Some homes simply check the boxes. This one creates a lifestyle. Nestled on a beautiful 1.3-acre double lot overlooking Lake Jivaro, this custom ranch offers the space, craftsmanship, and versatility that are increasingly difficult to find. From the moment you step inside, the refinished hardwood floors set the tone with a striking cross-cut entry and custom border inlay, while detailed millwork and a handcrafted fireplace mantel showcase the level of care that went into the home's design. The heart of the home is an expansive kitchen where custom cabinetry, an oversized island, and generous dining space create a natural gathering place. Large Andersen casement windows with built-in blinds frame peaceful lake views, filling the home with natural light while providing energy efficiency throughout the seasons. The thoughtfully designed main level is complemented by a fully finished basement that expands the home's flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. In addition to four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, you'll find a versatile front room that can be used as a private office, formal dining room, or additional family room. The home also features multiple living and recreation spaces, a theater or game room, a mechanical room, a laundry room with convenient laundry chutes, two walk-in pantries, and abundant storage around nearly every corner. Whether you're hosting friends for the big game, working from home, or simply enjoying a quiet evening by the gas fireplace, every space has been designed to be both functional and inviting. Step outside and the experience continues. Nearly 700 square feet of deck space, complete with a newly rebuilt pergola, creates the perfect setting for morning coffee overlooking the lake, weekend barbecues, or evenings gathered around the nearby firepit. The backyard offers plenty of room to spread out while providing first-class views of Lake Jivaro's annual Fourth of July fireworks display. One of the property's most exceptional features is the impressive 24-by-36 climate-controlled shop. With its own electric meter, dedicated 200-amp service, abundant 110V and 220V outlets, custom office space, extensive built-in shelving, overhead garage door, and a second level offering approximately 650 square feet of additional storage, this space is ready to adapt to a wide variety of hobbies, projects, collections, or workspace needs. The home updates provide peace of mind as well, including a high-efficiency 5-ton HVAC system installed in December 2025, a separate high-efficiency heat pump for the shop installed in 2025, refinished hardwood floors, a rebuilt pergola, newer LG kitchen appliances, an approximately eight-year-old roof, and a new front storm door. Practical features such as a triple sump pump system, rural water, natural gas service, high-speed internet availability, county trash service, and an oversized driveway designed for easy turnaround add convenience to everyday living. Offering lake views, exceptional craftsmanship, remarkable storage, and room to grow both inside and out, this is a property that is rarely available. It combines the comfort of peaceful country-style living with the convenience of being just minutes from shopping, dining, Lake Shawnee, and everything Topeka has to offer, creating a home that is as functional as it is memorable.
