Lovingly maintained for over 15 years, this one-of-a-kind East Lawrence home offers exceptional versatility with space to live, entertain, and generate income. The main level features four bedrooms, two full baths, a bright living room, and an updated kitchen with dining area. Upstairs, a fully renovated loft creates a private retreat complete with a spa-like bathroom, striking cast-iron tub, fireplace and its own composite deck overlooking the backyard. With a separate entrance and a long-standing history as a successful Airbnb, this space offers incredible income potential or an ideal private primary suite. The finished daylight basement expands the home’s functionality with a custom bar, recreation area, additional bathroom, and a dedicated workout space. Situated on a large corner lot over a quarter acre, the fenced backyard is a true outdoor oasis featuring an in-ground pool, patio space, mini trampoline, shed, and additional storage. Sun tunnels bring in natural light throughout including one in the basement, and a pool table remains with the home. Extensive updates have been completed over the years, including replacement windows, updated plumbing, newer roof, hot water heater, and improvements to flooring, kitchen, and baths. The home has been pre-inspected for added peace of mind. A rare opportunity to own a home that offers both lifestyle and income potential in a prime East Lawrence location. Exterior photos were taken this summer to showcase the pool when it was open and the landscaping.
