13705 E 117th St N St

Classic Country Home on Acreage in Northeast Sedgwick County Proudly presenting a classic Kansas country home on 4.74 ± acres in northeast Sedgwick County! Located at 13705 E 117th St N between Valley Center, Whitewater, and Benton, this 1910 old-style farmhouse offers rural living, mature trees, usable outbuildings, and convenient access back to east Wichita. With 1,534 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a partially finished basement, this property has the space and utility buyers look for in a small-acreage homestead. Home & Interior The home carries the character of its original era with old-style farmhouse architecture, original trim work, wood details, and classic window features still in place. The current owners have cared for the property since the mid-1980s, and that long-t erm ownership shows in the way the home, grounds, and gardens have been maintained. The main level provides comfortable living space, while the approximately 400 ± square foot basement offers extra room for storage, a den, TV area, hobby space, or storm shelter use. Off of the main bedroom sits a lovely enclosed patio, perfect for evening hang outs or drinking coffee in the morning. Shop, Barn & Improvements A major highlight of this acreage is the 30' x 40' metal shop with concrete floors, electricity, and overhead doors. Whether you need covered parking, equipment storage, a woodworking area, automotive workspace, or a general tool and project shop, this building adds tremendous function to the property. An older barn is also on site and provides additional storage along with existing stalls for limited livestock use. The barn does not currently have electricity, but it still offers practical space for animals, hay, tack, tools, or country-living storage. Land, Trees & Gardens The 4.74 ± acres are loaded with mature trees, established landscaping, and decades of care. The owners have maintained a pollinator garden with amended and carefully tended soil, creating a strong foundation for continued wildflowers, native plantings, or conversion into vegetable production. From April through August, the property offers seasonal blooms, shade, and the kind of outdoor character that is hard to recreate on a newer acreage. Deer are regularly seen around the property, adding to the rural setting. Location This property sits on a dirt road in the northeast part of Sedgwick County, offering a true country feel while keeping Wichita access within reach. Valley Center, Whitewater, Kechi, and the Benton communities are all nearby, and east Wichita's North Greenwich Road development corridor is roughly 15-20 minutes away. Just to the south is Furley, a small rural Sedgwick County community centered near 101st St N and Greenwich Rd. Furley United Methodist Church, the historic Furley CO-OP area, and the Union Pacific rail corridor help define the local agricultural setting. That combination of acreage, shop space, mature trees, and location makes this a strong fit for buyers wanting room for projects, animals, gardening, and a rural home base without giving up access to city amenities. This northeast Sedgwick County acreage has a lot to offer: classic farmhouse character, usable shop space, an older livestock barn, mature trees, garden ground, and a location that keeps you connected to Wichita while still giving you the room and feel of country living.
