Some neighborhoods simply feel different the moment you arrive. This is highly coveted McFarland Farms...The gated entrance, mature landscaping, winding streets, and peaceful setting create the feeling of a private retreat, yet you're only minutes from Gage Park, the Kansas Children's Discovery Center, medical centers, shopping, and downtown Topeka. It was this rare combination of security, beauty, and convenience that convinced the current owners they had found home. With no special taxes, maintenance-provided amenities, and one of Topeka's most desirable neighborhoods, this is luxury living that gives you your weekends back. Inside, the open floor plan was designed for gathering. Rich hardwood floors lead through the great room with a gas fireplace into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops and generous workspace. The screened porch extends naturally from the main living area, becoming an outdoor room of its own where evening shade and mature trees create a peaceful place to unwind after work or enjoy dinner with friends. A whole-house SONOS sound system lets your favorite music follow you from room to room and even outdoors, creating the perfect backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. Recent improvements, including updated flooring colors, a new deck, retaining wall enhancements, and a whole-home humidifier, further enhance the home's comfort and appeal. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, including two spacious bedrooms in the finished lower level. Downstairs feels more like an entertainment destination than a basement, complete with a theater room featuring a KAV system, a finished bar, and a large living room that easily accommodates movie nights, game days, celebrations, or overnight guests. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped backyard framed by mature trees that provide privacy and welcome evening shade across both the screened porch, new deck, and patio. The setting feels established and inviting, creating an outdoor space you'll actually use throughout much of the year. McFarland Farms offers a lifestyle that's difficult to duplicate, with lawn care, snow removal, neighborhood pool, scenic ponds, walking trails, and trash service all included through the HOA. Combined with no special taxes and an outstanding central Topeka location, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy spacious luxury living with remarkably little maintenance. Sight unseen offers may be accepted by the Seller. The Showing Begin Date is subject to change.

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. Don't hesitate to become the next chapter in this home's exceptional story. Some photos are digitally staged.

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.
