***BACK ON THE MARKET AFTER 60 DAYS OF WAITING FOR A BUYER TO SELL A HOME IN FLORIDA WITH NO SUCCESS. INSPECTIONS ON FILE AND AVAILABLE.*** Tucked into the tall trees of Capricorn Woods, this home lives like a quiet retreat without giving up convenience. Mornings start with light drifting through the branches as you step onto the Trex deck—coffee in hand, the woods still, the world not quite awake yet. It’s the kind of place where you feel tucked away, where privacy comes naturally, and where the extra detached two-car garage gives you the freedom to work on a project, store your equipment, or spread out in a way few homes allow. Evenings settle in just as peacefully, with the modern metal fenced yard catching the last bits of shade and the sense that you're living in a clearing carved just for you. And the best part? Lake Shawnee—one of Topeka’s gems—is only minutes away when you want a longer walk, a bike ride, or a moment by the water. Inside, the home opens up immediately into a main living space that feels airy and relaxed. 10-foot ceilings, rich oak trim, and fresh paint create an atmosphere that’s warm but never heavy. The Custom Woods cherry cabinetry anchors the kitchen with a kind of craftsmanship you don’t see often anymore. Modern layout and openness make cooking feel like part of the conversation—not something tucked away in a corner. Whether you’re serving dinner, catching up at the table, or just moving through the rhythm of a busy morning, the layout makes life flow effortlessly. The primary suite is a quiet getaway at the end of the day. A generous walk-in closet keeps everything organized, and the jacuzzi tub offers a moment of calm when you want it most. Main-floor laundry keeps daily routines simple, and updated fixtures throughout give the home a refreshed, cared-for feeling. Every detail reflects a home that has been lived in with pride. Downstairs, the finished basement becomes its own world—a comfortable place to unwind, create, or spread out. The large family room welcomes movie nights or game tables, and the egress bedroom offers a proper place for guests. Two additional non-conforming rooms add flexibility for office space, fitness, hobbies, or storage—whatever your life asks for. The space feels grounded and inviting, with plenty of room to grow into. Step outside again and you understand why people love living here. The stainless-steel fenced yard frames a blend of open lawn and mature trees, giving you room to relax without giving up privacy. Even the practical upgrades contribute to the everyday ease: Generac whole-home generator, leaf-filter gutter guards, sprinkler system with subsurface drains, newer HVAC, newer roof, and the reliability of Anderson windows. This is a home that handles the seasons as gracefully as it handles daily life. Close to grocery, restaurants, and the offerings of Lake Shawnee, yet surrounded by nature, this home delivers the rare kind of lifestyle where you can live quietly, live comfortably, and still be connected to everything you need.

Picture this: you’re driving home after a long day, turning into a peaceful cul-de-sac, where your A-frame retreat awaits. Step inside, and you’re greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. The living room feels like the perfect blend of spacious and cozy—a place to kick back, host friends, or just take in the beauty of your surroundings. Out back, the $78,000 deck and screened porch, crafted by Kraz Construction, invite you to savor the simple joys of morning coffee as the sun rises or a cool drink in the evening shade. Overlooking the lush, tree-lined yard, this space was made for quiet moments and lively gatherings alike. From here, you can picture your dogs running freely in the $22,000 fenced backyard, installed by Kent Fence, with plenty of room for play and even a dedicated space just for them. Upstairs, the loft-style primary bedroom is your sanctuary. Open the glass wall to connect with the living room below, or step onto your private deck to watch the world wake up. The spiral staircase adds a touch of fun and whimsy as it leads to the walkout basement—ready for you to create a custom space that fits your dreams. Set between Topeka and Lawrence, this home offers quick commutes and a quiet country escape. It’s more than a house; it’s a lifestyle—one where mornings feel peaceful, evenings feel calm, and every day feels like home. --

The best older homes don't force you to choose between character & convenience. They let you have both. It's hard to find a 1940s stone home that feels this open, but the kitchen, DR & LR flow together naturally, creating a layout that feels welcoming, connected, & designed for the way people live today. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated where it matters most, including a beautifully remodeled kitchen, a reimagined primary suite & ensuite bath, a dramatically expanded composite deck, & refreshed basement living spaces. Nestled in the heart of Westwood on one of Topeka's most picturesque streets, this beautifully updated home blends timeless architecture, mature trees, & neighborhood charm w/the modern improvements buyers are searching for. The kitchen has been extensively updated w/quality cabinetry, granite countertops, an island with seating, & abundant workspace that naturally becomes the gathering place for family & friends. The adjacent dining room is large enough for holiday dinners & celebrations, while the expanded living room addition provides a spacious place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy everyday life. One of the home's most unique features is the beautiful FP built w/stone gathered from a Kansas pasture, adding warmth & authenticity that simply can't be replicated. Hardwood floors, built-ins, & thoughtful details throughout the home preserve the character that makes Westwood so beloved. Outside, the owners have transformed the backyard experience. The oversized composite deck sits on the shady side of the home, overlooking a collection of large neighboring backyards that create an unusually open feel for an in-town property. Summer evenings naturally migrate here. Whether you're grilling, hosting friends, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, or simply watching the trees move in the breeze, this space feels like an outdoor living room. The landscaping has been thoughtfully improved, a driveway gate provides convenient backyard access, the HVAC equipment has been screened from view, & the conversion from wood siding to stucco gives the home a clean, timeless exterior appearance. Upstairs, the primary suite has been completely reimagined to function the way today's buyers expect. The bedroom feels larger & more practical, closet space has been expanded and concealed behind attractive barn doors, & the ensuite bath now feels like a true owner's retreat with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, private water closet, updated flooring, & modern finishes throughout. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized & share a large bathroom that provides comfort & convenience for everyday life. The basement has also seen significant improvements. New luxury vinyl plank flooring creates a fresh, modern feel, while newly added egress windows bring natural light into both the lower-level living room & bedroom. What was once simply bonus space now functions as true living space, including a legitimate fourth BR option. An electric fireplace adds warmth & ambiance, creating another inviting gathering area for movie nights, hobbies, guests, or everyday relaxation. The list of improvements extends well beyond cosmetics. The master suite was completely reconfigured, exterior paint & stucco were updated, new shades were installed, additional closet space was created, egress windows were added, landscaping was improved, & a Vivint security and camera system was installed & is owned. The monitoring service remains surprisingly affordable and the new owner should definitely inquire. Westwood remains one of Topeka's most cherished neighborhoods for good reason. Wide tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, & a sense of community that has endured for generations create a lifestyle that feels increasingly difficult to find. This is the rare home that successfully combines old-world charm and craftsmanship with a floor plan designed for modern living. Character without compromise. History without sacrificing convenience.
