Property Description
Designed by renown Topeka architect W. E. Glover and completed in 1926, this is one of those fabulous early 20th century homes you come across once in a blue moon. It is located 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.
