughout much of the living space and are complemented by substantial wood trim, original-style doors and a handsome wood staircase. Large windows fill the rooms with natural light, while the spacious living and dining rooms are connected by a wide opening that creates an easy, comfortable flow. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space along with room for casual dining, while the adjoining dining room provides additional space for everyday meals and larger gatherings. The floor plan includes a particularly valuable feature: one bedroom and a full bathroom on the main level. This creates flexibility for main-floor living, overnight guests, an office or multigenerational needs. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and the second full bathroom. While the home retains its 1930s character, several significant improvements bring its everyday comfort firmly into the present. Updates include energy-efficient windows, dual-zone high-efficiency heating and air conditioning, and a tankless water heater. The dual-zone system is especially well suited to the home's two-story configuration, allowing the upper and lower levels to be heated and cooled independently. Downstairs, the 1,064 sq. ft. full poured-concrete basement remains unfinished, providing a large, open area with substantial storage and workspace as well as possibilities for future use. Outside, mature shade trees and an established lawn complement the home's traditional architecture, while the oversized corner lot provides plenty of breathing room. An accessibility ramp offers convenient access to the main level. This is a home that brings together two things that can be difficult to find in the same property: the hardwood floors, woodwork and architectural character of a 1932 home, paired with thoughtful improvements designed for modern comfort and efficiency. With four bedrooms, two full baths, main-floor living options and more than 1,000 sq. ft. of basement space, it offers considerably more than first meets the eye.
