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. 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! Then step around the pool’s privacy fence to admire the property's park-like garden bursting with native plants.

As proud KU alumni, my husband James and I live in Lawrence with our two daughters (11 & 13). 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. We're excited to share our unique home with you!

Close to downtown and most importantly- KU! 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.
