301 Eudora St [Denver Notable]
DENVER NOTABLE SALE: 301 Eudora St | $2.2MStrong buyer interest allowed this Hilltop neighborhood historic home to close for slightly over list, despite slow fourth quarter market conditions. 310 Eudora featured five bedrooms (four on the upper level), four baths, and approximately 3,800 SQFT. The home home was thoroughly renovated during the seller's tenure, with plenty of upside given an initial acquisition price of only $750,000 in 2014. Due diligence: Historic homes require much greater due diligence than newer homes. When an owner completes an extensive renovation, the work quality, finishes, and fixtures are generally much higher quality than one would expect [...]

3534 Alcott St [Denver Notable]
DENVER NOTABLE SALE: 3534 Alcott St | $1.05MOriginally constructed in 1900, this adorable bungalow in Potter Highlands had been extensively renovated and a two car garage added.

1321 Race Street [Denver Notable Sale]
DENVER NOTABLE SALE: 1321 Race Street | $1.56M The Galagher House is a large, historic mansion in close proximity to Cheesman Park. Owned by the seller for nearly a decade, it exudes authenticity with period correct millwork and finishes. The home featured five bedrooms, all on the upper level, and four baths across its 6,400 SQFT. A solarium was added in 2020 at a supposed cost of $250,000. In my opinion, the home mostly just needed an interior refresh and as such, represented a relative bargain in this heated market. That's assuming you could live with lack of a decent [...]
