Sold Listings of Note
860 University Ave | $1.8MM | More Details
Historic looking from the curb and the addition creates the impression of separate dwellings. It’s modern and beautiful on the inside. The only caveat was the location. University has high student density, although it’s mostly east of 9th. The deal is proof the higher-end is alive and well, it sold for over 8% above asking. Click the more details link above for the eye candy.
715 Arapahoe Ave 4 | $569K | More Details
This deal was all about the location. The interior of the unit had basic finishes but was clearly updated at some point in its history. HOA fees were reasonable, square footage on the generous side, no garage but one reserved space. The asking started at just under $600K. The seller cut the price after a few weeks to $579K and accepted an offer on day 21 of the listing period. It closed on the 12th for 1.7% below asking, no disclosed concessions.

1765 Sunset Blvd | $5MM | More Details
There are only a handful of properties in Boulder that can justify this price point. Your investment thesis starts with the location – it better be the best of the best, exclusive and yet steps from downtown. Check. From there, the lot should be large and private. Check. The last piece is all about design and execution, for which this might qualify. Only a showing can confirm. Call your Realtor. You’ll need proof of funds to even schedule a showing.
1021 10th | Asking: $1.4MM | More Details
A classic pre-war gem in University Hill. The 2001-2001 Historic Survey notes this property is not contributing to the District, which means the city might allow more flexibility if the new owner wants to make modifications. The interior has classic features but could use updating. Decent size and layout, plus a one car garage. Due diligence: Historic homes require much deeper due diligence, with particular attention to foundations, mechanical, and electrical systems. Proper due diligence should include a visit to the planning department.
3179 6th | Asking: $1.1MM | More Details
A cute bungalow in Newlands. It looks like the house has experienced a few rounds of updates since it was built in 1948. Lot size is a little on the small side, further expansion will be limited. If you think you might need more square footage, ask your Realtor to bring their architect to the showing. Newlands is ground zero for restrictive zoning in Boulder.
2390 Dartmouth | Asking: $950K | More Details
Dartmouth is a fairly busy street but the further up you go, the less traffic becomes an issue. This one is past the Kohler and Kenwood turn offs, so the location is worth a consideration. The house is a large 1950’s ranch, no basement, with a bunch of updates. Lot size is larger than typical. Open space is across the street. Boulder’s best schools nearby.
1139 Monroe Dr B | Asking: $425K | More Details
4550 Broadway #219 | Asking: $700K | More Details
8252 Kincross | Asking: $715K | More Details
Louisville
2376 Hecla| Asking: $729K | More Details
Longmont
4318 Bella Vista Drive | Asking: $495K | More Details
This location is excellent with good schools, low traffic, and a family friendly neighborhood. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to drive to the Google Campus in Boulder. Paths lead to open space, Longmont Whole Foods is only la few minutes away, and there are a handful of restaurants within a short evening stroll. This house has a main floor master, two bedrooms on the upper level, and an unfinished basement. Finish quality is acceptable but not higher end. You’ll most likely want to demo the fireplace/tv wall. Disclosure: I believe in the investment thesis in this location and own an investment property just down the street from this house.

Testimonials
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.
