230 S Rutan Wichita, KS 67218

College Hill has a way of holding on to people, and homes like this are exactly why. Built in 1915, 230 S Rutan Ave carries all the charm that era is known for: original hardwood floors, ceilings that stretch to 10 feet, original doors and hardware, and woodwork and shelving built into the walls throughout that newer construction simply does not replicate. The rooms are generous in a way that older homes do best. This is the kind of home buyers walk into and immediately feel. The updated kitchen brings the right balance of character and function with refreshed cabinets, a gas stove, an eating nook, and a pantry. Four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms spread across 2,815 square feet, with a flexible upstairs space that works as a second living room, playroom, home office, or additional bedroom. Dual zone heating and cooling and a two car detached garage round it out. And then there is the backyard, a beautifully maintained lot spanning 0.27 acres with a deck, a sprinkler system, and more outdoor space than you will find at this price in College Hill. Walk to College Hill Park and the neighborhood pool from your front door, and stroll to all the restaurants and shops that make this neighborhood one of Wichita's most loved.
