This charming 2-story sits in one of Topeka's most convenient locations, just minutes from major medical facilities and Washburn University.

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.
