Property Description
1st tours Aug. 29-30. (DOM includes days of notice the house was "coming soon.") Sellers are looking for December transfer of title and Buyer possession. Recorded in history as the home of Lawrence's mayor during Quantrill's raid. The existing stone house construction is attributed to revered mason, Patrick Mugan, who built for his family. It is available to purchase and possess this year. Circa 1859-1869. (as derived from the Abstract).This is one of Lawrence's oldest homes and one of perhaps only a hundred stone homes in town. It is a pioneer residence in the bull's eye of the heart of the Old West Lawrence Historic District, the first neighborhood in Kansas listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is said to be the site of the home of Colonel George Collamore, Lawrence's 6th mayor, whose story is woven into the town's founding and its darkest day, Quantrill's Raid, Aug. 21, 1863. Inside, historic character meets everyday livability: hardwood floors, two decorative fireplaces, and a renovated kitchen sit alongside a flexible layout: a formal living room, a den, and a converted east porch, multipurpose room that flexes as a play room, exercise room, or main level bedroom with 3/4 bathroom and laundry. Upstairs, 4 more bedrooms (or 3, plus an office,) with a full bath, and a dedicated 3/4 bath serving the southwest primary suite. The unfinished basement offers built-in shelving, a workbench, and boiler equipment, while the full attic provides additional storage. Outside, a detached, oversized, one-car garage and workshop added in 1920 and a brick alley way that facilitates City services and deliveries. They are a true bonus for a home of this era. The current stewards have dedicated time and resources to provide a year round treat of flowering trees and plants. As a contributing structure in a National Register district, qualifying renovation work may be eligible for Kansas historic preservation tax credits of up to 40% of qualified expenditures; even for owner-occupied use, and salable if not needed personally (buyers should confirm eligibility with the Kansas SHPO and a tax professional). > Zoned for Hillcrest Elementary, Liberty Memorial Central Middle, and Free State High Schools. Walk to downtown Massachusetts Street and the University of Kansas. A rare chance to own a piece of Lawrence history — and live in it.
