Why they chose this property

This property is situated near the start of Downtown Hays and has a lot curb appeal and history. The main house was constructed in 1948 by the local downtown jeweler. Since taking ownership in 2010, we have had on-going renovations and construction to restore the property and bring it to current codes. The house was featured in the regional Das Haus magazine in 2014 for it's unique renovations. In 2011 adjoining property was purchased and the lot expanded in late 2016. On Valentine's Day 2017, framing for what is now the Chestnut Loft began with construction finished by Nov 1, 2017. This property is one of the well known houses in Hays showcasing it's original Italian stained glass window, exaggerated chimney and bright red rounded front door. The loft building was built mirroring the original appearance of the main house and it utilized by travelers, executives, and families wanting all the comforts and conveniences of a Downtown Hays experience while having privacy, security, and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

The Chestnut Loft features a location that is unseen in this area. Being in the Downtown district, popular restaurants, bars, entertainment, shopping and art are literally just a walk away.

If you like the outdoors, literally when you walk out the door you are underneath of the pergola with comfy seating, egg chairs, tables and an experience that will make you forget you are located in the downtown area!
