Why wait months to build when this move-in-ready new construction home already has the modern floor plan, peaceful setting, and thoughtful upgrades buyers are searching for? Tucked into a quiet neighborhood in the Shawnee Heights School District, this zero-step entry home offers the rare feeling of being off the beaten path while still being just minutes from grocery, restaurants, highway access, and less than a mile from the shores and walking trails of Lake Shawnee. Backing directly to green space and trees instead of another row of houses, the backyard feels more open and peaceful than many newer construction neighborhoods. The east-facing patio welcomes morning sun while naturally settling into evening shade—perfect for coffee at sunrise or relaxing outside after work. And an added bonus for buyers: this is the final year of special taxes. Inside, the home immediately feels fresh, open, and easy to live in. The kitchen anchors the main floor with granite countertops, stainless steel Samsung appliances, a walk-in pantry, and the kind of layout that naturally keeps everyone connected. Whether you’re cooking dinner, hosting friends, or simply unwinding after a long day, the openness between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces creates a comfortable flow that fits modern life beautifully. The mud room off the garage quickly becomes one of those everyday conveniences you wonder how you ever lived without. The main floor zero-step entry and half bath add practicality, while upstairs the home continues to shine with four spacious bedrooms and a separate laundry room thoughtfully located between them. The primary suite offers a calm retreat at the end of the day, complete with its own private bath and a beautifully tiled zero-step shower that feels both elegant and functional. Outside, the neighborhood itself encourages a slower pace. Sidewalk-lined streets, nearby trails, and the proximity to Lake Shawnee make evening walks, bike rides, and outdoor time part of everyday life. The green space behind the home adds an extra sense of openness and privacy that’s difficult to find in newer developments. And perhaps one of the biggest advantages of all: everything is new. Roof, HVAC, appliances, finishes, mechanicals—without the surprise expenses older homes often bring. This is the kind of home where you can spend your time enjoying life instead of constantly maintaining it. Modern, efficient, low-maintenance, and located in one of southeast Topeka’s most desirable areas, this home delivers the lifestyle buyers hope new construction will provide.
