DENVER: 921 South High Street | $1.68M Why Is It Notable?It was an exciting year when this historic home was built.

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. For one thing, the powers that be are less concerned with preserving homes constructed after the war. Their simple designs have relatively easy structures to modify and customize. 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.

345 Dewey Avenue [Notable Sale]
345 Dewey Avenue | $3.43MThis made the cut for Fresh Listings back in September mostly because it's one of the first resales in Trailhead. On the market for only month and sold for 4.9% below asking ($833/F.SQFT). Why is it Notable?If you’re unfamiliar, the Trailhead neighborhood sits at the base of Mt. Sanitas, northwest of the Mapleton Historic District. It's an enclave of recently built, luxury homes with immediate access to some of Boulder's most popular open space trails.

4650 Holiday Drive 104 [Notable Sale]
4650 Holiday Drive 104 | $574KWhy Is It Notable?I've loved the Holiday Neighborhood since it was first developed.

2156 Magnolia Road [Notable Sale]
2156 Magnolia Road | $1.46MWhy is it Notable?Originally offered at a wishful thinking price of $2M, this property checks a lot of boxes for mountain dream homes. Constructed in the 90’s, it has an attractive design and excellent views. It’s sitting on over 9 acres of land. The functional floor plan, adequate bedrooms/baths, and giant workshop make it a year-round, primary home option. The short driveway and reasonable 7,000’ elevation, ~twenty-minute drive to town (when weather and canyon construction cooperates), and nearby public open space trail access completes the picture. If they had priced it right at the beginning of the [...]
7783 Essex Place [Notable Sale]
7783 Essex Place | $635KWhy Is It Notable?If you're shopping for an entry-level house in Boulder, first time buyers should consider Gunbarrel. In this neighborhood, mid 70's era homes like this one sell for about the same value as a much smaller 1950's ranch in Boulder proper. If you choose a house in the Heatherwood development instead of Martin Acres, for example, you'll get a newer home, double the size, and a more spacious yard for about the same money. Of course, you also are much further from restaurants, shopping, and (in normal times) work. There are tradeoffs to everything. This tri-level is a [...]
1235 Tamarack Avenue [Notable Sale]
1235 Tamarack Avenue | $1.54MA stunning, modern home with gorgeous design and features. Too bad it's also in a location that is strongly compromised, with near constant exposure to traffic from Broadway. Our clients loved it, but we advised them to not put in an offer due to this location issue alone.Remember: You can change virtually anything about a home but its location. Screening may help reduce the exposure to Broadway, but it will likely never go away. Even if you're ok with the noise, you'll potentially suffer lower appreciation and a reduced buyer pool when it comes time to sell the home. With all of that said, [...]
737 Pearl Street [Notable Sale]
737 Pearl Street | $1.48MWhy Is It Notable?West Pearl is one of Boulder's top locations. This unit, built in the late 1970's, is a five bedroom, three bath townhome located in the Pearl Street Townhouses. It has a Japanese garden feel to it with lush landscaping. The owner, a fellow Boulder realtor, acquired the property in 2018 for $1.3M. Other than paint, it doesn't appear that much was done during their ownership tenure. They listed it for sale at a wishful thinking price of $1.65M at the end of April. After pulling it off for a brief period, it was brought back to market, and [...]
342 Hollyberry Lane [Notable Sale]
342 Hollyberry Lane | $2.04MThis made the cut for Fresh Listings back in August when it hit the market. Listed for a little over $2M, it was on the market for 40 days without a price reduction. 342 Hollyberry Lane sold for 4.1% below the asking price, with no disclosed concessions.It's a tasteful home, with updates and an interior design that is very inviting. Benchmark: It did not have an amazing view and is a good comparison point for similar upper Table Mesa properties, adjusted for the very attractive interior design.

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.
