Sharp Design and Functional, Fun Homes [Fresh Listings Get ‘Em Hot]
Despite the holiday this week, we found something to offer from nearly every market in the Boulder area. Your options include high-end homes in the Foothills, charming options in Niwot, historic fixer uppers in Lafayette and turn key, affordable family homes in Renaissance.
Ready to schedule your showings? Let’s go!
Remember: Worth seeing doesn’t mean worth buying – especially at the asking price. For a private showing, which includes a discussion of valuation, negotiation strategy, and market conditions, call Osman at 303.746.6896. My goal is to help you make a smarter real estate decision.
Sold Listings of Note
40420 Boulder Canyon Dr | $3.23MM | More Details
Wow. It’s been nearly 30 years since this stunner was on the market. Located right on Boulder Creek with almost two acres of land, not historic (i.e. less restricted). We hope the new owner does something special with it. Sold for $3.2MM, cash.
2725 6th St | $2.5MM | More Details
Available for just 4 days before it was snapped up in a bidding war. In this market, buyers are willing to pay a premium for turn-key, updated or new homes, especially in certain locations (like Newlands). Why? To avoid construction risks and the long wait for quality contractors. Sold $2.5MM, $105K over asking. Getting ready to invest in Boulder real estate? Talk to an agent who closely tracks the market.
2543 Pine St | $1.38MM | More Details
Available for only 5 days, an attractive Craftsman, well located within the desirable Whittier neighborhood. Original construction date was 1948 but it had been completely remodeled only thirteen years ago. If you’re buying a historic home, aim for one that has had electrical, mechanical, and foundation updates. Sold $1.38MM, just over asking, cash.

1120 Monroe Dr B | $475K | More Details
Two bedroom, three bath town home in Park East Square. Listings here typically don’t last long. This one has been beautifully opened up and transformed from the standard galley kitchens in this complex.
Niwot
7261 Spring Creek Cir | $1.3MM | More Details
Situated only a few miles past Boulder, Niwot is filled with large homes on spacious lots. It also boasts excellent schools and a historic, charming downtown. If you’re finding Boulder homes not palatial enough for your taste, put Niwot on your radar. This particular one is dated, but has views and at well under $300/F. SQFT, it’s a bargain (compared to Boulder). Be sure to compare to other options in Niwot. Due diligence: Smart agents will help you verify that open space and views are protected.
Lafayette
408 E Cleveland | $420K | More Details
Imagine this historic cottage with fresh paint and a new kitchen, minus the old timey furniture. It’s located in the middle of up and coming Old Town Lafayette and has a detached one car garage. Due diligence: Maintenance costs for historic homes can run 2x to 3x compared with a newer property. Lafayette is also experiencing fracking that’s being met with local activism. It’s a huge issue in the community. Get educated before you write your offer.

Superior
2260 Keota Ln | $720K | More Details
Mid 90’s traditional family house in Rock Creek, well located near the community park. Some finishes look like they were recently updated. Due diligence: expansive soils and foundations.

An attractive and updated ranch with a full basement in Renaissance. Great street, beautiful kitchen. This neighborhood is filled with families, is close to trails and open space, plus a new Whole Foods and other retail are only a short jaunt away. Be sure to compare to 4105 San Marco, also new this week.

Testimonials
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.
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.
