3049 S Old Lawrence Rd, Wichita, KS 67217

Built in the 1920s and full of the kind of character you just can’t recreate, 3049 S Old Lawrence has a story to tell. The current owners only bought it in December of 2025, but an unexpected relocation is pulling them away sooner than planned. In the short time they’ve owned it, they’ve poured love into bringing the home back to life while preserving everything that makes it special. From the moment you step onto the oversized covered front porch, you can feel the charm. Inside, original wood floors have been beautifully restored, rich oak doors and trim still remain, and the detailed moldings and built-ins remind you of a time when homes were built with intention. The living room feels warm and inviting with its wood-burning fireplace framed by original glass cabinetry, while the formal dining room and den create the kind of spaces that naturally pull people together. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinetry, a gas stove, tons of workspace, and even room to add an island if desired. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find a surprisingly large laundry room and convenient half bath. One of the coolest features? The classic double staircase leading upstairs from both the kitchen and living room… something you rarely see anymore. Upstairs offers a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, one full bath, and two additional large bedrooms. The unfinished basement is dry and clean, ideal for PLENTY of storage, a hobby workshop, or future expansion. Outside, the nearly half-acre yard has plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, or let kids and dogs run around. There’s also a covered carport tall enough for an RV or extra toys, plus an oversized one-car garage for storage or projects. And let’s be honest… the location is a little unique. While it borders an older area of town, it also backs up to one of Wichita’s best hidden gems: O.J. Watson Park. Fishing ponds, paddle boats, pony rides, miniature train rides, walking paths, playgrounds, and outdoor space are all practically in your backyard! Being so centrally located, you are within 5 miles from Downtown Wichita, the buzzing Delano area, Spirit AeroSystems, and more. For the buyer who values charm, space, history, and character over cookie-cutter living, this home offers something truly hard to find!!!
