819 8th St Lawrence, KS 66006

Listing details for 819 8th St, Lawrence, KS 66006 : There are houses that are simply built, and then there are houses that become part of a town's story. 819 Eighth Street is one of those homes. Built in 1920, this classic bungalow sits proudly on a corner lot along one of Baldwin City's charming brick streets, just on the edge of downtown. It is the kind of place where you can imagine generations of neighbors passing by, children growing up, and front-porch conversations stretching well into the evening. Step onto the front porch and the personality of the home immediately begins to reveal itself. Inside, the craftsmanship of another era takes center stage. Beautiful woodwork, original character, and built-in cabinetry give the home a warmth and sense of permanence that is difficult to recreate in a new house. Upstairs, along with two bedrooms, you’ll find a charming bathroom that features a spacious jetted soaking tub. Thoughtful details, from the repurposed dresser to the stained-glass transom give this bathroom a warm feel in a relaxing sanctuary. The three-season porch is a perfect little retreat for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or simply watching the seasons change around you. It feels like the kind of room that naturally becomes a favorite. The home also has a full basement with an especially interesting piece of history: it was previously set up with an additional kitchen. But perhaps the best part of this home is its setting: Close enough to downtown to enjoy the character and convenience. A welcoming porch, a brick street, original woodwork with built-ins that have stories of their own, and a three-season porch are waiting for the next chapter. 819 8th Street is more than a bungalow. It is a little piece of Baldwin City history, ready for someone new to carry the story forward. Schedule a showing today!
