There’s something truly special about a home that has stood for more than a century, and this beautiful historic Merriam home, on the historic registry, offers all the character you hope to find, thoughtfully updated for the way we live today. From the moment you step into the spacious entry,… Read More original leaded glass and beautiful doors welcome you in and set the tone for what’s ahead. The cozy family room is anchored by an original stone fireplace, while the spacious formal dining room is filled with windows and natural light and features classic plantation shutters, an inviting space for everything from holiday dinners to evenings with friends.
Spanning three stories with five bedrooms and two and a half baths, the home is filled with warmth, original charm, and beautiful hardwood floors. Generous room sizes and surprisingly spacious closets offer a level of function rarely found in a home of this era, including a large primary suite with a conveniently located and updated bath.
The kitchen has been tastefully designed with classic white cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops and an adorable built-in banquette, while new windows in 2023 and new HVAC system provides the modern conveniences buyers appreciate without sacrificing the home’s historic character.
Outside, the backyard feels like its own private escape. A newer deck leads to a wildflower garden, beautiful paver patio with fire pit, and new privacy fence creating a wonderful setting for morning coffee, summer evenings, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying a little quiet at home. You will also love the new circle drive (2026) and extended driveway that provides ample parking for guests or a place to play.
And the location makes it even better. Just minutes from the restaurants, shops, new developments in Merriam and the local charm of Downtown Shawnee, with convenient access to I-35, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that feels rich in history while still fitting beautifully into modern life.
