This house is part of the Pinkney neighborhood’s charming 400 block of Indiana Street in Lawrence, Kansas. it is a unique setting for a single-family residence in the heart of the city. There is easy access to many valuable living amenities. Just a few blocks away is the Lawrence Hospital as well as downtown Lawrence which pulses with vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. The site had not been previously developed, and the lot was overgrown, an orphan of development, falling outside of a developer’s formula for expedient development. It is adjacent to part of a flood zone and there is no alley running behind the lot. The site is alongside a drainage way that takes rainwater to the nearby Kansas river. The main living areas and primary bedroom are on the upper level, away from the street noise. A chair lift has been roughed in should that need ever come to pass. The street level includes two bedrooms and an office space as well as a mechanical room and full bath. The house is USGBC certified Platinum, the highest achievable score. Sixteen photo voltaic panels collect 535 watts each to minimize most energy costs.
