PRICED UNDER SHAWNEE COUNTY APPRAISAL! Welcome to this rare find — a ranch-style home on just over an acre in the highly desirable Washburn Rural School District! This property is a dream for car enthusiasts or hobbyists, featuring a two-car garage on the main level, a two-car basement garage, plus a 24x20 outbuilding with concrete floors and electricity. Inside, you’ll find three large main-floor bedrooms, including a primary suite with a ¾ en suite bathroom (shower, no tub). The home offers plenty of living space with a formal living room, a spacious family room, and a versatile all-seasons room that walks out to a large deck overlooking the beautiful open property. The kitchen is generously sized with abundant oak cabinetry, and all appliances stay. Just off the kitchen is a huge laundry room that doubles as a functional mudroom space, complete with another ¾ bathroom (shower, no tub) — perfect for busy households. The basement offers even more possibilities with a rec area ready for finishing and two nonconforming bedrooms for bonus space. Additional updates include a pre-listing whole-house inspection (available upon request) and a recently pumped septic system — giving buyers added peace of mind. While the home needs some cosmetic updates (fresh paint, flooring, and bathroom facelifts), the possibilities are endless to make this solid, spacious property truly your own. Don’t miss your chance to own a large corner-lot property with unmatched garage and workshop space in a prime Topeka location!

RR-1
Residential Reserve District
This district is established to provide for a transitional area between urbanized development with intensive activity areas, and the rural-agricultural areas; and which is expected to become urbanized in subsequent planning periods. The limitations of this district are intended to allow for the gradual development of urban uses and activities therefore providing for the coexistence with agricultural farmland activities based upon the availability and extension of municipal facilities and services. Such urban development will be permitted at appropriate intensity-density levels to assure that public improvement expenditures are appropriately planned for in advance of the conversion to urban uses.
