In the mid-1950s a builder from Topeka, John “Church” Sargent had an idea no one else had thought of before in Lawrence. The lots he purchased were south of KU and north of West Junior High. "Church" made a bold decision and decided to construct the Lawrences' first neighborhood of midcentury modern post and beam spec homes, called the “Space Homes", not because it was the emerging era of space travel and Sputnik, but because the homes were affordable and offered a lot of---- "space" for the money. I consider these the modest modern Eichler’s of Lawrence. Today, they are highly sought after, the ceiling features natural wood with large beams stretching across the interior. Most have 2 full bathrooms that back up to each other.This one turned the garage into a 2nd living space and added a carport. The backyard is fully fenced, and the location is top tier, Sunset Hills neighborhood. Someone will be very happy here. Who’s next?
