What a Cottage Buyer in Boulder Checks

• Small on purpose. A cottage is 800 to 1,500 square feet with the charm in the details. The price per foot runs high; the total price runs low.
• Age and systems. Pre-war cottages in Boulder carry the same four questions as any old home: wiring, plumbing, sewer line, roof.
• The lot. Old cottages sit on lots worth as much as the house. Zoning for an ADU or a pop-top is what makes a small cottage a big investment.
• New cottages. Pocket-neighborhood builders in Boulder sell cottage plans with modern insides and a shared green. HOA dues cover the common ground.
• Storage. Cottages have little of it. A detached garage or a shed on the lot changes daily life.

Boulder Questions

What counts as a cottage?

A small, detached home with charm in the details: a steep roof, a porch, divided-light windows, a compact plan. Age does not matter; Boulder has cottages from 1910 and from last year.

Are cottages a good first home?

Yes. Lower total price, a real lot and resale to the same buyer pool. The systems inspection is the whole risk.

Can I add on to a cottage in Boulder?

Zoning on most cottage lots allows an addition, a pop-top or an ADU. We check the lot before you write.

Can I see a Boulder cottage today?

Yes. Call or text 303-955-4220 and a Kenna agent meets you there, 7 days a week.
