1400 SW 3rd St, Topeka, KS 66606

From the moment you walk up the charming walkway to the arched front door, this house feels like something straight out of a storybook. It has that unmistakable old-English cottage feel — a little bit Harry Potter, a little bit storybook, and completely one of a kind. Once you step inside, the character just keeps going, with a gorgeous Craftsman-style staircase making a beautiful first impression. Built in 1929, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has preserved so much of the charm and craftsmanship that makes older homes truly special. Beautiful arched doorways throughout the main floor, original hardwood floors, built-in shelving in the living room, fresh paint, and brand-new carpet create the perfect mix of historic character and a clean, move-in-ready feel. The main floor features a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, main-floor laundry, and a charming kitchen with lots of cabinetry and a cozy eat-in nook. All appliances currently in the home stay. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are together, each with great space and generous closets, along with the full bathroom. The full unfinished basement offers tons of storage and potential. Outside, the oversized corner lot, mature landscaping, fenced yard, and detached two-car garage complete the picture. The cottage-like setting is peaceful, established, and honestly just a little bit magical. This is not your cookie-cutter house. It’s cool, unique, clean, move-in ready, and full of the kind of character you simply can’t recreate. You can feel nearly 100 years of history the minute you walk through the door — and honestly, they just don’t make them like this anymore.
