2831 20th St [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 2831 20th St | $1M 2831 20th Street started as a typical mid century ranch. At some point, likely in the mid 90's, the owner constructed an addition with a second story primary bedroom. The location is solid for north central Boulder; it's only a short bike ride to downtown or to Google. The interior was quite dated. Likely it's been a rental for many years. Deal notes: Listed at $950K, the property went under contract within the first week and closed at slightly over $1M. This is a good example of a house that wasn't worth [...]
3610 Emerson Ave [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 3610 Emerson Ave | $1.1M A typical 60's era ranch with some mild updates. The location is excellent, just around the corner from the rec center and Viele lake. Although there wasn't anything sexy about the updates, they weren't done with profit in mind. The roof, sewer line, and HVAC system had all been recently upgraded. System updates are often better than cosmetic ones. They point to a well maintained home. Deal notes: Listed at $1.5M in September, the seller cut the price substantially in early October. It took another month for a buyer to lock it [...]
297 Broken Fence Rd [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 297 Broken Fence Rd | $1.4M From a location perspective, it's hard to beat 297 Broken Fence Rd. Just one patch of undeveloped, private land separated it from Betasso Preserve. It felt enmeshed by natural beauty and stunning views. It was also located at the end of the street on a cul-de-sac, and only a short distance from the City of Boulder. The interior of the home was mostly original, but it had some nice built-ins, and the kitchen that had been updated sometime in the not so ancient past. The spiral stairs were rare and posed [...]
3155 Kittrell Ct [Boulder Notable]

That's not just agent hyperbole. When the right perch becomes available in this location, there is frequently multiple parties interested, and the price often exceeds list. Based on ownership records, this ranch was likely kept within the same family for many decades. It finally became available for acquisition via an estate sale in early November. Tenant occupied, the home was priced well below market at $1.4M. Look through the windows in the listing [...]
4673 Eldorado Springs Dr [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 4673 Eldorado Springs Dr | $1.6M This pocket neighborhood off the road to Eldorado Springs is one of my favorite hidden spots in Boulder. World class hiking trails are steps away, and all the homes are situated on generous lots. The most coveted properties back to South Boulder Creek, directly adjacent to hundreds of acres of protected open space. 4673 Eldorado Springs is a raised ranch built in the late 80's. Finishes and fixtures had been updated recently, but the home also sustained significant damage during the floods of 2013. It was listed as an estate [...]

Interior millwork looks well preserved, but the kitchen and baths were ready for a refresh. The basement is currently a rental, and the garage was converted into studio space.

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.
