432 Indiana is in the Pinkney neighborhood and is at the bend of the Kansas River and part of the original Lawrence townsite of 1854. We see potential in the location despite the challenges, as we often try to acquire orphaned lots that have not held the interest or area developers but work well with the studio’s interests. The flood zone becomes an extended, forested backyard that feels secluded, despite having to raise the grade and deal with proper submittals with FEMA to assure our compliance with their requirements.
The house has achieved LEED Platinum certification. The highest certification level possible under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) standards for sustainable practice.
The neighborhood is among many valuable living amenities. Just a few blocks away, Downtown Lawrence pulses with vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. Also nearby is the Kansas River which is a National Water Trail with its waterfront parks that extend up to downtown. There is also access to the Lawrence Loop bike route that runs for 22 miles through and around town. As well as being a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, there is easy access to the city bus system.
