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.

Once in a blue moon, one of the fabulous early 20th century homes in the College Hill neighborhood near Washburn University comes on the market. This is one of those fabulous homes. It was designed by renown Topeka architect W. E. Glover and completed in 1926 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. Don't hesitate to become the next chapter in this home's exceptional story. Some photos are digitally staged.
