You won't want to leave. The white picket fence and grassy front yard would be the perfect spot for Tag or Baseball Toss, except that 16 steps away, you have an entire park to accommodate these activities! Newland Park is directly outside your front door. Imagine a bike ride to the beach, a swim in your pool, and a birthday celebration at the park. Every house has a story, and 19691 Topeka Lane is a story of joy. It's the type of home that stays in the family for generations. The long-term owner made significant changes to the floor plan over the years. Walls came down, creating a wide-open kitchen experience that seamlessly connects the living room, Dining room, family room, and backyard—ideally suited for entertaining.
The kitchen sits smack in the middle of the first floor with sleek quartz counters, oversized windows, custom cabinets with unique hardware, a range that keeps you in the mix with guests as you cook, a curious blend of farmhouse chic and good old-fashioned charm. Two great rooms flank the kitchen, each with a custom mantle over a gas/wood-burning fireplace. The dining room is at the kitchen entrance, and a large bar overhang provides casual seating for the length of the countertop. A utility sink creates a wet bar area that is perfect for entertaining. The backyard is tranquil and private—the pool is fitted with a new heater and still has the original diving board. A built-in pond brings the excellent waterfall sound. There are four bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms. All of the bedrooms are spacious. The primary bedroom space is immense; the owners planned a grand reconfiguration and built a 180-foot master closet along the back of the bedroom. The plan was to install a three-sided fireplace in the bedroom where the current wardrobe is and enlarge the main bathroom.
The fireplace was obtained and is available for the new buyer if they want to stick with the remodel plan. This home is move-in ready with plenty of upside potential. Topeka is a house to invest in and hold on to for generations. The excellent Solar panels will save you plenty of money, and they are owned, not leased. Pull-down stairs lead to an attic with excellent storage and a temp-controlled attic fan. The furnace is new. The location is ideal; Newland Elementary school is within the tract; the park has a walkway that leads to the school and seems perfect for the big day that the training wheels come off. Oh, the memories you will make at this sweet, eclectic home.
