BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 1844 Pine Street | $2.7M Foursquares are also sometimes called a Prairie Square. Popularized by Sears and Roebuck as a kit or mail-order home in the early 1900's, its simple and functional design remains a hallmark today, making it one of the most popular styles of historic homes. 1844 Pine Street was built in 1904 and acquired by the seller in 2005 for just over a $1M. Other than a new kitchen, it doesn't look like much changed during the owner's tenure. According to the historic building inventory records, it was occupied by Joseph Rusho in 1913, a potentially [...]

1209 Main St [Louisville Notable]
LOUISVILLE NOTABLE SALE: 1209 Main St | $1.17M Our clients took a serious interest in this house, but eventually decided to pass based on the proximity of the fire station and the busy traffic on Main. The disclosures also mentioned potential moisture intrusion in the basement, which was a cause for concern. Otherwise, it's an ideal location due to its proximity to the historic downtown. The lot was oversized and the house itself historic, but functional with reasonable square footage and a decent layout. The updates were tastefully done. Deal notes: Listed at $1.0M, 1209 Main Street attracted a lot of buyer interest and sold for $175K over [...]

453 Pine Street [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 453 Pine Street | $5.9MWhat Makes It Notable? We wrote about this gorgeous Four Square when it first hit the market in August of 2020. Acquired fifteen years ago, it was beautifully updated and renovated by the owner. I'm quite surprised it didn't sell faster. During its listing period, it went under contract several times before a buyer completed the purchase. This is not uncommon for higher-end properties. From a marketing perspective, the seller priced on the high side but stuck with it. That's part of the strategy for luxury homes. There were no price reductions throughout the listing history. It eventually sold for 6.3% below the list [...]
805 Dewey Ave [Notable Sale]
HOUSE EINSTEIN NOTABLE SALE: 805 Dewey Ave | $1.8M Why Is It Notable? It's bittersweet to see this listing go.

The house itself is historic and beautifully updated inside, while retaining its character. The location is just out of the Mapleton Historic district, with easy access to downtown restaurants, North Boulder Park, Ideal Market, and Mt. Sanitas open space. If you missed an opportunity to buy it, you might still get a shot at living inside. The new owner intends to rent it for a short period. Feel [...]

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.
