Quiet, secluded, with storybook charm, you’ve found your fairytale cottage in the woods, in the city. Tucked at the end of a long, canopied driveway, this one-of-a-kind 1-bedroom, 2-bath home is a hidden retreat on the edge of DU’s park-like campus. The driveway accommodates three cars, leading to a home that opens with an easy flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas, plus a main-floor half bath.

Upstairs, light pours in from both east and west, illuminating a lofty treehouse-style bedroom and office space. Outside is a private fenced backyard, perfect for grilling, gardening, or sunset watching on the concrete patio.

Despite its proximity to DU, the setting is remarkably peaceful. The campus is a local treasure; leafy paths, mountain views, fountains, and lily ponds make for some of the city’s best walking (especially if you have a dog).

Around the corner, find the neighborhood’s favorite eateries and coffee like Kaladi, La Belle Rosette, Spanky’s Roadhouse, Birdcall, and the hip breakfast spot, Jelly Café. Newman Center for the Performing Arts is just three blocks away, and Harvard Gulch Park and Recreation Center is a mile south. South Pearl Street favorites, like Sushi Den and Karma Yoga, are within two miles. I-25 access is just 2 minutes north on University Blvd.

Write your next chapter in this enchanting cottage in the woods, in the city, where serenity meets storybook living.
