Some homes are simply places to live. Others carry a story, a point of view, or a sense of place you feel the moment you walk up the path. Those are the homes I’m drawn to, and this fall I’m proud to bring three of them to market.
Each is different from the others: a historic estate collection in Topeka, a boutique luxury residence in south Johnson County, and a quietly modern home in Mission. What they share is character. And character, presented with care, is what I do.
For more than three decades, The Woodward has been one of Topeka’s most beloved historic homes, a bed and breakfast that has welcomed wedding parties, business travelers, and conference guests to Historic Holliday Park.
Now, for the first time, it is offered as a complete collection: three fully furnished historic homes on the same street, totaling more than 14,600 square feet, plus four additional parcels.
The Woodward is the centerpiece, a 1923 Gothic English Tudor estate with ivy-covered brick, leaded glass, and a soaring two-and-a-half-story library that has to be seen to be believed.
The Woodward Max is a classic Queen Anne-style home with a deep wraparound porch, the kind of front porch that makes evenings feel longer.
The Woodward Executive is a historic guest house with its own arched entry and garden setting.
The four additional parcels open the door to possibilities such as a dedicated wedding chapel, a sports court, or additional housing, subject to zoning and approvals.
This is an opportunity to continue a hospitality legacy that guests still call to book, or to own a rare piece of Kansas history. Buyers should verify permitted uses.
The Residences at Parkway Plaza is a collection of just 11 custom homes, no two alike, inside a fully secured building off 135th Street. The experience feels less like a condominium and more like a private boutique hotel.
Residence 204 offers 2,265 square feet on a single level, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. A dramatic modern fireplace anchors the living space, and the kitchen is finished in custom cabinetry and substantial stonework. Step outside to a wraparound terrace overlooking the pond.
Residents enjoy a resort-style pool, a 24-hour fitness center, underground parking, and true lock-and-leave living. For anyone who wants new construction luxury without the upkeep of a large estate, this is a rare find.
This building is remarkable and I've always admired the project. A full circle moment to be able to work with the awesome developers on such a beautiful residence.

Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in Lido Villas, this is one of the few truly modern homes in the neighborhood.
Light is the defining feature here. As the sun moves across the day, it fills an open, spacious plan anchored by floating stairs and a sleek modern kitchen. The home offers over 2,500 finished square feet, including a large primary suite, a second suite with its own bath and balcony, lower level living space, generous storage, and a spacious two-car garage.
The location is just as compelling: minutes to the Country Club Plaza, downtown Kansas City, Mission’s shops and restaurants, and the highway.
My work centers on homes that are unique, high caliber, and often historic, in Kansas City and the communities around it. Recent work like the Shakespeare Chateau in St. Joseph has reinforced something I believe deeply: extraordinary properties deserve extraordinary storytelling.
A remarkable home can be underestimated when it is marketed like every other listing. My approach starts with understanding what makes a property singular, then presenting it through editorial photography, cinematic video, and copy that reflects its history and character. Under the Sage Sotheby’s International Realty brand, that story reaches buyers locally and well beyond Kansas and Missouri.
Whether it’s a century-old estate or a modern residence with clean lines and great light, every home I represent gets the same level of attention to detail.
Full details, photography, and video for all three homes are coming soon. If one of these properties speaks to you, or if you own a distinctive home and are considering what’s next, I’d love to connect.
