Picture a crisp fall evening in St. Marys. The sun is dropping behind the mature trees, the fire pit is crackling, and someone is already reaching for another marshmallow. From your wood deck, the wide lawn stretches out before you, framed by stone-bordered beds and quiet green. There’s no house staring back at you, just your own private retreat set higher on the hill. For 22 years, the current owners have called this place home and loved every season of it. Now it’s ready for its next story. This is the backyard you’ll fall for, and the home behind it is ready the moment you arrive. A brand new roof overhead, fresh carpet and new lighting upstairs mean the hard work is already done. Your only job is to unpack. Mornings start in the bright living room, where a large bay window pours in natural light across warm luxury vinyl plank floors. Coffee brews in the kitchen, with its crisp white upper cabinets, deep charcoal lowers, subway tile backsplash, marble-look counters, and stainless appliances. Someone grabs a seat at the peninsula, someone else settles into the built-in desk nook to finish homework or tackle the household to-do list. When everyone comes home, the laundry room catches the chaos. Jackets, boots, and backpacks land in the coat closet, and generous cabinets keep the rest in order. At night, there’s room for everyone to spread out. Three conforming bedrooms upstairs offer fresh carpet, ceiling fans, and plenty of light, while two non-conforming lower-level rooms flex as a guest room, home office, playroom, or hobby space. Three full bathrooms keep busy mornings moving. And then there’s the room that could change your story entirely: a dedicated hair-washing room, already set up for an in-home styling business. If you’ve dreamed of working from home, the chair is waiting. Seasonal décor, tools, and bulk supplies all have a place in the large storage room, with a second finished storage room to keep things tidy. Quiet, established neighborhood. Easy drives to Topeka, Manhattan, and Wamego. A backyard made for s’mores and slow evenings. The next chapter on the hill is ready to be written. Schedule your showing today!
