Description

Set along one of Lawrence’s most storied corridors, 1506 University Drive is a study in what it means to live well — steps from the University of Kansas campus, yet removed enough from the ordinary to feel entirely your own. The home’s midcentury bones have been thoughtfully elevated: original wood-paneled rooms, clean geometric lines, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow that feels both curated and lived-in. Inside, a fully renovated chef’s kitchen anchors the heart of the home — warm wood cabinetry...Set along one of Lawrence’s most storied corridors, 1506 University Drive is a study in what it means to live well — steps from the University of Kansas campus, yet removed enough from the ordinary to feel entirely your own. The home’s midcentury bones have been thoughtfully elevated: original wood-paneled rooms, clean geometric lines, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow that feels both curated and lived-in. Inside, a fully renovated chef’s kitchen anchors the heart of the home — warm wood cabinetry to the ceiling, white quartz waterfall island, professional-grade appliances, and hardwood floors that glow underfoot. The reimagined primary suite is a private retreat: a generous bedroom paired with a spa-caliber bath featuring double vanity, walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a dedicated walk-in closet. Beyond the walls, a resort-style saltwater pool commands the rear garden — a crystalline centerpiece around which evenings unfold slowly. String lights, mature oaks, raised garden beds, and a fully fenced yard complete the picture. Whether you arrive for the football Saturdays or the daily ceremony of a morning walk to campus, this home understands exactly who you are.
