The famous "Clock House" located about halfway between Lawrence, KS and Topeka, KS along US Highway 40 West and overlooking the California / Oregon Trail. This unique real estate offering has mesmerized travelers along Interstate-70 and it's looking for its next owner! The home boasts more than five acres of property and includes the famous "Clock House" in addition to a massive 60 x 100 insulated and heated, steel-framed metal building and a detached garage/shop. The home commands your attention as you walk up to the expansive front porch with it's towering clock. The clock was saved from a building in Nebraska and moved to its current location where it stands as a sentinel along I-70 between Topeka and Lawrence. The house is well appointed with beautiful lighting fixtures, a passion of the home's antique obsessed curator. A large, chef's kitchen is the cornerstone of the main floor. The kitchen features high-end quality Viking appliances, tons of counterspace, ample cabinets and a layout designed for entertaining. Three bedrooms on the second floor plus one primary bathroom. The third floor attic space is where the clock is housed. This space is currently used for storage overflow but is well situated to be a finished space, adding additional living area to the property. The basement includes an additional 1,522 sq ft of space. There are two access points, an interior access off the kitchen as well as a cellar door style entrance that goes to the outside. The basement area includes a third bathroom with stool, sink and shower. This is an ideal space for an interior workshop or a major bonus for additional storage. Historical NOTES: - The original structure was thought to have been built in 1860 (pre-civil war) and many impressive renovations have been made since then. - The historic California & Oregon Trail runs ran right in front of the Clock House - Historic Lecompton, KS and the Kansas Territorial Capital are just up the road (5 miles) Acreage:5.02 +/- acres | Total Living Area: 3,727 sq ft - (2,205 sq ft above grade + 1,522 sq ft basement) | Bedrooms:3 | Bathrooms: 3 (1 full - 2nd floor | 1/2 - main floor | 3/4 - basement) | Improvements & Buildings: 60 x 100 insulated, steel-frame metal building with overhead propane heat | 44 x 32 garage / shop building Area Info: 10 miles to Lawrence, KS | 13 miles to Topeka, KS | 50 minutes drive to Kansas City International Airport
