The Kenwood neighborhood is known for its period homes and especially for the airplane bungalow and 2-story styles popularized by Topeka's own L. F. Garlinghouse Company. While not an airplane bungalow, this classic 2-story beauty has retained many of its historic features while incorporating important updates, including the water and sewer lines and laundry on the main floor. The grounds, lushly landscaped as they might have been during the home's infancy, provide a natural escape and more. As a permaculture yard, the landscaping is designed to be self-sustaining while producing food, fuel and other useful products, all while minimizing waste and pollution. Fruit trees abound. Escape the noise of the day beside the water feature or sitting among the plantings and bird feeders. If you value period homes and neighborhoods, mature landscaping and proximity to the Potwin neighborhood with its holiday parades, festivities and decorating, this is the home for you where the past and present intersect.
