Merriam KS Home for Sale: 1.42 Acres, Pool & Workshop
Merriam Home for Sale With 1.42 Acres, a Pool & Workshop
More room outside. More flexibility inside. And a place to work on the projects you never quite have space for.
Coming soon October 15, 2026, 10035 W 55th Street in Merriam, Kansas, brings those possibilities together. Offered at $550,000, this home sits on 1.42 acres and features an in-ground pool, a separate workshop, and 3,313 square feet of finished living space.
After building more than 100 homes and renovating more than 150, I look beyond countertops and paint. I pay attention to how a property works. Where do people gather? Where does everything go? Is there space for hobbies, guests, and everyday life?
Those are the details that make this Merriam home worth a closer look.
A 1.42-Acre Setting With Room to Enjoy the Outdoors
The lot is one of this property's strongest features. Mature trees, a deck, and a patio give you several ways to enjoy the setting.
Maybe your ideal afternoon involves gardening. Maybe it is dinner outside or simply having more space around you. This property gives you room to picture those routines.
For buyers searching for a Merriam home with acreage, the combination of outdoor space and access to shopping, parks, and major highways deserves attention.
Picture Next Summer by the Pool
An October home search can still be about next summer.
The in-ground swimming pool adds another reason to spend time outdoors. Picture a warm afternoon by the water, followed by dinner on the patio. The outdoor entertaining space gives gatherings room to extend beyond the house.
When I evaluate a property, I consider how its features fit the buyer's actual routine. If swimming and outdoor entertaining are already things you enjoy, this is a feature to put high on your tour list.
A Separate Workshop for Projects, Hobbies, and Storage
The workshop offers something that can be difficult to fit into everyday living space: a dedicated place for projects.
It has electricity, with water nearby. That makes it worth exploring if you need space for tools, equipment, hobbies, or additional storage.
Having renovated homes for years, I appreciate the value of a place where a project can stay out between work sessions. You do not have to pack everything away just to reclaim the kitchen table.
The workshop's best use will depend on your needs. During a showing, take a close look at its layout and how your equipment or supplies would fit.
An Updated Kitchen With Space to Gather
Built in 1959, the home has undergone extensive renovations over the past 10 years. Improvements include the kitchen, flooring, and interior paint.
The kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinets, an island, and a large pantry. The hearth room just off the kitchen adds another comfortable gathering space.
That connection matters. A kitchen should support cooking, conversation, and the ordinary traffic of a busy day.
The pantry and abundant storage throughout the home also deserve attention. Attractive finishes help a house make a good first impression. Useful storage helps it work after you move in.
Finished Living Space With Flexibility
The home's 3,313 square feet include 2,196 square feet above ground and 1,117 square feet in the finished basement.
The listing reports three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. The finished lower level includes a full bathroom and additional space for recreation, hobbies, or guests.
The basement also has walk-out access. That is a useful detail to explore as you consider how you would use the lower level and outdoor areas together.
Other practical features include:
Main-level laundry.
A primary bedroom with a walk-in closet.
Three attached garage spaces.
Abundant storage.
No homeowners association.
My architecture and construction background has taught me to look closely at how spaces connect. On your tour, think about where you would gather, where you would want quiet, and how each level would serve your needs.
