2040 Walnut Street [Notable Sale]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 2040 Walnut Street | $2.4M Why Is It Notable?The Carver House, originally constructed in 1910. A classic example of a Foursquare, one of my favorite historic architectural styles, with one unusual detail - the combination of clapboard and brick siding. The location was a touch busy, due to the higher density of nearby buildings and students in this location, but the condition of the interior more than made up for that. It had been opened up (note the steel) and beautifully renovated by well known historic home specialist, Joel Smiley.Like this content? Check out Fresh Listings.

2550 Balsam Drive [Notable Sale]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 2550 Balsam Drive | $2.4MWhy Is It Notable?The Panorama - Alpine - Balsam peninsula is a geological perch that overlooks the city of Boulder, with views both to the north and to the south, provided you're on the right side of the street. The non view, inner side of this micro-neighborhood is not so lucky, but valuations get dragged along for the ride never the less. We've been keeping an eye on the property since it first hit the market. It's a fine house, reasonably sized, and with the amenities that buyers require of a home in this price range and location.The trouble was being [...]

7047 Goose Point Court [Notable Sale]
LONGMONT NOTABLE SALE: 7047 Goose Point Court | $2.21MWhy Is It Notable?I’ve been keeping an eye on this property since it was first listed in 2017. Goose Point Ranch is a luxury, 90’s era, subdivision located just south of Lagerman Reservoir. I used to drive past it on a near daily basis, when we lived nearby. There are only a handful of houses, all on large parcels, surrounded by what appears to be open space (some of which is actually held by the developer, albeit with restrictions). Very little of the finishes appear to have been updated since 7047 Goose Point was [...]
2950 Broadway Street 2 [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 2950 Broadway Street 2 | $599K Why Is It Notable?Units at Red Arrow rarely change hands. Rumor has it the design of the building was inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, but that could just be Realtor happy talk. The location is right on Broadway, subject to constant traffic noise, but at least it's a short distance to downtown. This one was on the market for just a couple of days before it was locked down by the buyer. It sold for full asking, cash. Due Diligence Built in the early 60's, and although the design is iconic, it's also quirky and inefficient. As [...]
805 Yale Road [Notable Sale]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 805 Yale Road | $920KWhy Is It Notable?Former churches can make for very unique real estate assets. It's not entirely clear when the Mesa Church was re-configured into a five bedroom, two bath home. Still, to lock down a functional home in this part of Table Mesa for a price point below $1M is remarkable. The location is far enough away from Table Mesa Drive and has the offsetting benefit of the park. We look forward to seeing what the owners do with both the potential second lot and interior reconfiguration. Osman Parvez is the Founder and Employing Broker of House Einstein. Originally [...]
8003 N 63rd Street [Notable Sale]
LONGMONT NOTABLE SALE: 8003 N 63rd Street | $3.73M Why Is It Notable?We've been keeping our eye on this hobby-farm for some time. It's a centerpiece of Dannybrook Farm, a small enclave of luxury homes surrounded by agricultural land in unincorporated Boulder County. Out here in the high plains countryside, water rights are a critical component of valuation, and 8003 N. 63rd Street featured 1 cubic feet per second (CFS) of adjudicated rights, pond stored. The house itself was constructed in 2014 and traditionally designed, with views from nearly every room. It sits on a 2 acre parcel, adjoined by a 91 acre out-lot.Listing HistoryValuation is challenging [...]

605 Alpine Avenue [Notable Sale]
605 Alpine Avenue | $1.23MWhy Is It Notable?Congratulations to our clients for snagging one of the best priced, improvable homes west of Broadway. Mid 50's era ranches remain the preferred platform for extensive renovations and second floor additions.

This location is in close proximity to Mt. Sanitas open space, our favorite restaurants in downtown Boulder, and the Ideal shopping plaza. The house itself features two bedrooms, two baths, and a large detached garage with bonus [...]
1903 Kristy Court [Notable Sale]
1903 Kristy Court | $920KWhy is it Notable?A classic, timeless design in the center of Prospect.
