Babcock's Enlarged Addition subdivision, Lot 12 · Lawrence USD 497 school district
Absolutely magnificent converted church located in the charming Babcock neighborhood. The roots of this property go back to 1872 when Lawrence Quakers built the original Friends Church/meetinghouse which was later razed in 1941 to make way for the beautiful stone structure you see today. The 2026 restoration and renovation maintained the rich historical charm of the building, while providing all the modern and functional conveniences of new construction. The massive living room with 16-foot ceilings and fabulous, exposed beams make this home ideal for entertaining. Inside offers over 5000 finished square feet with 6 generously sized bedrooms, 4.5 baths, hardwood floors, large kitchen, and amazing foyer. The upstairs loft can double as an apartment with it’s own kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Other amenities include fabulous chandeliers, sauna, wet bar, fenced side-yard with hot tub, wrought iron railing, and huge unfinished basement. Full description on page 3.
