A Few Worth Considering [Get 'Em Hot]

A Few Worth Considering [Get ‘Em Hot]

Osman Parvez|November 22, 2013|Boulder|

Visiting Boulder over Thanksgiving and thinking of buying a residence to be closer to family?

Let’s look at a couple of Boulder listings well worth considering. Call me to arrange a showing on these during your visit.

1965 21st Street, Unit 6

In a nutshell: You’re looking at a large lock-n-leave condo with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings and a rooftop patio close to downtown Boulder. Two bedrooms, three baths, and 2,300+ SQFT means you’ll have room for guests or a visiting grandchild. Build in 1988, so it should be reasonably energy efficient and beyond most environmental concerns. Asking: $759,000. The last market sale was 12 years ago for $575,000. It looks like the seller has added some finished square footage. CLICK FOR DETAILS. Call me for a showing at 303.746.6896.

501 Mapleton Avenue

In a nutshell: In case you didn’t know, this is the heart of Boulder’s Mapleton Hill historic district. You’re looking at a 5 bedroom, 5 bath house with 4,832 SQFT and a two car detached garage. Four of of those bedrooms are on the upper level, the preferred layout for the vast majority of buyers. It’s sitting on a ~7,500 SQFT lot, a fairly decent size, and because it was built in 1950, it should be easier to obtain permits for renovations or even a full scrape.

Take a look at the interior shots however, a full scrape isn’t warranted. You could live in it as is. I regularly advice my investment oriented clients to consider property with valuation anchors, such as killer views, proximity to downtown or open space. This one has it, folks.

Negotiation Strategy: It was twice listed in the past. First during 2012, starting at $1.75 and dropping to $1.63. It was listed again this past spring at $1.65 and withdrawn in May. The current listing is for $1.65 and it went active on November 15. It’s almost like they’re listing it intentionally during the off season. Does that suggest a motivated seller? I think it does! CLICK for details. CALL 303.746.6896 for a showing.

We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.

Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
