From the Listing

Some homes photograph in color. This one makes a statement in black and white. Welcome to 617 N Bluff, where distinctive architecture, modern updates and a location near historic College Hill come together in a home that refuses to feel ordinary. This part of Wichita grew during an exciting era when aviation, oil, rail and entrepreneurship were helping shape the city, and today the surrounding area remains known for mature trees, architectural character and easy access to some of Wichita’s favorite destinations. From the striking geometric facade and attached garage to the dramatic interior volume, this home delivers personality from the moment you arrive. Step inside to a soaring living space featuring an open upper level, contemporary black railings, architectural details and a fireplace made for evenings at home. The updated kitchen pairs bold dark cabinetry with light countertops and stainless appliances, while the dining room is ready for everything from morning coffee to dinner with friends. Even the powder room gets in on the fun with statement-making wallpaper, while the spacious bath offers a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities and modern finishes for a retreat-like feel. Finished lower-level living space creates even more possibilities for movie nights, game days, a home office, fitness space, hobbies or guests. And those black-and-white photos? They are intentional. Before noticing color, notice the lines, the light, the volume and the architecture. The images nod to another era while showcasing spaces designed for modern life. When it is time to head out, the College Hill area, Clifton Square and nearby local dining and cocktail destinations make date night, brunch and evenings with friends easy to enjoy, with downtown Wichita just minutes beyond. Distinctive, updated and full of personality, 617 N Bluff offers a refreshing alternative to the expected. A little historic Wichita attitude, a lot of modern personality, and a home that looks remarkably good in black and white. Major improvements include a new HVAC system, new plumbing, new roof, select new windows, new concrete, new interior and exterior paint, new flooring and carpet, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, and updated fixtures throughout.
