This is one of Lawrence's first homes and one of less than an estimated hundred stone homes in town. The cost to construct a new stone home is simply prohibitive. It is a pioneer residence in the bull's eye of the heart of the Old West Lawrence Historic District, the first neighborhood in Kansas listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside, historic character meets everyday livability: hardwood floors, two decorative fireplaces, and a thoughtfully renovated custom kitchen are central to a flexible layout: a formal living room, a den, a converted east porch-multipurpose-room that flexes as a play room, exercise room, or main level bedroom with 3/4 bathroom and laundry. Upstairs, 4 more bedrooms (or 3, plus an office, ) with a full bath, and a dedicated 3/4 bath serving the southwest primary suite. The unfinished basement offers built-in shelving, a workbench, and boiler equipment, while the full attic provides additional storage. Outside, a detached, oversized, one-car garage and workshop added in 1920 and a brick alley way that facilitates City services and deliveries. They are a true bonus for a home of this era. The current stewards have dedicated time and resources to provide a year round treat of flowering trees and plants. As a contributing structure in a National Register district, qualifying renovation work may be eligible for Kansas historic preservation tax credits of up to 40% of qualified expenditures; even for owner-occupied use, and salable if not needed personally (buyers should confirm eligibility with the Kansas SHPO and a tax professional). > Hillcrest Elementary, Liberty Memorial Central Middle, and Free State High Schools.
