Built in 1879, this one-room limestone schoolhouse has been lovingly transformed into a warm and inviting home that still celebrates its original character. The striking stonework shines both inside and out, and thoughtful updates over the years create a cozy, comfortable interior. Set on just under two acres, there is plenty of room to spread out, create outdoor living spaces, or enjoy the grounds. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Lawrence, the property offers both privacy and convenient access to the city. A unique opportunity to own a historic home full of history, personality, and the timeless appeal of rural Kansas.
