The Neighborhood:
Riverside is one of Wichita's most popular older neighborhoods. Located just off the Arkansas River, the neighborhood has some of the oldest houses in the area. Walk around and enjoy the beautiful architecture. You'll see charming Victorians, cute Tudors, cozy Bungalows, large Mid Centuries, and everything in between. Just 2 blocks south of the house, you'll even see a Castle! Riverside has a whimsical vibe with several great restaurants and shops, such as Riverside Cafe, Song Bird Juice Company, and Cool Breeze Pizza. Several parks and musuems are a short drive or walk away, including the Old Cowtown Museum, Botanica, the Wichita Art Museum, the Keeper of the Plains, Exploration Place, Sims Park and Riverside Park.
Getting Around:
The house is located just off 13th street and has easy access to grocery stores and several restaurants. It is just minutes from downtown.
Other Things to Note:
Riverside Cottage is located just off a busier street. This can create some traffic noise. The master bedroom is located in the back of the house and has much less. We do have ear plugs and noise machines to help with the noise as well as black out curtains and window treatments. While in the backyard, enjoy the outdoor speaker.
The bathroom is located in the master bedroom. The only access to the bathroom is through the master bedroom.
