BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 2255 Emerald Rd | $3.92M 

• A gorgeous, newer home in north central Boulder, in a pocket of unincorporated Boulder County, right in the city. Designed with sustainability in mind and with unique custom architecture, it’s a fetching property – but given its unique design, not for everyone. 
   
• The home itself features four bedrooms, four baths, and about 3,800 SQFT, but more importantly LEED Platinum/Net-Zero design. This is a very rare thing in a home, and unlike a spec project, nothing in this home was chosen to maximize profit. It was carefully curated and designed by the owner as a respite, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to enjoy all the beauty that Boulder offers.
   
• Deal notes: We’ve been watching this home since it first hit the market in August of 2022 for $4.95M. After two months of disappointment, the seller fired their poorly performing agent and relisted it at $500K below the original list price. During the life of the listing with the new agent, the property was twice again reduced in price, landing at a final list price of $4.25M in July of ’23. The buyer negotiated an additional 7.7% discount, not uncommon at this price point in the 4th quarter. It closed at $3.92M.
