501 E Walker Street

Step into a true Ash Grove landmark at 501 E Walker, a 115-year-old, three-story historic home built with timeless grandeur inside and out as the LARGEST HOUSE within the Ash Grove city limits. A classic wraparound porch sets the stage--perfect for morning coffee, front-row parade views, and soaking in the energy of a town that truly comes alive. The porch and foundation both are stacked with stones cut straight from Phenix Quarry which also happens to be the same place stones were cut for the capital building. The location is unbeatable: one block from the school and one block from the city park, which features a pool, tennis courts, and a skate park, and hosts beloved community events like Sparks in the Park. It is like having all the amenities of an HOA without having HOA. Positioned on the main drag, this home sits at the center of it all--epic Halloweens with 500+ trick-or-treaters every year we've lived here, festivals, and parades that pass directly in front of the house. We have watched the massive Sparks in the Park Fireworks show from our porch.Inside, historic character meets modern comfort with 10-foot ceilings on the main floor offering scale and elegance rarely found today. Major mechanical updates include newer central heat and air serving the main floor and basement (both less than 5 years old), plus a separate upstairs AC unit also less than 5 years old. New Gas Fireplace installed 2024!The kitchen has been updated in recent years, featuring striking hexagon tile with gold grout, creating a stunning honeycomb effect that blends modern style with historic charm. Out back, enjoy the brand-new second-story balcony, adding yet another place to relax and take in the property.Set on a 1/2-acre lot with a potting shed and abundant storage throughout, this home offers space, presence, and a lifestyle that's hard to replicate. This isn't just a house--it's a piece of Ash Grove history and a front-row seat to the heartbeat of the town
