Versatile Property with Residential Zoning (R2) A rare and flexible opportunity awaits! This well-maintained church building, located on an R2-zoned lot in the heart of Topeka, is ideal for conversion into a residential duplex, single-family home, or live/work space (subject to city approval). Within a few blocks of Washburn University. Originally constructed in 1960 by the Reformed Latter-Day Saints and acquired in 1994 by Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church, this property carries a rich spiritual legacy. Over the past three decades, numerous improvements have been made, including: 1998 – Installed two new entry doors, one rear door, and new roof gutters 1999 – Upgraded to 200-amp electrical service, added duct heating and a new water heater 2000 – Installed hardwood flooring in the altar and nave, tile in the fellowship hall, and a baseboard heater in the nursery The structure awaits a residential investor, or someone with a vision to transform this building into something entirely new.
Randolph, located between NE Seward Ave and NE Quincy St, is a residential and industrial Topeka neighborhood with rail-side warehouses and modest grid-street blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the NE Seward Ave corridor near the rail lines, where loading docks, small shops, and wide streets set a working-day rhythm. Housing reads as practical and compact, with older single-story homes and small yards mixed beside light-industrial parcels. The landscape stays open and utilitarian, with long sightlines and big-sky edges. Daily life orbits local streets rather than a single retail strip, and the setting feels defined by movement and logistics.
