Property Description
Set back from University Avenue in a private, off-street position behind the front residence, this 1917 cottage is a rare find just a five-minute walk from the University of Colorado campus and The Hill.Inside, 880 square feet is put to genuinely good use across three bedrooms and a full bath. The living room catches morning light, and the eat-in kitchen feels twice its size under a vaulted ceiling. Hardwood floors run through much of the home, and a loft adds flexible space for guests, a study, or storage.Outside, a generous front porch invites you to linger, and the fully fenced yard is finished in low-maintenance pebbled landscaping. Recent updates include a newer water heater, refreshed bathroom flooring, and in-unit laundry. One off-street parking space adds convenience to this home in this highly sought part of Boulder.The property currently rents for $3,950 per month, with tenants covering an average of $195 in monthly utilities - immediate income in one of Boulder's most reliably in-demand rental pockets.
