Description
917 E 1264 Road is a one-of-a-kind home resting in the center clearing of forest on a manageable, mostly timbered, 2.9 acres. The calm country peace is just minutes from bustling Lawrence and the University of Kansas. The hard surface roads allow a quick jettison down Highway 59, away from town, until a couple of downshifts and side road juts sway through the Long Shadows development. As one crests the hill and starts downhill, take a right turn at the 917 E 1264 Rd mailbox, and ascend slowly on a short country gravel driveway to your sheltered refuge entrances. > Yes, it's a house with common elements: 4-bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car attached garage with work space. Don't expect a replica of the common cut-to-fit box on rectangular lots in the town-bound subdivisions. This home design was researched by the professor - it was a nationally recognized plan engineered by Boise Cascade Corporation, trumpeted by the American Wood Council, and featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Reports noted its innovative building systems, passive energy considerations, and efficient construction. The art educators/owners purchased plans and negotiated an off-market premium lot split with the concession of a retained driveway easement. It's a remote home site, but also within the Lawrence school district. From the front door foyer, consider the interior space in cubic feet of volume - roomy, breathable, and softly lit by diffused illumination. The standard 1,000-1200 ft plan was expanded to a 2,700 ft., 1.5 story variant, with an inspired expansion to the kitchen entertainment space, adding wall to wall windows, 4 large over head skylights, and a new double deck access. Enjoy bedroom suites on the main and upper level: tall ceilings, perpendicular skylights, and a panorama view of nature through the picture window frames room by room. The base plan was functionally enhanced by adding a crawl space for home systems access and a 9'x15' basement mechanical room and shelter. (A limestone shelf in the hillside prevented a full basement but revealed a solid foundational support from Mother earth). They chose timeless building material finishes: redwood, marble, granite, stainless steel, brick, and glass. The design is clean and fine. No extra embellished scrolls, cartouches, synthetic appliqués, medallions or highly intricate, carved statement pieces. It's an escape from ornate. Truth? If you're curious about living in a work of art, see it yourself. It's like jazz; not easy to explain. A functional house crafted as an art form could be called "Artistecture" and this one is an artistic integration of land, a nationally recognized house plan, and modifications by bright and ambitious professors of art. The timeless materials accompany the original planned niche sauna, wet bar, lounges, five decks, and inconspicuous pantry and laundry. This is your ticket to unique. Live artfully. > (Note: There is a security system. By agreeing to tour, potential buyers and agents may be subject to audio and visual recording).

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI really love the teachers and staff at this school. There is lots of diversity in all aspects. Every child has many resources available to them. My second child will start there next month, and I have no doubt he will be successful! I do think their traffic plan stinks, but most of the school pickups in this town are difficult! I think the Parent Organization does a good job, but it's not easy for a parent that works until 5 or later to get to a meeting.Parent Review12y ago - Lawrence High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth my children attended here K through 5. They were challenged and well supported throughout their school experience. The principal is so personable and all the kids know her. The teachers use technology in creative ways. The staff works together and strives to put the students’ needs first. The majority of the teachers are frequently working before and after hours on their own time to ensure they deliver quality lessons. Parents are encouraged and expected to be participants in their child’s education. This is far different than the implication that parents have to do the teaching. I feel it is fair and appropriate that I practice reading with my child, practice math facts, or help with homework. I personally call it being a parent. I’ve never seen a school and staff that is perfect in every way. However, they do Set the bar high and I appreciated it.Parent Review8y ago
