Property Description

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.
