Tietoja majoituspaikasta

The Architect’s Modern Castle

Designed & built by Dan Rockhill, distinguished professor of architecture at KU, the Epard/Porsch house features sculptural stone, steel, & glass elements that bring abundant sunlight into modern living spaces.

Walking distance to Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium
In-ground pool with expansive private patio
Rooftop terrace
2-story solarium
2 balconies
Loft office
Stocked kitchen
Spacious bedroom suites
Large bathrooms, jetted tub, walk-in Italian shower
Driveway parking for 6 cars

Built in 1997, the Epard/Porsch house is one of Rockhill's most audacious projects. It is bold, imaginative, and unapologetically unique.

The home sits atop Mount Oread, just a few blocks west of campus. It takes around 5 minutes to walk to the Chi Omega fountain, 15 minutes to walk to Allen Fieldhouse, and 18 minutes to walk to the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.

The house is composed of two wings connected by a central staircase. The first wing has the main living room, dining room, kitchen, and loft office. A guest bedroom is located below, next to the pool and solarium. The second wing has another living room and bedroom on the second floor, and two bedrooms on the third floor. The two bedrooms on the third floor are connected and share a bathroom. There is a privacy curtain (no door) between the two bedrooms, so they are not fully private. This would be perfect for a family who wishes to sleep on the same level.

The first wing extends along the street and has a gabled slate roof. You enter the front door and are greeted by an exposed steel and glass structure that contains the shared spaces for living, cooking, dining, and entertaining. The living room has a TV w/ Amazon Fire. The dining room table has seating for six. There’s also an eat-in kitchen table that seats four people. The kitchen features oversized slate countertops and custom cabinetry. It's fully equipped to cook and share meals together. There are modern appliances, a good tea selection, a Keurig, and a pour over coffee maker. We stock coffee for both, which you're welcome to use.

Above the kitchen is a loft office, which is accessed by the retractable staircase. The loft area features a skylight, glass and steel shelves, and exposed steel rafters. There is a desk and chair for setting up a workstation.

The guest bedroom is located below the kitchen in a finished portion of the basement. To get there, you take the stairs down from the living room, just past the solarium. The guest bedroom looks out onto the pool and surrounding patio. It has its own door to the pool area that opens to a wisteria arbor. It has a large TV w/ Amazon Fire and a bathroom with a large Italian shower and separate vanity.

The other wing of the home sits above the built-in three car garage. To get there, you take the staircase from the living room up to the second floor and enter a secondary living room with a sectional, TV w/Amazon Fire, balcony access overlooking the pool and gardens, and a full bathroom with jetted tub. A hallway connects the second living room to a bedroom. On the way, there is a stackable washer/dryer which you are free to use. This bedroom has a king-sized bed, mirrored closets, and lots of natural light.

The third floor has two bedrooms that are connected and share a bathroom. There is a privacy curtain (no door) between the two bedrooms, so they are not fully private. This would be perfect for a family who wishes to sleep on the same level. You first enter the main bedroom, which has a king-sized bed, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a separate double vanity, and a fully screened-in balcony with a hammock. The second bedroom is connected to the main bedroom and has two twin beds, a large exercise mat with weights, and mirrored closets.

The final stop is the rooftop terrace! To get there, climb the ship’s ladder from the third floor landing up to the terrace. The rooftop terrace, which can accommodate up to 5 people at a time, offers great views of the surrounding neighborhood and campus. It’s also a great place to watch the sunset and stargaze.


EXTERIOR SPACES:
The backyard has a private, seasonal, in-ground pool and large patio area. Complimentary pool towels, pool toys, and flotation devices may be found on the basement level in the “pool room” (adjacent to the guest bedroom). The patio has outdoor furniture, including a sectional and a dining table, so you can enjoy meals outdoors. Be sure to plug in the string lights around the pool at night to make the space even more magical!

Once you’ve cooled off, step around the pool’s privacy fence to admire the park-like gardens with stone paths and native plants.

You will have access to all spaces except the garage.

The property is unique and unlike anything I've ever experienced in a rental. Its location is absolutely perfect if you are in town for a sporting event, as it’s literally within walking distance of most campus sports.

Great four-day stay in Lawrence

KU graduation

My wife and grown children with my son’s friends stayed 3 nights in this dreamland castle. The kitchen was stocked with Keurig and drip coffee options as weak as welcome snacks. The courtyard around the pool was shaded by large trees and a garden and was a relaxing place for late afternoon conversations. My wife and I stayed downstairs off the pool and the rest were tucked away on the second and third floors so we were not awakened by late night arrivals. The large table off the LR was perfect for 8 to play cards. The driveway parking had space for up to 5 cars. Dylan and Sarabeth were caring hosts who assisted with raising the LR stairs to the study loft after we arrived and prompt responses for other inquiries. It is located minutes from campus and in a wooded neighborhood, ideal for walking. Thumbs up and we would certainly reserve this memory maker again!

Tietoa majoittajasta

Majoittaja: Sarabeth Morgan

Majoittajan profiilikuva
As proud KU alumni, my husband James and I live in Lawrence with our two daughters (10 & 12). I am an elementary gifted teacher, while James works as an architect and has an online business. During his time at KU, James studied under Dan Rockhill, the architect of our home. We enjoy gardening, biking, trips to the lake, exploring nature, and walking on campus (though our girls prefer to hoverboard!) We're excited to share our unique home with you!

Miksi majoittaja valitsi tÀmÀn majoituspaikan

Our University Heights neighborhood is nestled against the west side of the University of Kansas campus. The neighborhood is quiet and calm, and home to many current and retired KU professors. It's only a 5 minute walk from the house to campus! There are lots of activities that are within walking distance. One of our favorite things to do is simply walk the campus grounds, where you will find the iconic Campanile, Potter Lake, Marvin Grove, and numerous vistas of the surrounding landscape from atop Mount Oread. There are also two museums on campus that are open to the public, namely the Spencer Museum of Art, and the KU Natural History Museum. You'll also be within walking distance to the Allen Fieldhouse basketball stadium and the David Booth Kansas Memorial football stadium. Beyond campus, it's about a 6 minute drive to downtown "Mass Street", which is full of restaurants, independent retail stores, bars, and other venues. This house offers a great location for visiting both KU campus and downtown.

MikÀ tekee tÀstÀ majoituspaikasta ainutlaatuisen

This home is truly a one-of-a-kind, captivating architectural experience!
