Historic Alfred Landon Home! Mr. Landon was a former Kansas Governor and a presidential candidate and this was his home during much of that time. It was moved to it's current site in 2005. The main level of the home has been completely restored with special attention to the integrity of the original materials. This includes original and stripped woodwork, oak floors, fireplace mantel, light fixtures, butler's pantry, pocket doors, crown moulding and more. The current spacious kitchen was an addition to the original home. The home has 3 stories; most of the 2nd and 3rd levels have been gutted with only one renovated bedroom on the 2nd level. The 3rd story even has potential for 3 additional bedrooms and a bathroom. The location is ideal to walk to town, restaurants, churches and sits high on a corner lot. There is also a wonderful wrap around porch and portico. The new owner could easily live downstairs while remodeling the 2nd story. Make your own History in this Grand Beauty!
