The Lane-Greenlees House, one of the most historic homes in Old West Lawrence, is for sale. This is also one of the few historic homes in Old West Lawrence with extensively updated and modernized infrastructure, beautiful spacious kitchen, and large open living room.
This beautiful 2 ½ story home was built in 1865 as a small one-story dwelling by James Lane - his first structure in Lanes First Addition. It was extensively added to and improved many times in the following 160 years .The home is listed individually on the Kansas Register of Historic Places.
The home was extensively renovated in 2011 at a cost of $600,000.
This home is perfect for someone who wants a historic home with modern comforts, and loves to cook, entertain, or to collect and display art.
The ground floor can easily accommodate intimate groups or parties with 40 or more guests. During nice weather, parties can spill onto the front and back porches and the patio. The kitchen is a joy to cook, entertain, and eat in
The home includes classically elegant prismatic leaded glass windows, 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths on two floors, and a third floor attic ready for conversion to additional living space.

What's special
Beautiful spacious kitchen
What the owner loves about this home
We love this home, and are selling because it's time for us to downsize.
We love this home because of it's large, spacious living room, huge modern kitchen, and beautiful dining room for getting together with friends and family.
We love the beautiful historic woodwork throughout the home and the four 1911 leaded glass windows. When the light is right, they throw prisms of color everywhere.
We love the picture rails throughout, which allow us to easily hang and move art from room to room as our whims and the seasons change.
We love the underfloor heat on the first floor and the cozy sealed Valor heater on winter days.
We love the quiet, cozy hot water radiator heat throughout the house.
We love our front and back porches, and our patio - great places for hanging out with friends and neighbors.
We love our neighbors, and often spend time together on each others porches or in our back yards,
We love being in the middle of Old West Lawrence, far from the sounds of traffic on 6th and 9th Street.
We love the extra storage on the 3d floor - an attic acccessible via stairs.
We love the warm durable skim coated walls throughout the house. The colors are beautiful and coordinated, since they are from the same palette.
I could keep going, but rather than do that, invite interested folks to contact us for a personal tour.
