It is currently leased to 3 people. The lease ends August 1, 2025. The electrical, plumbing and sewer lines have been updated. The exterior was painted in 2020. The HVAC is a high-efficiency system. Home shares a driveway with 1541 Kentucky and has 3 spaces behind the home. The home has been a reliable source of income and housing for KU students. Who's next?
