This charming 2-story sits in one of Topeka's most convenient locations, just minutes from major medical facilities and Washburn University. From the large covered front porch to the fenced backyard with storage shed, this home has the kind of livable details that make everyday life easier. Inside you'll find updated floors on the main floor, warm hardwood upstairs, a formal dining room, and central air throughout. The full basement is clean, bright, and actually a pleasant surprise. Off-street parking, three bedrooms, great bones, and a location that's tough to match at any price point.
