A Thoughtfully Reimagined East Lawrence Home in the Warehouse Arts District
Originally built in 1890, this home has been thoughtfully reimagined to blend historic character with modern comfort. The original gabled structure remains at the heart of the design, creating a sense of simplicity, authenticity, and warmth from the moment you arrive.
Inside, the floorplan has been completely reworked to create an easy, intuitive flow with no wasted space. Each room is purposeful, allowing the home to live larger than its footprint while remaining comfortable and efficient.
Natural light shapes the experience throughout, with carefully placed windows bringing in soft light and creating a calm, open, and connected interior.
A reverence for materiality is evident throughout the home. Preserved wood floors, exposed ceiling details, and natural stone tile are paired with clean, modern finishes to create a warm and balanced environment. Original materials have been thoughtfully repurposed into custom wood details, shelving, and millwork—adding texture and continuity between past and present.
The kitchen serves as a central gathering space, anchored by a custom wood bar and designed to feel open, social, and connected to the rest of the home.
The exterior wood rainscreen, inspired by the Japanese tradition of Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood), creates a striking contrast while enhancing durability and energy efficiency. Paired with Marvin double-pane windows and a fully insulated envelope, the home is as efficient as it is distinctive.
This full rehabilitation includes all new plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, appliances, and fixtures.
Outdoor living includes a covered front porch, patio, and expansive raised rear deck—ideal for relaxing and entertaining.
Located just steps from the Warehouse Arts District and New York School, and a short walk to downtown Lawrence.
Updated zoning allows for a future garage and potential two-story accessory dwelling unit off the alley.
