Showings begin Sunday, August 16, 2026. Imagine starting the morning with coffee on the screened porch, gathering around the fireplace beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, and ending the day on the deck overlooking a treed backyard and western sky. This Lake Sherwood home gives you room to spread out without losing the spaces that bring everyone together—with an updated open main floor, main-floor primary suite, screened porch and large deck, four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a finished walkout basement that nearly creates another level of living. Fresh wood-look LVP, newer carpet, black stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful established neighborhood make it feel ready to simply move in and enjoy. Step inside and the height of the great room immediately gets your attention. The vaulted ceiling and fireplace give the room a dramatic sense of scale, while the updated flooring carries you naturally toward the dining and kitchen spaces. The kitchen is made for conversation, with granite countertops, an attractive backsplash, black stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, and breakfast nook—so cooking doesn't mean being separated from everything happening around you. When the weather is too nice to stay inside, you have choices. Move dinner to the screened porch, step onto the large deck to enjoy the western view, or head down to the backyard. Mature trees give the outdoor spaces an established, peaceful feel, and the backyard treehouse adds another bit of character you simply don't find at every house. The main-floor primary suite makes everyday living especially convenient, with a spacious walk-in closet and private bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide their own distinct area of the home. Then there's the walkout basement—and this is where the house gets even bigger. The expansive rec room has enough space to create multiple gathering and entertainment areas without feeling crowded. A fourth bedroom, full bath, bonus room, generous storage, and direct access to the covered patio give the lower level tremendous versatility and make it feel like a true continuation of the home. Set in the desirable Lake Sherwood area, this is the kind of home where the spaces you'll use most are also the ones you'll enjoy most: an impressive great room, social kitchen, screened porch, treed backyard, expansive walkout basement, and plenty of room to settle in and make everyday life feel a little more enjoyable.

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.
