The house is on a 100 x 131 ft.² double lot in the Oread neighborhood on the margins of old West Lawrence. It was built in 1938 with block and concrete foundation of stone exterior walls (18 1/2” thick). There is a one-car carport, and a detached two-car garage. The garage was built in 2005. In 2009 the game room addition was added on a 2012 another 425 ft.² was added to the game room. The new family/game room is nearly 1000 ft.² with 20 foot high vaulted ceilings. During World War II, the basement was used as “Barricks” to house soldiers as they trained at Memorial Stadium. The makeshift bathroom has been removed and replaced with a real bathroom. However, a trap door was added and hides some of the relics. The cabinets in the basement were used by the soldiers and the screen door of this unique walkout basement is also original. The builder of this house was inspired by the “French Cottages” he saw as a soldier in World War I. There is NOT 1 crack in this foundation and what he was able to build in the late 30s is a marvel. The property is zoned multi-family duplex. It is zoned to build a 4 bedroom duplex off the house (that would require removing the two-car garage), or keep the garage and build a one to two bedroom (whatever the mind to imagine, master suite type apartment). I have included a letter from the city verifying this. A stones throw away from Memorial Stadium, this home comes with a 22 foot championship shuffleboard, pool table, dart board, bar, indoor/outdoor sound system (8) speakers and 3 listening zones, smart TV mounted on the wall, and Port of Potty for game days. All appliances, including two refrigerators, washer, and dryer. The house is filled with walk-in closet, drawers, and other nooks and crannies for storage space.
