Expansive 7BR Ranch on 4.84 Acres with Pool & Pond
From the long drive that delivers you across nearly five private acres to the wide, single-level plan that unfolds inside, 6016 Northeast Olympia Street reads like a property designed for families who prize space and flexibility. This 1999 ranch stretches 4,282 finished square feet and has been thoughtfully expanded — new rooms and additional baths were added to accommodate an active household. Enter through a broad foyer into living areas anchored by a fireplace and generous sightlines to the pool and pond beyond.
The primary suite occupies a quiet wing with direct views of the in-ground pool and koi pond; several bedrooms are arranged for discreet separation and privacy, making this layout ideal for multigenerational living. The walk-out basement includes a second full kitchen and living area, an excellent mother-in-law suite or long-term guest set-up. Main-floor conveniences include a dedicated laundry room and easy access to the oversized 4-car attached garage.
Outdoor life is the calling card here: the property’s level acreage is configured for backyard recreation, gardening and small-scale hobby farming — a chicken coop is already in place. The in-ground pool and koi pond create a private, resort-like setting framed by lawn and open sky, while a walk-out lower level keeps indoor/outdoor living effortless for gatherings or quiet weekends.
Practical systems include forced-air gas heating and central air; the roof is composition and the basement is partially finished with direct exterior access. Zoned RR-1, the parcel supports single-family residential and agricultural uses, offering lifestyle options many suburban lots cannot. Located in Pleasant Ridge within Seaman USD 345, the home sits a short drive from Northern Hills Elementary, Seaman Middle and Seaman High School — a thoughtful combination of acreage, amenities and accessibility rare in Topeka’s market.

Location
6016 Northeast Olympia Street, Topeka, Kansas 66617
Pleasant Ridge is a quiet, rural-residential enclave on Topeka’s northeast edge that balances acreage living with easy access to schools and town amenities. Families value the proximity to Northern Hills Elementary, Seaman Middle and Seaman High, while weekend dining and local services are a short drive away. The community’s larger lots attract buyers seeking privacy, hobby farming and outdoor space yet still within reach of Topeka’s retail and medical centers. Neighbors describe a low-traffic atmosphere, strong sense of place and an easy, family-oriented lifestyle.
On-site recreation is strong with an in-ground pool, koi pond and nearly five acres for outdoor activities; neighborhood roads, nearby school fields and local green spaces provide additional options for walking and informal recreation.
A factual market snapshot around 6016 Northeast Olympia Street.
The Pleasant Ridge micro-market around 66617 has shown steady appreciation: median area prices sit near $289,783 and the neighborhood has recorded roughly 4.1% year-over-year appreciation. Inventory is tight at approximately 2.5 months, which historically favors sellers, though average days on market for the area run around 80 days — indicating that higher-priced, specialty properties can take longer to find the right buyer. Recent comparables within a mile traded between $380K and $500K for smaller lots and homes without amenities; analysis of three recent sales adjusted for acreage and the pool/pond indicates a realistic valuation range of $650K–$700K for this property, with a midpoint near $675K. Single-family homes with acreage and premium outdoor features continue to outperform standard suburban product in this corridor, particularly when configured for multigenerational living. For buyers, low inventory presents competition but also opportunity: motivated sellers and properly priced, well-documented offers have the best chance of success. For sellers, current conditions and the home’s unique amenities suggest a solid market position, though thorough pre-inspection and clear documentation of the recent expansions will speed transaction and strengthen offers.
