BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 889 14th Street| $1.43M
Why Is It Notable?
We saw it at least twice with clients. Both times, they ran screaming. In October 2019, it finally sold for the bargain basement price of $862K or 43% below the original asking.

The new owner had vision and wasted no time. They remodeled and renovated the home extensively, fixed the interior, and took down the lawsuit waiting to happen in the backyard. The simple, yet elegant patio and landscaping was a bow on the entire package.
The developer listed it at $1.55M at the end of last summer and after a few small price reductions, found a willing buyer by October. Although the under contract period was lengthy (probably for tax purposes), it closed just after the New Year. While we don’t know the capital resources invested in bringing this historic home back to life, surely there was adequate profit given the $563K delta.
