Description

History still speaks in this beautiful downtown Lawrence home filled with its original details and loved through many years. This grand porch wrapped home was given new life when it joined the little two story studio house on this lot in 1998. The main house was moved from 10th and Vermont Street onto a new foundation with new electrical and plumbing breathing life into the beautiful old bones. Creativity will flourish with so many spaces to play and work. The main level will charm you from the minute...History still speaks in this beautiful downtown Lawrence home filled with its original details and loved through many years. This grand porch wrapped home was given new life when it joined the little two story studio house on this lot in 1998. The main house was moved from 10th and Vermont Street onto a new foundation with new electrical and plumbing breathing life into the beautiful old bones. Creativity will flourish with so many spaces to play and work. The main level will charm you from the minute the front door opens showing off spectacular trim details and generous rooms throughout. Original pocket doors and charming fixtures delight from the main level up to the bedrooms. The fun updated kitchen space provides clever storage with nooks, shelves and great flow. The 1998 foundation added higher basement ceilings, allowing for useful space in the basement. Recent benefits include an updated high quality 3D comp roof, new exterior paint, and all new HVAC to be installed prior to closing. The original 1880 house on this property is the little two story house which sits over an unfinished rustic basement space. The 1880 house is rooms fully electrified and has been used as workshop and music studio. Majestic old trees shade the sweet fenced yard and the chicken coup is ready for chicks. Just a few blocks from the riverfront and downtown. Music and art have filled all of these spaces that now await new hands and hearts.
