What makes it Green:

This is a Classic farm house from 1870 that we moved from nearby historic Lawrence Kansas, and completely restored from the ground up.

It is on an ICF basement, that has tiled and stained insulated concrete floors, and a greenhouse room on the lower level to heat the floor during the winter.

The main floor has a new kitchen with two sinks and a gas island stove. the floor and counter tops are Forbo linoleum on new plywood. It has a renovated built in Subzero refrigerator, and a large pantry cupboard, and a dry storage drawer. The dining, and family room on this level have veneer plaster walls, and wood floors. There is a half bath an a back door leading out to a 32'x32' party deck that can be turned into an extra room or living space.

The upstairs has three bedrooms and one bath with a claw foot tub and shower. There are interior wall paintings by Caty Kennedy (pocketmoonmachine.com) throughout the house. The exterior is painted wood lap siding and a wrap around porch for summer shading and eating. The 12x16' office is a separate building a few yards away, and complies to commercial electric codes.

The back yard has a creek that is sometimes dry, and a play and camping area and a fantastic hedge tree with a tree house big enough for a slumber party. There are some nice trees and back woods and a 5 acre meadow for a small crop, or a big garden. A barn is planned, and many people here have horses. It is a progressive/farming community near a country grade school and an active small town and countryside.

Kansas University is a 20 min drive, Topeka, 30 min, and Kansas City 45 min. A very nice low impact life style with plenty of cultural and agricultural activities.
