Property Description
The Pickering House – A Historic Gem in Olathe, Kansas Located at 507 West Park Street, Olathe, Kansas, the Pickering House, soon to be renamed the Presley-Pickering Estate, is a distinguished property listed on the Kansas and National Register of Historic Places since 1980. As the second-oldest home in Johnson County, this architectural treasure has been meticulously restored over nearly 13 years by its current owner, a seasoned professional with over 57 years of experience in the construction industry. This labor of love has transformed the property from the brink of demolition into a stunning showcase of historic preservation and modern luxury. The residence has been extensively rebuilt with exceptional attention to detail, featuring over 1,800 handcrafted, era-appropriate moldings adorning the interior trim. Modern upgrades include PEX plumbing, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, all-new electrical wiring, drywall, carpet, and tile. Additional amenities include a central vacuum system and temperature-controlled roof vents for optimal attic ventilation. Spanning over 6,000 square feet, the home offers 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, 3 laundry rooms, and ample living space, ideal for multi-generational residents, entertaining, or versatile use. While nearing completion, the property presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking either a turnkey residence or a chance to add their personal touch with minor finishing work. Replicating this home today would exceed $1.5 million, making this a remarkable value for a property of this caliber and historical significance. You better hurry, as interest in this one-of-a-kind estate is rapidly growing!
