Creekside Cottage in the City, 1 BR, addt’l sleeper sofa, AC & all amenities

This lovely stone cottage is built in the valley between Boggy Creek and the Walnut Creek bike/walk trail. The creek meets the Colorado River merely 500 feet down on Boggy Creek.

The property is just under an acre. There is a fire pit and hammock, and trails down to the creek with access to fishing and wildlife viewing (including turtles, armadillos, and abundant large-mouth bass).

The house is three/four rooms: living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom—all rather large. It truly is an oasis in the city.

There is a feather-top, queen bed in the bedroom that will make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. The second bed is a quality, comfortable, memory foam sleeper sofa, that folds out flat and provides great support.

This home comes with all the amenities you’ll need to feel right at home: from cooking implements to cozy sitting and eating spaces, and necessities like tea, coffee, InstantPot, Ninja blender, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, washer/dryer with environmentally friendly detergent, ironing board, and extra pillows. There is abundant parking, merely steps away from the front door; and also a charging port for electric vehicles.

While the amenities abound, there is no TV, which I feel enhances the old-world charm. That said, there is Starlink wifi, and boosted cellphone service, so it's not completely old-world ;)

And the views!! Every room has breathtaking views—as you gaze out on old shade trees, even a rare American Elm; and the neighboring farm is a site to see (farmers and volunteers are there from about 7:30-3:00, M-Sat). You won’t have any neighbors after that, just you and nature.

This house feels like it’s in the country, even though it’s actually in the city—which means you get the best of both worlds—nature, quiet, and quick access to bustling city life. You’ll also hear city sounds of planes and the occasional train, but I don’t believe the sounds are bothersome. There are also some country bugs: caterpillars, pollinators, etc; they’ll occasionally follow you into the house—I usually catch and release them, but it’s up to you what you do with the occasional 6-legged friend.

It really is a beautiful place and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Oh, and there are fig, plum, and persimmon trees on the property—feel free to pick and enjoy!!
