933 South River St., St. Francis, KS 67756

Simplify your life with this low maintenance minimalist studio home on a half acre lot inside the edge of the city limits. Expansive horizon views (including the Republican River valley) offer one of the best perspectives in town. The unfinished interior allows you to make it whatever you desire.  Designed as a 'shop you can live in', it can be an artist studio, Airbnb etc., or if you decide to build your dream home on the the west end (approximately 1/3 acre usable)... whatever you dream up.  The structural insulated panels from EPS Buildings in Iowa are exceptionally energy efficient. The SIPs, combined with the gas fired hydronic radiant floor heating system, means you'll be warm in the winter with no dusty or noisy forced air cycling: the entire floor is your uniformly heated radiator. A window AC unit is all you need to stay cool in the summer and the windows are located to ensure great natural ventilation when you want fresh air.  The gas fired on demand heater for household water is more than adequate for extended showers and with no always on water heater, consumes a minimum of energy. The apartment sized Amana gas oven allows precision stove top cooking.  The metal roof and Diamond Kote siding ensures durability and minimal maintenance.  A country living experience in the city, with room for another structure, combines the best of small town and country living.
