Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Lawrence history with incredible flexibility for the future. Built in 1862 and standing through Quantrill's Raid the following year, 945 Kentucky has been part of the Lawrence story for more than 160 years. Today, the property pairs its remarkable history and original character with thoughtfully updated interiors and two separate, legally rentable residences. The main home at 945 Kentucky offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with beautiful wood floors, original architectural details, abundant natural light, and an updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and classic finishes that feel right at home alongside the property's historic character. A spacious covered front porch adds to its quintessential Lawrence charm.At 945 1/2 Kentucky, a separate 690-square-foot residence offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, a full kitchen, living space, and its own covered porch. Both residences can legally be rented, creating an array of possibilities—live in one and rent the other, accommodate extended family or guests, or add a distinctive property to an investment portfolio. Four off-street parking spaces at the rear of the property add even more convenience. Ideally situated with easy access to both Downtown Lawrence and the University of Kansas, 945 & 945 1/2 Kentucky is an uncommon combination of history, location, versatility, and modern livability.
