About this home
Step into a masterfully preserved Victorian treasure in the heart of Topeka’s iconic Potwin Place Historic District. Built in 1887, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with an additional bonus room that can serve as a 4th bedroom, office, or studio. This stunning masterpiece offers approximately 2,863 sq ft of irreplaceable 19th-century craftsmanship blended with thoughtful modern upgrades that make it a truly livable landmark. From the sweeping wrap-around concrete porch to the striking turreted architecture and the beautiful picture window facing the street, the curb appeal is unmistakable. Bay windows along the side elevation add charm and natural light while maintaining the home’s elegant historic façade. A rare bonus in Potwin, this property also features an oversized detached two-car garage, offering excellent storage and convenience—an amenity not commonly found in homes of this era. Inside, the craftsmanship is breathtaking — narrow-plank oak floors, ornate custom millwork, original hardware, detailed glasswork, and even functional speaking tubes showcase the remarkable preservation of this home. The formal front & rear parlors offer flexible living spaces, filled with natural light and provide room for entertaining or quiet evenings in a home filled with history. You’ll find two stunning sunrooms rarely seen in homes of this age: The main-level sunroom, wrapped in windows and drenched in natural light—perfect as a reading room, art studio, office, or morning retreat. The second-floor sunroom doubles as the home’s spacious bonus room—filled with natural light and elevated neighborhood views—making it an ideal potential 4th bedroom, office, studio, or retreat. The kitchen, updated in 2021 is a standout: custom cherry-wood cabinetry, premium stone countertops and a built-in, professional-style fridge unit built into custom-cabinets blend seamlessly together, and all carefully selected to honor the home’s historic roots while delivering 21st-century performance. A charming screened-in porch, accessible from the kitchen provides an insect-free outdoor sanctuary perfect for summer nights or gentle rain. Outside enjoy a spacious composite Trex-style deck, crafted for long-term durability and low maintenance. Tiered patios, mature landscaping, a whole-yard sprinkler system, and buried utilities complete the outdoor experience and keep the historic streetscape clean. A rare find in Potwin—this home features a walkout basement, offering easy access to storage, the yard and provides an enormous asset for everyday living. Located in the National Register–listed Potwin Place Historic District, the home qualifies for the Kansas State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit. The front parlor once hosted the 1930 wedding of Alf and Theo Landon, adding a meaningful chapter to its history. Homes like this rarely come to market. With its extraordinary original craftsmanship, generous modern living spaces, two light-filled sunrooms, screened porch, composite deck, large lot, and rare oversized garage—all set within Topeka’s most cherished historic neighborhood—411 SW Woodlawn Ave stands in a class of its own. This is more than a home; it is a living piece of history, thoughtfully updated for today, offering story, substance, and an everyday ease that is nearly impossible to find in a Victorian of this era. For the buyer seeking character, beauty, and a landmark property with true lasting value, this is the one that simply cannot be replicated. Some photos are virtually staged.
