2801 SW 21st St Step into a home full of character, charm, and local history! This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick ranch offers timeless appeal with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and delightful built-in features waiting to be discovered around every corner. The spacious living room welcomes you with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room provides the perfect setting for family dinners or entertaining guests. Enjoy peaceful mornings or relaxing evenings in the screened-in porch overlooking the generous half-acre lot. Downstairs, the clean and expansive basement features a second wood-burning fireplace and offers abundant storage or the opportunity to create additional living or recreation space. A single-car garage with convenient pass-through access adds extra functionality. Located directly across from Romig Park, this property combines privacy and convenience with its unique private drive. Rich in local history, the home was originally built to house VA physicians serving the nearby campus and only became available for private ownership in more recent years. Many longtime residents also recognize these homes from the 21st Street expansion, when the original front of the home became the rear, and KDOT constructed the private drive that now serves as the home's access to the new "front". This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Topeka history while enjoying the comfort, quality, and charm of a classic brick ranch in a park-side setting.
