4 A GETAWAY WITHOUT THE TRAVEL Nestled in the quiet countryside of the Flint Hills, just a few minutes from the quaint, small town of Maple Hill, The Warren House enjoys all the solitude of a country home with big-city amenities close by. Just 15 minutes to the state capitol city of Topeka, 45 minutes to college towns Lawrence and Manhattan, and less than a 2 hour drive from the bright lights of Kansas City. Experience Kansas in all of its natural beauty, diverse culture and local flavors. EXPANSIVE VIEWS Experience the incredible prairie vistas and quiet beauty of the Flint Hills, as well as awesome views of Buffalo Mound. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE Italianate was one of the most popular Victorian-era housing styles from the mid- to late-1800s. Homes in this style ranged from modest two-story town houses to ornate mansions of sea captains and other wealthy entrepreneurs. Inspired by villas of Italy, the style is defined most by the use of single or paired decorative brackets under wide cornices. ONE-OF-A-KIND FURNISHINGS Persian rugs, original oil paintings, Tiffany style lamps and fine antiques still fill the home today. The price of the home includes all decor, furniture and antiques; including the original and fully restored Hazelton Brothers grand piano. A significant Warren family contribution to the community was the chartering of the First Congregational Church with early worship services held in the Warren parlor. The Warren ladies played the original Hazelton Brothers piano and sang in the choir. The limestone church was later built on a nearby hill, and each week the Warrens loaded the grand piano into the back of their wagon and transported it to and from the Old Stone Church. MODERN & EFFICIENT Without disturbing its historic beauty and authenticity, the house boasts high energy efficiency attained during its complete restoration. Hybrid heat pumps, low cell foam insulation, and whole-home security system are a few of the modern amenities which lend comfort, security, and economy to this 140 year-old country estate. Each of the original over-sized windows have been custom rebuilt adding to the amount of solar heating the house allows. Thick native limestone walls help keep a moderate temperature throughout the year.

5 WELCOME HOME W ar r e n R o ad Maple Hill, K S The tall, solid limestone house has been a sentinel on the pristine Flint Hills prairie since 1873, when railroad land first became available for purchase and Native Americans still roamed the grasslands. Dura Warren, a reported wealthy stockbroker and horse trader in New York City, purchased two sections of Flint Hills land and moved the family to Kansas. The Warren s built this grand Italianate stone home (locals called it a mansion) with glorious floor to ceiling windows, center hall stairway, high ceilings and large rooms. Generations of Warrens, prosperous settlers from Brooklyn and Massachusetts, lived and celebrated the West in this grand Flint Hills country limestone estate. To this day, the Warren family is the only one to live in the home.
