About This Home
As of July 2025You may have admired this one from the curb—or dreamed of staying at “The She Shed”—and now is your chance to take a closer look and write the next chapter. Built in 1904, this Garlinghouse Bungalow isn’t just full of charm—it’s officially recognized for having charm. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it’s an example of L.F. Garlinghouse’s plan book homes, a unique piece of architectural history in Topeka. This was designed and built to be a model home for the company and one of the first ten models they constructed. Thoughtfully preserved and beautifully updated, it tells a story worth being part of. The Registry listing does permit an owner to receive state tax credits for maintenance. Starting from the date of purchase, and extensively between 2019 and 2025, the current owner poured care and creativity into every detail. The original cedar shakes were restored after removing old vinyl siding. The porch was rebuilt—decking, framing, and that iconic swing all refreshed. Privacy fencing wraps the backyard, and landscaping adds curb appeal in every season. Inside, the natural light shows off a blend of timeless character and fresh design. Fun and stylish fixtures shine throughout. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and new appliances. A second bathroom was added with a playful pink shower, and the hall bath offers a relaxing soaking tub. The floored attic provides additional storage or future potential, and the electrical system has been updated. Out back, enjoy evenings under the awning-covered patio, converse around the fire pit, or unwind in the hot tub. With Edgewood Park just across the street, the location is as special as the home itself. Come take a tour—you might just fall in love with this piece of Topeka’s story. John Mellencamp sang about "Pink Houses" now you could have one of your own.
