About the host

Hosted by Jack Calcutt

Host profile image

Jack is the husband of one and the father of seven. An East-Coast native, he has grown to love his wife's hometown Topeka!

Why they chose this property

When we moved from the East Coast, we knew we wanted to live in Westboro. An easy walk to the local playground or church allowed us to pass by some of the most beautiful homes in town. As our family grew, we decided to move to the country, but hope that others will love the home and neighborhood as much as we do!
