Cute as a Button cottage close to everything cool. Tall windows let light pour into charming, airy space with lofty ceilings and rich hardwood floors. Accented with elements like fun, unique built-in shelving, a dedicated office room, lovely sun porch, and a pleasant shaded backyard of all native plantings, you may never want to wander away. But if excitement and adventure call, it's an easy stroll to local favorites at the Warehouse Arts District, Lawrence Beer Co, Culinaria, Hobbs Park, and Burroughs Creek Trail. A line of notable improvements were made in approximately 2018-2019 including a replaced roof, new HVAC system, & new sump pump. See for yourself what makes this one special!
