Tucked into the tall trees of Capricorn Woods, this home lives like a quiet retreat without giving up convenience. Mornings start with light drifting through the branches as you step onto the Trex deck—coffee in hand, the woods still, the world not quite awake yet. It's the kind of place where you feel tucked away, where privacy comes naturally, and where the extra detached two-car garage gives you the freedom to work on a project, store your equipment, or spread out in a way few homes allow. Evenings settle in just as peacefully, with the modern metal fenced yard catching the last bits of shade and the sense that you're living in a clearing carved just for you. And the best part? Lake Shawnee—one of Topeka's gems—is only minutes away when you want a longer walk, a bike ride, or a moment by the water. Inside, the home opens up immediately into a main living space that feels airy and relaxed. 10-foot ceilings, rich oak trim, and fresh paint create an atmosphere that's warm but never heavy. The Custom Woods cherry cabinetry anchors the kitchen with a kind of craftsmanship you don't see often anymore. Granite counters and stainless appliances give it a modern confidence, and the openness makes cooking feel like part of the conversation—not something tucked away in a corner. Whether you're serving dinner, catching up at the table, or just moving through the rhythm of a busy morning, the layout makes life flow effortlessly. The primary suite is a quiet getaway at the end of the day. A generous walk-in closet keeps everything organized, and the jacuzzi tub offers a moment of calm when you want it most. Main-floor laundry keeps daily routines simple, and updated fixtures throughout give the home a refreshed, cared-for feeling. Every detail reflects a home that has been lived in with pride. Downstairs, the finished basement becomes its own world—a comfortable place to unwind, create, or spread out. The large family room welcomes movie nights or game tables, and the egress bedroom offers a proper place for guests. Two additional non-conforming rooms add flexibility for office space, fitness, hobbies, or storage—whatever your life asks for. The space feels grounded and inviting, with plenty of room to grow into. Step outside again and you understand why people love living here. The stainless-steel fenced yard frames a blend of open lawn and mature trees, giving you room to relax without giving up privacy. Even the practical upgrades contribute to the everyday ease: Generac whole-home generator, leaf-filter gutter guards, sprinkler system with subsurface drains, newer HVAC, newer roof, and the reliability of Anderson windows. This is a home that handles the seasons as gracefully as it handles daily life. Close to grocery, restaurants, and the offerings of Lake Shawnee, yet surrounded by nature, this home delivers the rare kind of lifestyle where you can live quietly, live comfortably, and still be connected to everything you need.
