Check out this stunning two-story historic home that perfectly blends old-world charm with modern updates. You'll fall in love with the beautiful wood floors, arched entryways, and built-in bookshelves that whisper stories of the past. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone. The large living room opens up to a cozy covered porch, and the kitchen is a dream with new cabinets, granite countertops, and a butcher block island. The primary bedroom even has a spacious sleeping porch attached—perfect for lazy mornings. The basement is unfinished but has had professional foundation support recently added. The oversized garage, with its new siding and doors, is a great bonus. The previous owner went all out with updates, including new electrical wiring, plumbing, windows, and complete kitchen and bathroom renovations, plus a new sewer line. Situated on a corner lot with a fenced yard, this home is ready for its next chapter.
Central Park, located between SW 6th Ave and SW 10th Ave, is a historic and walkable Topeka neighborhood with a leafy park core and a grid of mature streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Central Park itself, where shaded paths, playground energy, and porch-lined blocks set the daily rhythm. Early-20th-century houses—Craftsman bungalows, foursquares, and brick cottages—give the streets a consistent, lived-in texture. The park’s lawns and courts shape an outdoors-forward routine, while nearby civic buildings add a steady weekday pulse. Sidewalks and short blocks keep errands and evening strolls on foot. Tree canopy and pocket gardens soften the urban edges.
