Property Description

This stunning Victorian-style beauty has so much charm and “bling,” it just might knock your socks off! A true showstopper in the old-house category, this home celebrates the character, personality, and craftsmanship that make older homes so special. Step inside to find light-filled rooms with tall ceilings, beautiful wood floors, original woodwork, stained-glass windows, period fixtures, graceful architectural curves, and an ornate fireplace surround. The gorgeous staircase is a stunning focal point in its own right, featuring rich wood details and a striking stained-glass window. Generously sized living and dining spaces provide plenty of room to gather, while the updated kitchen, with cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, and updated bathrooms add modern convenience without sacrificing the home’s vintage personality. The charm continues outdoors with an inviting covered front porch and established landscaping that offers something special throughout the seasons. Tulips, lavender, magnolia, river birch, two pear trees, flowering vines, and peonies in shades of white, pink, and red bring color and beauty to the property. A secured composting area has already been started, making it easy for the next owner to continue nurturing the garden. Located in the sought-after Old West Lawrence neighborhood, the home offers easy access to both Massachusetts Street and the University of Kansas. Important updates include a new roof in 2022 and a tankless water heater installed in 2021. A spacious two-car garage, conveniently located off the alley, completes the package. If you’ve been waiting for a distinctive Lawrence home with unmistakable character, thoughtful updates, beautiful gardens, and an incredible location, this one-of-a-kind Victorian-style beauty is not to be missed!
