Property Description
Some homes simply provide a place to live. Others tell a story. This incredible 1894 Queen Anne offers the rare chance to become part of a story that has been unfolding in Olathe for more than 130 years. Built by Albert & Helena Hyer Ott & lovingly owned & preserved by the current owner since 1987, this remarkable residence is recognized on the Kansas Register of Historic Places (1988), National Register (1998) & Olathe Register (2011). Beyond the inviting front porch is an interior where craftsmanship, artistry & architectural detail take center stage. An exceptional collection of original & period features includes intricate woodwork, pocket doors, carved stair spindles, original DR cabinetry, tiled FP surrounds, push-button light switches, clawfoot tubs & transom windows throughout, some enhanced with stained glass. Beautiful light fixtures add another layer of character, including several rare reverse-painted pieces. Rich hdwd floors complement many main-level rooms, while sunlight filtering through stained glass near the 2nd-floor landing creates a brilliant kaleidoscope of color. The main level offers a wonderful collection of distinctive gathering spaces. The welcoming LR features a FP, while the formal DR is framed by a wall of windows & showcases a beautiful built-in china cabinet. An adjoining sitting room w/built-in bar creates an intimate spot for conversation or entertaining. The spacious kitchen has a personality all its own, blending function w/historic charm. A 2nd FP, oversized island, replica cast iron stove/oven, breakfast/visiting area, multiple built-ins, pantry, laundry nook & 1/2 bath make this a space designed for far more than preparing meals. Upstairs, 3 BRs continue the home’s story. The primary BR offers direct access to a bath w/tile floor, clawfoot tub & pedestal sink. Two addl BRs share a J&J bath, also featuring a clawfoot tub & sink. Thoughtfully selected window treatments throughout complement the home’s period aesthetic.
