1735 E 1100th Rd, Lawrence, KS 66049

Modern, spacious and open plan, contemporary style and finish, filled with natural light from many large windows, set in the middle of a 7 acre wooded tract at the end of a private road, adjacent to the city limits and the Lawrence Nature Park, and surrounded by the many hundreds of acres of woods along Lawrence's northwest edge. An architectural rarity, this late mid-century modern home was designed in 1969 for a professor of ornithology, and built in 1970, surrounded by woods, so the professor could live in his own bird sanctuary. In 1994, the second owner purchased the property from the professor's estate, and during that tenure, updated the kitchen and bathrooms with a style and quality befitting the original home, and added gleaming bamboo floors on both levels. We offered this rare gem for sale three years ago, and several hearts were broken when the current owners signed their purchase contract. Now, the growing demands of work and family necessitate the owners' move from Lawrence, and ONE family now has the opportunity to call this remarkable property their own.
