Welcome to one of Wichita's most iconic homes — a sprawling, 5-bedroom mid-century modern gem nestled in the heart of the Indian Hills neighborhood. Perfectly positioned near the river and just minutes from downtown's vibrant business and entertainment districts, this home offers the rare combination of urban convenience and peaceful neighborhood charm. Plus, you're just steps away from the thriving Indian Hills Swim Club and the scenic bike and walking paths along the river—ideal for active living and community connection. Lovingly owned by the same family for over 70 years, this residence is a true architectural time capsule — preserving the essence of mid-century modern design like no other home in the city. From impeccably maintained original fixtures and finishes to thoughtfully integrated updates, every inch of this property exudes character and soul. Whether you're drawn to the retro aesthetic or envision bringing your own modern style, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Custom features abound throughout the home. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in, while multiple patios and private courtyards seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Exposed stone and brick elements inside and out create a cohesive and earthy aesthetic throughout. The large frost-proof carport not only protects your vehicles year-round but also offers a welcoming front gathering space, complete with a reflection pool and courtyard framed by stately double entry doors. Inside, generous built-in storage ensures a place for everything — and then some. The secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully placed in their own wing, offering privacy and space for a larger household. The formal dining room is moody and intimate — ideal for everyday meals or elegant entertaining. The primary suite is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring its own private den or study and a sunroom — an incredible retreat you simply have to see to believe. A separate, finished hobby garage offers a versatile space for projects and even fits a small car — on red carpet, no less! Massive windows bathe the home in natural light, and their unique sliding design adds to the vintage charm. All bathrooms are in excellent working order and stay true to the home's original design. A small, clean, dry basement provides a secure space for storage and peace of mind during Kansas storms, although this solidly built home offers reassuring strength throughout. Whether you're a design purist eager to preserve a piece of Wichita's history, or a visionary ready to blend the best of past and present, this home delivers space, soul, and unmistakable style. This is more than a home — it's a piece of Wichita's story. Don't miss your chance to own this rare architectural treasure. Homes like this are few and far between — and they don't stay on the market for long. THIS PROPERTY IS BEING OFFERED VIA LIVE AUCTION with Online Bidding on Saturday Sept 27th, 2025.
