Own a remarkable piece of Wichita history with this distinctive Tudor Revival home, extensively restored in 2022 as the Star Showcase Home. Designed by noted architect Glen H. Thomas, whose work includes Wichita North High School and Wichita's early airport, this exceptional residence combines its original 1930s character with a thoughtfully completed whole-home renovation.
With multiple gathering spaces and an easy flow throughout, this home was made for entertaining. From holiday celebrations and watch parties to casual evenings with friends, there is room to host on any scale-while still feeling comfortable and inviting for everyday living.
The 2022 restoration addressed both major systems and fine details, including replacement of the original knob-and-tube electrical system, roof, James Hardie siding, 52 Windsor vinyl windows, interior and exterior doors, concrete driveway, garage doors and openers.
The original Craftsman-style front entry door was carefully preserved and restored. Taken down to the studs during the renovation, the kitchen features R.D. Henry cabinetry, soft-close drawers, slide-out pantry shelving, quartz countertops, classic backsplash, Blanco sink, updated lighting and appliances.
Restored hardwood floors, hickory wainscoting and a striking floor-to-ceiling mosaic-tiled fireplace honor the home's timeless craftsmanship. The spacious primary suite was redesigned with a private bath featuring a dual-sink vanity, quartz countertop and walk-in tiled shower, along with an exceptionally large walk-in closet, updated windows, carpet and a decorative electric fireplace.
A second expansive entertaining space offers even more room to gather and features updated drywall, trim, windows, flooring and a wet bar with wine refrigerator. Additional improvements completed during the restoration include a TimberTech composite deck and railing, extensive interior paint and trim work, and rough-cedar front porch posts.
The home's original hand-drawn blueprints, signed by architect Glen H. Thomas, remain with the property-providing an extraordinary connection to the rich architectural history of Wichita's Country Club neighborhood. Historic character, flexible living spaces and exceptional entertaining potential come together in a home designed to be enjoyed.
