Olathe Real Estate

Front (west) side of house. The entire exterior of the home was renovated in the summer of 2003, which included a new roof (GAF Timberline 30-Year Architectural Composition Roofing), attic ventilation, soffits, guttering, siding, windows, doors, and a custom-built pressure-treated wood deck. The exterior of the house is now truly weather-resistant and "Maintenance Free".

Front (west) side of house.

South & East elevations; the deck is located on the east side of the house, for soothing shade on summer evenings!

East & North elevations. The custom-built 16 x 16 pressure-treated wood deck includes indirect recessed lighting in the railings that provides an attractive glow and ambiance for outdoor evenings. The patio area below the deck is also served by this lighting, along with a ceiling fan/light for the dried-in area below the deck.

North & West elevations.

Front entrance faces west. ALL of the windows were replaced in August 2003 with Reynolds Series 5000 vinyl double-hung dual-glazed high performance low-e argon windows. The aesthetically superior windows feature the "Single Prairie" grid design, a distinction from other area homes. In conjunction with the window replacement, all of the exterior doors were replaced with Stanley Sta-Tru Plus steel entry doors. At the same time as the window and door replacement, all of the original wood siding was replaced with Reynolds "Polar Wall Plus!" foam laminated vinyl siding, which is a full 3/4 inch thick panel, and features the Polar Wall Plus! locking system that resists winds beyond 200mph; the siding also has superior fade resistance.

All exterior walls are completely encapsulated with Reynolds Polar Wall Plus!, a superior vinyl siding product.
