Originally built in 1890, this East Lawrence home has been extensively reimagined through a comprehensive, design-driven reconstruction that balances historic character with modern comfort, efficiency, and durability. Natural light shapes the interior, where preserved wood floors, exposed ceiling details, reclaimed materials, custom millwork, natural stone, and clean contemporary finishes create spaces that feel both warm and refined. Beyond aesthetics, major systems and structural elements have been rebuilt or replaced, including new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, roof, major foundation work, and high-performance Marvin insulated windows. The exterior combines historic form with a modern Shou Sugi Ban rainscreen addition designed for long-term durability and energy efficiency. Outdoor spaces include a covered steel-structure porch, concrete retaining walls, rear deck with bridge connection, firepit area, low-voltage lighting, Aquor hydrants, and a 20’ storage container. Located in the Warehouse Arts District just blocks from downtown Lawrence, the property also offers rare future flexibility with alley access and zoning that allows for a future garage and accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Includes 4 off-street parking spaces.
