A Rare Offering in Coveted Newlands
Newlands is one of Boulder's most established and sought-after neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, walkability, and proximity to some of the city's best outdoor amenities. Sanitas Vista Cottage captures the timeless architecture this neighborhood is known for, elevated by thoughtful modern refinement throughout. Homes in Newlands do not come to market often, which makes this an especially notable opportunity for buyers who have had their eye on the neighborhood and have been waiting for the right listing to appear.

Walkability and Location
Few Boulder neighborhoods offer the combination of walkability and convenience that Newlands does. From this home, residents are within easy reach of the North Boulder Recreation Center directly across the street, the GOAT Trail for hiking and mountain biking, North Boulder Park, and the shops and restaurants along Pearl Street. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and an alley all contribute to the neighborhood's classic, pedestrian-friendly feel, and a fire hydrant within 500 feet adds an extra layer of everyday peace of mind. For buyers who prioritize being able to walk or bike to daily errands, recreation, and dining, it is hard to find a more centrally located Boulder neighborhood than this one.
Why Buyers Are Drawn to Newlands
Newlands consistently ranks among Boulder's most desirable neighborhoods for buyers who want walkable access to trails, parks, and downtown without sacrificing the quiet, residential character of a classic Boulder street. The combination of historic cottage charm and modern updates found in this home reflects exactly what many Boulder buyers are searching for: a property that honors the character of the neighborhood while offering the comfort and function of a well-updated interior.
Schools Serving This Address
This property falls within Boulder Valley School District Re2, with Foothill Elementary, Casey Middle School, and Boulder High School as the assigned schools. Families should confirm current attendance boundaries directly with the district, since boundaries can shift over time.
Classic Character With Modern Comfort
One of the things that makes Sanitas Vista Cottage stand out is how it balances its 1921 origins with genuine day-to-day comfort. The eat-in kitchen and open floor plan give the home a livable, modern flow, while details like the wood floors, double pane windows, and enclosed fenced yard reflect thoughtful, ongoing care rather than a hurried flip. For buyers who want the character of a historic Boulder cottage without taking on a long list of deferred maintenance, this is a rare combination to find in the current market.

A Layout That Lives Larger Than Its Footprint
At 1,474 total square feet, this home is thoughtfully designed to make the most of every room. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas in a way that feels natural rather than cramped, and the finished portion of the basement adds meaningful additional square footage for a rec room, home office, or guest space.
