7201 Elm Drive, Atchison, KS 66002

Beatiful new home surrounded by nature on all sides! This cottage-style home was built in 2023 as a haven for “empty nesters”. Woodwork for the custom kitchen and living room trim was made from a walnut tree harvested from this very property. The home was built with energy efficiency in mind with walls framed of 2x6 lumber allowing for thick insulation. The appliances such as the mini-split heating/cooling system, the wood pellet stove for extra heat on those winter days, the propane powered stove and on-demand propane water heater have made for low energy bills for the current owners. Luxury vinyl tile was installed throughout the home for durability and easy cleaning. Grow your own food in the well-established raised-bed garden featuring several perennials. The garden has its own water hydrant. The 1.68 acres is bordered by a cliff, a creek, a wooded area, and a large sunny lawn. Take a walk through the woodland path and by the soothing scent garden bordered by native stone. Or sit on the porch for your morning coffee. The well-insulated one-car garage has finished interior walls and a handyman's dream workbench. Now for the house! The first thing you notice is the 16’ tall copper-colored ceiling which creates a feeling of expanse. The copper theme is carried through in the beautiful kitchen backsplash. Two cozy bedrooms have ample closets and have windows that overlook the forest areas, no nearby neighbors! The living room area has views to the North and South, a high art shelf, a West facing hexagon window for stargazing, and a large TV that stays with the house. The bathroom has a beautifully tiled tub/shower with some luxury items such as a heated towel rack and electric wall heater, making it a comfortable oasis. The loft area is a favorite with the kids and could work for a guest sleeping area. The seller is a licensed real estate agent in the state of Kansas.
