120 N Franklin St [Denver Notable]
DENVER NOTABLE SALE: 120 N Franklin St | $2.9MA rare gem and last on the market more than 30 years ago. Located in the highly desirable Country Club neighborhood, on a quiet street, peppered with luxurious turn of the century mansions. Constructed in 1910, it features expansive square footage and plenty of rooms to satisfy most buyers. Finishes are quite worn and ready for a refresh, but the bones and location of this beauty will support the additional capital investment. Deal notes: Some property acquisitions are truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Others are just the typical listing agent hyperbole. It’s critical to know the [...]
1047 Balsam Ave [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 1047 Balsam Ave | $3.0MBeautiful and nearly new construction, with five bedrooms, six baths, and a two car garage. It’s also in extremely close proximity to Ideal and an easy stroll to downtown. Despite the turn-key nature of this home, it took nearly a month to find a buyer. Listed this past August. Closed for $250K below the asking price, or 7.7% below list in a conventional mortgage acquisition (i.e. not cash). Due diligence: The buyer took a big gamble given uncertainties related to the massive Alpine Balsam project directly across the street. Were they advised about the scale of this project, the hassle [...]

2940 14th St [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER Notable Sale: 2940 14th St | $3.2M We wrote about 2940 14th Street a couple of weeks ago as a Worth a Second Look listing, noting that it had originally been listed at $3.8M and probably needed to drop a bit further. Hopefully the buyer followed our advice and made the Certificate of Occupancy a condition of closing. From the October 10th edition of Fresh Listings: “Constructed by Wood Brothers, this tasteful new build features a crisp eco-friendly design. It's a straight shot up the marketing fairway, intended to appeal to the majority of home buyers, with four bedrooms on the upper level, five baths, and a two-car attached [...]
1989 Beacon Ct [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER Notable Sale: 1989 Beacon Ct | $1.83M Although she wasn’t our client, we had a buyer reach out and ask our opinion about a house she had under contract in North Boulder. After review, we advised her to terminate and consider 1989 Beacon Ct instead. She followed our advice and closed on this property last week. Why this property? Beacon Square is a small development of townhomes on West Pearl, just down the street from the walking mall and in a location where brand new townhomes have recently sold for nearly 2x the price. They’re cute on the outside and because of the location [...]
7334 Park Cir [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER Notable Sale: 7334 Park Cir | $1.6MThe South Meadow Gunbarrel Green neighborhood consists of ~85 houses built around a pocket park, located just south east of the Boulder Country Club. It’s a quiet neighborhood and the park is a lovely feature for the residents. It’s also in close proximity to Boulder proper, but without many of the challenges of living within the city limits. We took our buyers to see this five bedroom, four bath, two-story home back in July when it first hit the market. At first they were seriously considering the property, but we convinced them to pass on it [...]
814 Sunshine Canyon Dr [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER Notable Sale: 814 Sunshine Canyon | $1.2MHouse Einstein’s Ian Steinmo and Sophie Kloor teamed up to represent the buyers of this terrific property. Not only did they put it under contract within days of it hitting the market, but negotiated past several challenging deal hurdles on the path to closing. During the course of the deal, Ian and Sophie managed to find solutions that worked for both parties. Through their professional representation of the buyers, the deal ultimately closed for $1.1M (nearly 10% below list). The home itself was older, the value was primarily in the large lot, close proximity to the city, and spectacular views. [...]
416 Pleasant St [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 416 Pleasant St | $850K We took our clients to see this historic home while it was on the market. Built in 1902, it featured three-bedrooms, two baths and plenty of charm. Unfortunately, the home also showed many signs of deferred TLC. The survey markings around the property also raised more questions than they answered. Provided the budget, this home would be a one of a kind gem in a fantastic neighborhood. It was just too much for our clients to take on and they passed.Deal notes: The home was listed in July at $1.075M and quickly went under contract. The first deal failed, likely due to [...]
148 Lincoln Cir [Louisville Notable]
LOUISVILLE NOTABLE SALE: 148 Lincoln Cir | $1.19MIt's all about the location. This 80's era two-story features five bedrooms and two bath inside a relatively modest 2,400 SQFT. It's an easy stroll from here to downtown Louisville or the park. The tasteful remodel has an open design but lacks flow to the outdoor entertaining area. Deal notes: listed in early August for $1.2M, it was on the market for nearly three weeks before going under contract. The transaction took about 45 days and the deal closed for 15K under list (1.3%), including concessions. Like this content? Check out Fresh Listings.

1480 Ithaca Dr [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 1480 Ithaca Dr | $1.4MA nicely updated, albeit common Table Mesa bi-level with an elevated master suite. Ithaca drive is a through-street, and gets some traffic, but the location is also in close proximity to the park and shopping plaza. Why notable? If you're shopping in South Boulder, you're going to see a lot of bi-levels. It's a benchmark type of property for Table Mesa, in particular, and important to track if you want to understand the market. Bi-levels typically sell for a discount compared to a traditional two-story home.Deal notes: Listed in early September for $1,429,000, 1480 Ithaca was under contract quickly and sold within [...]

2127 Fourmile Canyon Drive [Boulder Notable]
BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 2127 Fourmile Canyon Drive| $1.2M It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of mountain property, and I happen to drive past this one nearly everyday. It's a beautiful perch overlooking the canyon but also very close to a busy road. This means frequent traffic noise and potential air quality issues, negative factors somewhat offset by the views. The three bedroom, three bath home itself was attractive and yet slightly updated. There was also no garage. Supposedly the seller had obtained estimates to build one, although no mention of required permits or engineering to build on a perch. Listed [...]
