The iconic Topeka home which has become known as the "Modern Manor" is being offered after extensive renovations and updates. Built of block masonry that will stand the test of time, it includes 6 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms and 3 half bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen was completely gutted and remodeled in 2021. The 40' long space features custom cabinets from "Heart and Home", crystal and quartz countertops, and Wolf sub/zero appliances. The spacious interior features 3 grand fireplaces, 1 in basement speakeasy, 1 in the large formal living room, and one in oak paneled library with vaulted ceilings. Sitting on 2.1 acres the back yard feels more like a home in Hollywood than Topeka. The pool is 60x20 concrete, beautiful Tennessee flagstone walkways, and terraced patios. A 4 car garage and circle drive provide ample off the street parking. Other practical and valuable updates include all new electrical service and HVAC system. This home is one of a kind with a storied past. A magical place to live and ready for its next steward.
