About This Home

Some neighborhoods simply feel different the moment you arrive. This is highly coveted McFarland Farms...The gated entrance, mature landscaping, winding streets, and peaceful setting create the feeling of a private retreat, yet you're only minutes from Gage Park, the Kansas Children's Discovery Center, medical centers, shopping, and downtown Topeka. It was this rare combination of security, beauty, and convenience that convinced the current owners they had found home. With no special taxes, maintenance-provided amenities, and one of Topeka's most desirable neighborhoods, this is luxury living that gives you your weekends back. Inside, the open floor plan was designed for gathering. Rich hardwood floors lead through the great room with a gas fireplace into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops and generous workspace. The screened porch extends naturally from the main living area, becoming an outdoor room of its own where evening shade and mature trees create a peaceful place to unwind after work or enjoy dinner with friends. A whole-house SONOS sound system lets your favorite music follow you from room to room and even outdoors, creating the perfect backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. Recent improvements, including updated flooring colors, a new deck, retaining wall enhancements, and a whole-home humidifier, further enhance the home's comfort and appeal. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, including two spacious bedrooms in the finished lower level. Downstairs feels more like an entertainment destination than a basement, complete with a theater room featuring a KAV system, a finished bar, and a large living room that easily accommodates movie nights, game days, celebrations, or overnight guests. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped backyard framed by mature trees that provide privacy and welcome evening shade across both the screened porch, new deck, and patio. The setting feels established and inviting, creating an outdoor space you'll actually use throughout much of the year. McFarland Farms offers a lifestyle that's difficult to duplicate, with lawn care, snow removal, neighborhood pool, scenic ponds, walking trails, and trash service all included through the HOA. Combined with no special taxes and an outstanding central Topeka location, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy spacious luxury living with remarkably little maintenance.
