About this home
If you have ever dreamed of owning a short or mid-term rental, this home deserves serious consideration. Situated on a corner lot in historic Holliday Park, stunningly crafted and restored, this home offers the best of both worlds—timeless character paired with modern convenience. Thoughtfully rebuilt and completely renovated following a fire, it lives like new while preserving the soul of a classic beauty. From the moment you step inside, the sleek custom staircase sets the tone, hinting at the exceptional design and intention throughout. During its most recent chapter as a highly successful short- to mid-term rental, the home built an impressive following of loyal guests, and it is being offered as a true turn-key opportunity. All furnishings, décor, accessories, and hosting essentials currently in place will convey with the property—allowing a new owner to step seamlessly into ownership without months of setup or sourcing. The open-concept main floor living area features a cook’s dream kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an island made for gathering—perfect for cookie decorating parties, cooking demonstrations, or casual entertaining. A custom tile feature wall behind the stove adds just the right amount of flair, while the walk-in pantry, accented by an antique door, may be the envy of the city. The kitchen has proven itself not only beautiful, but functional—well suited for hosting guests, classes, or small events. Multiple inviting spaces throughout the home offer room for reading, crafting, or simply relaxing, all fully outfitted and ready for use. Enhancing the guest experience even further, eight bicycles convey with the property, offering an easy and fun way to explore the neighborhood. The home is conveniently located near designated bicycle routes, making rides to the park, downtown, and surrounding areas both accessible and enjoyable. Thoughtful details such as antique kitchen cornices and reclaimed original doors in the main-floor half bath and upstairs full bath provide subtle nods to the home’s early era, beautifully blended with modern comforts. The main-floor primary suite is spacious and luxurious, featuring a spa-like en-suite bath and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Tucked inside the closet is a delightful surprise—a hidden door leading to the basement that adds a touch of whimsy to the thoughtful design. The bedroom opens directly to the backyard, providing easy access to the hot tub for effortless relaxation. Upstairs, light-filled bedrooms offer generous space to unwind, including a large bedroom with an en-suite bath. A conveniently located laundry area, an impressive hall bath, and a cozy sitting area create a flexible upper level perfect for both guests and owners. Outdoors, the charm continues. The gracefully curved front porch overlooks Holliday Park, while custom fencing was designed to complement both the park and the neighboring home. The backyard is wrapped in an eight-foot privacy fence and features a pergola ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings. The patio, crafted from original street bricks, is a one-of-a-kind feature that adds another layer of history to the property. For those interested in continuing its use as a short-term rental, existing March guest reservations may convey to the new owner, and the current owners will continue to obtain the City of Topeka Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allowing for small events—offering flexibility and increased income potential. With updated electrical, new HVAC with separate units for each floor, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout, this home allows for an easy and confident transition. Located near the park, downtown, and offering beautiful views of the Capitol, this remarkable property blends character, comfort, and opportunity.
