Now $765,000 - A NEW REASON TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK! If this home was just outside your search before, it may be time to put it back on your list! There are homes that check the boxes... and then there are homes that redefine what home can be. The current owners often say this property checked every box for the season of life they were in—privacy, nature, entertainment, relaxation, room to gather, and room to simply breathe. Set on more than three wooded acres on paved road in the Washburn Rural School District, this is where mornings begin with sunlight pouring through the front entry and a wall of windows framing nothing but trees and acres. Afternoons are spent in the bright walkout basement and beside the saltwater pool, evenings unfold beneath the covered outdoor living spaces, and movie nights happen in what may very well be Topeka's Best Home Theater. It's the kind of property that makes vacations feel optional because so much of what you love doing is already waiting for you at home. The setting is remarkably private, yet you're only about five minutes from Highway 470. Wildlife wanders through the woods beyond your backyard while the north-facing rear of the home creates one of its greatest luxuries—comfortable outdoor living throughout the summer. The pool, patio, deck, and refurbished outdoor kitchen enjoy natural shade for much of the day, making afternoons and evenings outside noticeably cooler than many backyard settings. Beneath the deck, the protected patio creates yet another outdoor room where rain showers become part of the atmosphere rather than the reason to go inside. Inside, the home was designed for gathering. The updated kitchen opens naturally into bright living spaces where conversations flow as easily as the floor plan itself. One of the owners' favorite daily moments is walking in through the garage and immediately looking through the back wall of windows across their own land and into the woods beyond. Everywhere you turn, nature becomes part of the home's décor. One of the home's most unique features is the oversized lower-level two-car garage. Beyond storing vehicles, it's become an incredible flex space. Open both garage doors on a cool morning and it transforms into a home gym overlooking your property. Others may envision a workshop, hobby area, golf simulator, additional entertaining space, or pool house. It adds an entirely different dimension to how this property can be enjoyed. The extra large custom theater room is unlike anything you'll find in most homes. Professionally designed with tiered seating, acoustic treatments, immersive sound, and projector-quality presentation, it creates unforgettable family movie nights, championship watch parties, and memories that simply don't happen in an ordinary media room. The nearly 5,000 finished square feet provide five bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple gathering spaces, and a total of five garage bays. Recent improvements—including the saltwater pool conversion, newer HVAC, updated flooring, fresh interior paint, refurbished outdoor kitchen, and newer roof—allow the next owner to focus less on projects and more on enjoying the lifestyle this property was built to provide. Privacy without isolation. Nature without sacrificing convenience. Entertainment without leaving home. This is more than a beautiful house on acreage. It's a place that quietly changes the way you spend your evenings, your weekends, and ultimately, your life.

Designed by renown Topeka architect W. E. Glover and completed in 1926, this is one of those fabulous early 20th century homes you come across once in a blue moon. It is located on a wide, tree-lined street just blocks from what was then Washburn College. College Avenue was much wider than other streets to accommodate the street cars of the era and was shaded by tall, arching elm trees. The home is home is a picture-perfect example of the two-story brick Colonial Revival style. Center hall with a switchback staircase to the second floor, perfect window symmetry as viewed from the exterior, high roof, dormers, back stairway from the kitchen area to the second floor, butler's pantry and so much more. The main floor has living and dining rooms, the updated kitchen with laundry in a closet, a sunroom and what was the side screened porch now finished as interior space. All four bedrooms, one of which is a sleeping porch, are located on the second floor. The primary bedroom has an en suite bath with a jet tub as well as a low threshold shower. The backyard wood deck and mature, low maintenance landscaping complete the exterior appeal. The home is located just a few blocks from Washburn University which offers more than university level classes--the Sunflower Music Festival, art and music summer camps, libraries, sports games, concerts, plays, art exhibits, lectures and walking paths just to name a few of the many opportunities.

Nearly everything has already been done for you: new furnace, new central air, updated electrical, updated plumbing, brand-new kitchen, completely remodeled bathroom, new paint, and new flooring throughout. Wilson offers the rare combination of extensive remodeling, walkable neighborhood charm, and a brand-new oversized 22x25 two-car garage in one of Topeka’s most interesting up-and-coming areas. ***Stainless steel kitchen appliances to be provided with full price offer.*** This is the kind of older home buyers hope to find—full of original character, but without the overwhelming deferred maintenance that usually comes with it. Set in a neighborhood where homes are actively being restored and improved, this property offers a lifestyle that feels different from newer subdivisions. Walk to local favorites like the Brass Rail, Pizza Parlor, Abigail’s, or nearby Santa Fe Park and enjoy the kind of neighborhood atmosphere where front porches still matter and people actually know the local businesses around them. The area has an old-soul charm mixed with growing momentum that continues attracting buyers looking for something more unique and connected. Inside, the home feels surprisingly spacious thanks to large rooms, tall ceilings, oversized openings, and beautiful pocket doors between the living and dining rooms. Natural light pours through the east-facing sun porch, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee, plants, reading, or simply slowing down before the day begins. The covered front porch offers another comfortable place to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood in the evenings. One of the hidden opportunities here is upstairs. The attic space offers surprisingly tall ceilings and a tremendous amount of usable area. The current owners had considered finishing the space themselves, and there appears to be potential for roughly 500 additional finished square feet—or possibly much more depending on your vision. Beyond the cosmetic remodel, the practical improvements are just as impressive. The newly built oversized garage with alley access provides excellent parking, storage, workshop, or hobby space, plus there is additional rear parking as well. Basement storage, an American Home Shield warranty through November 2026, and a transferable 5-year Roof Maxx warranty provide additional peace of mind. And unlike many older homes, the yard is intentionally manageable—you can realistically mow it in about 15 minutes and spend the rest of your evening actually enjoying the neighborhood instead of maintaining it. The location remains incredibly convenient too. Stormont Vail and KU St. Francis hospitals are both just minutes away, along with downtown Topeka, NOTO, Highway 24, and I-70 access. This home blends old-neighborhood charm with modern reliability in a way that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. Listing Agent is related to Seller.
