About this property
Charming 1-bedroom garden house near Como Park
Step into the Sunflower, a bright and thoughtfully designed two-story ADU hidden behind its main house in the charming Como Park neighborhood of St. Paul. Named for its cheerful yellow exterior, the home blends contemporary architectural flair with peaceful garden living. Inside, the ground floor opens onto a private garden, where large sliding doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor space. Expect green kitchen cabinetry, playful “paint‑by‑numbers” shower tile, sleek polished concrete floors with radiant heat, and warm glulam beams framing the upper level. Natural light flows throughout, thanks to skylights and smart window placement designed for both privacy and brightness
Nestled in a quiet Saint Paul neighborhood just minutes from Como Park, this space blends modern comfort with thoughtful design. Fully stocked for long stays, it includes everything you need, from a complete kitchen to cozy linens and high-speed WiFi, making it ideal for remote work or extended visits.
What makes this neighborhood special is the sense of intentional community. Residents here—like the original homeowner and her next‑door neighbor—share meals, garden produce, tools, and laughter in a close-knit urban‑farm environment. You’ll find garden paths, a chicken coop, and leafy shared space just steps away

About the host
Your host
Hi, my name is Sonja. I built this Sunflower ADU in 2021 to create extra living space when my kids moved home from college. My son, an architect, designed this beautiful backyard oasis. With both my kids moved out, it is a perfect getaway home waiting for you.
Why they chose this property
You’re staying in the charming Como Park neighborhood, just a few blocks from the iconic Minnesota State Fairgrounds. The area feels like a leafy suburb with tree-lined streets, mature elms, and a mix of cozy bungalows and modern homes.
In the morning, you can take a quiet walk around the park and lake. At dusk, you’ll catch neighbors walking dogs, kids heading home from school, or families enjoying a picnic in the park. There’s a genuine warmth and sense of community, not to mention close access to beautifully landscaped gardens, trails, the conservatory, and even an urban zoo. It’s lively yet peaceful, familiar yet full of surprises, year-round.
