Built in 1938, the Fred F. Lawrence House at 83 Vaughan Street was designed by renowned architect John Calvin Stevens and his son, John Howard Stevens. This distinctive West End residence, located on a large corner lot, embodies all of the charm of a classic Currier & Ives postcard. The sunny first floor includes a large eat-in kitchen with island and built-ins, and a wall of doors and glass that invite you to the back yard and deck. Just off the kitchen is a cozy den/family room with fireplace and built ins. A formal front-to-back living room and dining room balance the first level. The second floor offers three + bedrooms, the spacious master suite with its own bath and dressing area. A walk-up third floor is charming finished space, perfect as a playroom or reading space. An unexpected room over the garage is an added bonus, connecting with the back staircase and allowing for modern living. The full basement is finished and houses the laundry, a craft/exercise room and additional family room with a fireplace.
