3 S Colonial Ct, Wichita, KS 67207

It’s the rare combination of exceptional street appeal, a brilliant and flexible floor plan, high quality improvements and excellent maintenance. This traditional home has the cottage style elements that were so popular in the 30’s. The stone clad first floor, multiple gables and dormers, the shake roof and multiple chimneys project prosperity and good taste. The main floor is anchored by a traditional living room with the first of five fireplaces and a formal dining room. The living room opens to a voluminous space. Tremendous windows produce abundant light. A second fireplace, half bath and access to the first of two private patios provide this room with a vast range of potential uses. At the other end of the house there is a cozy hearth room that features custom bookcases and storage cabinets with built in dry bar and sub-zero beverage cooler and the electronic equipment that runs the whole house stereo system. Again, the room has a substantial fireplace a bow window with cushioned seating and quadruple French doors that provide access to another private patio. In the center of everything is the kitchen. It starts with acres of granite counter tops ending in a peninsula with pull up seating for four. The custom cabinetry offers everything including hidden microwave space, desk, a walk-in pantry a second pantry and a huge farm sink. A pass through above the sink to the hearth room keeps everything social and convenient. The Sub-Zero (632) built in has almost 30 cubic feet of interior space. The 36” Viking professional gas cook top has a char grill and is supported by a pot filler and a lighted high-capacity vent hood. Built in Wolf ovens (cso24 & so30-2F) offer convection/steam and dual convection along with a host of other features. And if you need a bit of fresh air, the kitchen also has outside access. A charming informal dining room rounds out the main floor. Another fireplace and two bow windows with cushioned seating extend the warmth and charm of the kitchen. The primary suite on the second floor can be your own oasis. The ensuite has dual sinks in a granite topped vanity and a bubble jetted tub/shower combination. The large walk-in closet is fitted with custom drawers and shelves shares duty with two separate built-in wardrobes. The surprise is a private lounge with yet another fireplace and a concealed laundry pair under a granite counter with sink. Two other spacious bedrooms are connected by a shared bath with shower.
