Shocker in The Suburbs: This Richardson Home Near Cottonwood Park is One of The Best on The Market

Look at little Richardson showing out with a home that is absolutely one of a kind.

Keller Williams agent Angela Green calls it one of the most amazing properties in Richardson and she ain’t wrong. Notice she didn’t dare say Dallas, all you people living within city limits would lose your dang minds. But it really is one of the coolest properties I’ve seen lately and it’s smack in the middle of the suburbs.

A Richardson House With Lots of Love

The story here is the lot. It’s set on over one-half acre, there’s a footbridge (as opposed to a suspension bridge, you know, for cars and trucks) that crosses the creek, and picture-perfect Cottonwood Park is right out your front door.

It’s one of the best parks in Richardson with that squishy foamy-floored playground. Like, if you’re into that sort of thing. And most people reading this are not. But KIDS! If they’re sounding this one out, I assure you they’re taking notes. We’re talking unexpected boat-like teeter-totters, double swings, roller slides, the whole kit-and-kaboodle.

Hey lady, is this a site for underground park reviews or CandysDirt.com? Sorry, you have a point. BACK TO THE HOUSE.

The lot is stunning. Like I can’t get over it. It’s tiered, it’s landscaped, and there’s literally a creek that runs right through the property. On one side, your primary home. On the other side, guest quarters. And the best place to enjoy the lot is … well, everywhere.

The stone deck, the screened-in porch, the balcony that sits above it, the deck on the other side of bridge on the built-in bench that surrounds the tree that wasn’t cut down and instead incorporated into the design. ARCHITECTURE.

Interiors Are Perfect for Pa

You can also catch views of the incredible lot INSIDE the home through the magic of strategically placed windows.

The interior has Laura Ingalls energy to match the stellar setting with rustic cedar lined ceiling, wood framed windows, and brick floors. She’s got a big ol’ kitchen, too, and over 3,000 square feet plus a guest quarters of “No, seriously, we’re in Richardson?!” vibes.

And I told you I’d knock it off with the park, but I lied. Seriously, y’all, it’s a good one. There’s a pond with real live ducks, a paved walking trail, and a dang city pool. PLUS the entire Cottonwood Arts Festival right out your front door. Incredible.

Fun facts – This home was formerly owned by Jim Hoyt who purchased Bike Mart back in the day and changed the name to Richardson Bike Mart. And now we’re back to Bike Mart. CYCLICAL. Hoyt was also best buds with Lance Armstrong so if you buy this home, you’re basically an Olympian.

Angela Green of Keller Williams Real Estate has 1309 Dumont Drive listed for $875,000.
