Charming Historic Home Just Blocks from Downtown Lawrence Built in 1900, this beautifully remodeled historic home blends timeless character with modern upgrades. Located just a short walk from vibrant Mass Street, you’ll enjoy easy access to unique shops, local restaurants, and a lively downtown atmosphere. Inside, the home offers two spacious bedrooms plus a versatile flex space—ideal for a home office, reading nook, or craft room. The owner thoughtfully added a convenient half bath, and the full bathroom was completely reimagined to include a laundry area and improved layout. Nearly every aspect of the home has been updated, including a brand-new roof, new plumbing, refinished hardwood floors, and countless other improvements (see accompanying documents for a complete list). The kitchen is a standout feature—exceptionally large with abundant cabinet space and brand-new appliances, perfect for any home chef. Enjoy cozy evenings in the inviting living room. Enjoy the outdoors on the covered front porch, where you can relax and take in the charm of the historic neighborhood. This home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lawrence history—with all the comforts of today.
