This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lawrence history — a one-owner home built by the developer who shaped Pioneer Ridge. The original blueprints and materials list come with the house. Constructed of solid brick with a gracious slate entry and winding staircase, this home was built not for a season, but for generations. The main floor offers formal living and dining rooms, a warm family room anchored by a raised brick hearth and gas-jetted fireplace, and an informal dining area graced by an Italian tole ware chandelier. This home is not an LVP flip dressed up for HGTV — every inch reflects the intention and craft of a developer who built it for keeps. Upstairs, five bedrooms feature hardwood floors (some under carpet), and a primary suite with a cedar-lined closet and a built-in dresser. Thoughtful details abound: a laundry chute, a kitchen computer desk, Bluetooth garage door openers, copper window flashing, and a new 200-amp electrical panel. The roof is no afterthought — DaVinci plastic Class IV designer shakes and Malarkey Impact-Resistant shingles offer both curb appeal, potential insurance savings, long life, & lasting protection. Exceptional built-in security features come with the home. The front rooms look onto a canopy of 60-year-old-oaks. The quality, wood-fenced backyard is a private oasis, its large patio enclosed by antique wrought iron fencing salvaged from the original City of Lawrence Hospital — a conversation piece as enduring as the home itself. The full unfinished basement — complete with workbench, pegboard, shelving, and a roughed-in bathroom — awaits your vision. Restricted car access equates to one block tree-lined street for Schwarz Road residents. Stop light on 6th Street allows a controlled path for pedestrians. Close to Dillon's Grocery, Westside 66 Service & Gas station, Lawrence Country Club; Centennial and Ludlam Parks; Deerfield, West, and Free State Schools.

Deerfield, located between W 6th St and Clinton Parkway, is a residential and suburban Lawrence neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree cover. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the W 6th St and Wakarusa Dr corridor, where low-slung plazas, coffee counters, and local eateries set a steady, everyday rhythm. Sidewalk loops and pocket greens frame ranch-style houses and later infill with tidy setbacks. Clinton Lake’s trailheads and open water sit just south, shaping a weekend-outdoors cadence. West Lawrence’s retail strips keep errands close without changing the quiet interior blocks.
