    What's special

    Covered front porchAttached single-car garageArched walkwaysRich hardwood floors
    Fall in love with this storybook 4-bedroom, 2-bath home tucked in the heart of Topeka’s beloved Elmhurst neighborhood. Known for its tree-lined streets, vibrant fall colors, and one-of-a-kind character, Elmhurst is one of those places that feels special the moment you arrive. Built in 1910, this home is full of that old-time charm you can’t recreate—arched walkways, rich hardwood floors, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a classic mantle in the formal living room. The formal dining room is spacious and perfect for gatherings, while the covered front porch is the ideal spot to unwind and take in the beautiful scenery. The main floor features two bedrooms and a full bath, including a large primary suite with three small closets and a darling sitting area complete with a built-in bench and extra storage. Upstairs you’ll find two more oversized bedrooms and another full bath. Fresh carpet complements the gorgeous hardwoods on both levels, and the unfinished basement offers laundry and plenty of storage space. Out back, you’ll find a fenced yard with just the right amount of space and an attached single-car garage. All major inspections—including a full home inspection and sewer camera—have already been completed and are available upon request. That’s a savings of nearly $700 for the buyer, plus peace of mind knowing the home’s condition before writing an offer. This Elmhurst beauty is the perfect blend of history, warmth, and comfort—all nestled among some of the most stunning mature trees Topeka has to offer.
