About This Home

Lovingly cared for over decades, this one-of-a-kind 1950s home was originally built by the Fisher Family of Round Corner Drug Store and has remained a rare two-owner property ever since. Midcentury homes of this caliber and provenance seldom come available. Blending original character with thoughtful, seamless updates, the home is ideally positioned in a central Lawrence location with convenient access to the University of Kansas campus, downtown amenities, and nearby parks, dining, and everyday services. Situated on a rare double lot, the property features a beautifully established, chemical-free garden intentionally cultivated to support birds, pollinators, and a naturally vibrant landscape. Inside, expansive windows fill the main living spaces with light, while wide hallways, generously sized bedrooms, and built-ins throughout offer both openness and function. Hardwood floors anchor the main level, and the main kitchen remains true to the home’s midcentury roots, featuring original boomerang laminate countertops. Original fireplaces, vintage tile, and preserved basement flooring add a level of authenticity and warmth that is increasingly hard to find. The primary suite includes a classic pink midcentury bathroom, a rare and charming nod to the home’s era. The walkout basement adds exceptional flexibility with a full second kitchen and multiple conforming and non-conforming spaces, offering options for guests, multigenerational living, or creative use. Redwood siding, Andersen windows, and a Pella sliding door reflect the quality of construction, while the spacious 27-foot-deep garage offers room for larger vehicles, hobbies, or workshop space. A full attic with a finished floor provides generous additional storage. A rare opportunity to own a truly preserved midcentury property with character, space, and a story ready to carry forward.
