Distinctive midcentury character, a rare double lot, and a brand-new roof come together at this one-of-a-kind 1954 home in central Lawrence. Originally owned by Mel and Betty Fisher of Round Corner Drug Store, the home has changed hands only once. Its current owners purchased it in 1999 and have thoughtfully cared for its unique features ever since. Expansive windows bring natural light into the main living spaces, while wide hallways, generously sized bedrooms, and built-ins throughout offer a spacious, functional layout. Hardwood floors done by Artisan Flooring approximately five years ago bring renewed warmth to the main level. The kitchen celebrates the home’s midcentury roots with original boomerang laminate countertops. Original fireplaces, vintage details, preserved basement flooring, and the primary suite’s classic pink bathroom carry that character throughout the home. A remodeled hall bathroom complements these features with imported porcelain tile from Virginia Tile. Full description on page 3.

Along with the brand-new roof, updates over the years include redwood siding, Andersen windows in the living and dining rooms, and a Pella sliding door. The 27-foot-deep garage provides room for larger vehicles, hobbies, or a workshop, while a full attic with a finished floor offers abundant storage. The walkout basement adds flexibility with a full second kitchen and a mix of conforming and nonconforming spaces for guests, recreation, work, or creative pursuits. Outside, an established garden has been intentionally cultivated to support birds and pollinators, creating a vibrant setting across the expansive double lot. Enjoy an uncommon amount of outdoor space in a central location near the University of Kansas, downtown Lawrence, parks, dining, and everyday amenities. Preserved character, thoughtful updates, and a memorable local history make this a distinctive opportunity to carry a Lawrence story forward.
