2287 Holyoke Dr [Boulder Notable Sale]

BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 2287 Holyoke Drive | $1,535,000 



A larger lot on an A-rated street in Table Mesa, with a well worn and ready to be scrapped 70’s era bi-level on it. A couple of years ago, I had the nearly identical home two houses up the street under contract for below $1.2M. My buyer bailed out after (a) we determined the feasibility metrics provided by the listing agent were based on inaccurate lot line measurements (b) the seller refused to negotiate a reasonable concession. 

Due diligence: A curvilinear front lot coupled with non-conforming setbacks can be quite challenging, at least for my client’s future plans. 2287 Holyoke likely violates the side yard setback on the southside, but at least the lot is not as curved. Hopefully the buyer did their homework. 

Deal Notes: Listed for $1.5M, the property was snapped up in two days, and sold for $1.535 with conventional financing. There was an additional $25K concession, for undisclosed (likely inspection) reasons.

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.
