Boulder Real Estate In East Boulder For Sale
I have a tour for you of a home for sale at 5543 Stonewall in east Boulder. This is Boulder real estate in a very nice location, and you might overlook this property unless you get to see all the amenities. That’s why I have this tour for you. Of course, if you really want to experience all that this home will give you, you should see it in person. Please call or email me if you’d like to have me set up a personal tour for you.
This is a single-family home that’s right on the park-like setting of one of the paths in the neighborhood. The park and path confluence even includes a pond, and many mature trees and shrubs.
What I also really like about this home is the way it’s situated on the lot. You see, even though the homes are somewhat close together, as many homes are in Boulder that have been built in the last 20 years or less, it’s oriented in a way that maximizes privacy and light.
You’ll also love knowing that the kitchen and master bath have been updated. The master bath and main floor bath have beautiful tile, which looks a lot like Travertine. There’s also a nicely done application of fire-glazed tile surrounding the mirrors in these two bathrooms. Look for this feature in the tour.
Many of the three-level homes I’ve been in like this one seem to have a ‘narrow’ feeling. That’s not true at all for this home. The moment you walk in, you can see the openness and expansiveness I felt when I toured this home for you.
The main floor has oak floors throughout. That gives this home a very warm, but modern feeling and it’s a great update that really works well and makes this home feel special. The visual connection between the living, dining, and kitchen areas works very well, and all of this space is set off by the private view of the landscaped back patio area. This view floats right on out to the park and path confluence with the pond.
Now, here are the stats for you so you don’t think I forgot that you need this important data before you consider calling for a private tour. The home includes three bedrooms, three baths, and it’s over 2100 square feet. Of that 2100+ square feet, the listing agent, Stephanie, says that 1975 of those are finished space.
You’ll see in the tour I made for you that the home looks just like a new model home. That’s because Stephanie and the sellers were smart about their work, and hired Design Matters Home to stage the property.The staging work is only found in the tour you can see above, the still photos here in my article are prior to the staging work.
Staging is helpful for you because I’ve found it’s much easier to imagine yourself living in the space if it’s furnished to show off all of the features and spaces. This home shows just like a model home, and the work that Helly from Design Matters did here gives you an excellent read on how the home can work for you when you move into it.
You’ll see some of the staging in the tour, but the best way to determine if you might be able to call this home your home, is to get inside and experience it first-hand.
I’d like to give you that opportunity, and I think you’re best served to have a trusted Boulder Realtor on your side when buying Boulder real estate. If you’re ready, please call or email me now and I’ll set up a private and personal tour of this home for you at your convenience.

Boulder Real Estate for sale at 3773 Orange Ln
Here’s some very well done Boulder real estate for sale at 3773 Orange Lane. Call or email me if you’re ready to see the inside of this home in person, and I’ll set up your private tour at your convenience.
If you need lots of space, but are looking for something that isn’t your typical wasted space mc-mansion, this could be the ticket.
I know you hear this kind of thing a lot, but after making this tour, I feel that this home really is one of those that you have to see in person to truely appreciate. I love the way the rooms feel light and open, flow well together, and yet give you all sorts of places to find privacy.
I can see this as a great entertainment home, and at the same time, a wonderful place for a family given the way it’s put together.
It’s on a quiet and secluded cul-de-sac in north Boulder in a subdivision called Forest Glen which is part of the Wonderland Lake area.
What I found in this home was a very nice touch, by a clever architect. It’s the kind of home that I believe would appeal to many people, and yet it has some special touches that make it unique and exciting.
This home also has a good sized lot at just over 15,000 square feet, which has some views of the flatirons in the winter, and apparently a great sense of privacy in the summer.
You’ll get six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a formal dining room, family room, separate laundry, living room, rec room, also a study/office, and an oversized garage. Now, most everyone claims ‘over-sized’ when they call out the garage these days, but 720 square feet for a two car garage is truly over-sized!
The entire home was remodeled recently and includes high-end appliances such as Maytag and Dacor.
The local bike path is only about 100 yards away, and another cool feature of the neighborhood is the silverlake ditch that runs along the edge of the property.
The finished basement is bright and sunny due to the smart way the full egress windows have been handled, and it also includes a guest suite with a full bathroom.
If you’re ready to get inside this wonderful home and explore, please call or email me so we can set up an appointment for your private tour.

Boulder Condos at The Walnut
You may have been wondering about the progress at some Boulder condos called The Walnut. Well, the wait is over.
I met with Jon Brandon from Morgan Creek Ventures about a week ago, and he gave me a tour of The Walnut. I want you to see the tour that we put together for you.
If you like what you see in this tour I made for you, and you’re interested in arranging a private tour of your own to pick out your new home at The Walnut, call or email me and I’ll get you inside for a personal and up close look at this very unique and beautiful development.
Two tid-bits I got from Jon about his project are that he’s including many green building techniques, and also that he brought a term with him from Chicago called the “Sky Home”.
You can see in my tour here some of the advantages of a building that emphasizes maximizing views, light, and luxurious living.
This is a very unique condominium project in many respects. What I want you to look for in my tour is the Sky Bridge, which connects the northern and southern portions of the development, the views from one of the Sky Homes, and the courtyard. You’ll also get a glimpse of the larger than normal decks and patios, which is just one example of how hard Jon and his team worked to bring us an extraordinary example of what fine architects and developers can do with a downtown development.
I’ll give you another tour in a few weeks as the work moves along at The Walnut. You’ll get to see how the interior finish on some of the homes comes together, and you’ll also see the expansive courtyard come alive as we get into spring. I also want you to see the living roof when that’s done. Talk about green… wow… but the living roof won’t be ready until we get some warmer weather.
The use of a well-designed living courtyard, the Sky Bridge, and other unique architectural and design techniques are all about bringing a project to you that has very meaningful use of outdoor space, and very limited waste of common space.
In the meantime, watch what I have here for you, and let me know if you have a specific desire to know about a particular feature of The Walnut. This is just a taste of what’s coming. We’ll also explore more about the development’s LEED certification, and perhaps even some of the history of the location.
Some of the original building was not torn down, but instead, in combination with the deconstruction focus, structural elements were reused to continue with the sensitivity to green building issues and the environment.
If you’ve been in Boulder long enough, you might remember a restaurant called Michaels which was in a unique location for a fine-dining restaurant: the basement. That area is completely redesigned and updated, and part of it now provides private parking and storage for residents
If you’re thinking about buying or even just strongly curious, why not call or email me so you can get a private tour for yourself. There have been a few homes sold already, and while those are indeed a couple of the choice locations in the development, several outstanding homes are still available.
If you buy soon, you’ll likely be able to dictate design and finish details to your liking, or even possibly make some layout choices, but those kind of modifications will become difficult very quickly. The homes here will see completion in late January to early February 2009, and people are already planning on moving into their new Walnut homes in some units as early as February. One early buyer did actually add square footage to his Walnut home, and even managed to add in a very large private top-level patio, but that required a fairly early commitment to purchase, of course.
Call or email me if you’re ready, and I’ll arrange a private tour for you at your convenience. I’d love for you to see in person what homes at The Walnut have for you.

Boulder Real Estate on South 35th Street
I found this Boulder real estate for sale in Martin Acres a pleasant surprise. It’s a home that doesn’t have a bunch of crazy changes but instead seems to have many of the great architectural features that the original architect intended, with a few modern enhancements.
I want you to see the video tour I did on this home.
This home is light and airy feeling because it has large windows and skylights in most of the main rooms. The space between the living, dining and kitchen is very open and breathes with light and space.
Ok, sure that just sounded like some ad-speak, but it really was a very pleasant surprise.
In fact, the whole tour I did of Martin Acres and this home was a refreshing reminder of why people are gravitating back to this area.
Martin Park and the Martin acres neighborhood is full of big trees, quiet street and so many homes that seem to be in high demand.
This home in particular is a three bedroom, one bath with a couple of bonuses. It has a family room connecting the dining area to the garage, and off of the back of the family room is a three-season enclosed patio.
I think it’s worth taking a look, if you want a very affordable home in a well-established Boulder neighborhood.
Give me a call or an email today so we can get you inside and show you what this home in Martin Acres is all about.

Another Look At The Peloton Boulder
I thought you might like another look at The Peloton in Boulder. You’ve heard about The Peloton before, but I have some new stuff for you, and also more info about the location and surrounding shops, trails and benefits in this part of Boulder. The Peloton is Boulder real estate with a twist.
In this tour, I’m giving you a chance to see some other aspects of the location. What I’ve heard from some of you is that you wanted more info on what’s in the area. If you want to talk to me now, call or email me for more great info.
Since the Peloton is located at the former Excabyte location, the footprint stretches between 33rd and 38th. That means that it’s just steps away from the sunrise center where King Soopers, and many other local favorites are located.
Also, even though it sounds like three blocks, it’s only steps away to the 29th Street Mall. Since the Century Theater is on the eastern edge of Twenty Ninth, you just have a short stroll across the parking lot at King Soopers to get to the theater, unless of course you would rather sit in the private 22-seat theater in the Peloton community center!
There’s an RTD bus stop right on Arapahoe Road outside building C at The Peloton, and that means easy access to the RTD bus sytem for a quick trip downtown (that’s Boulder or Denver). You’ll like this part: all owners at The Peloton get an RTD Eco Pass. That means unlimited rides anywhere you want to go on the RTD system!
If biking is your thing, consider that The Peloton property is adjacent to the bicycle / pedestrian path so that means you can easily get right on the path (and off the roadway) to ride downtown, out east, or over to just about any part of the Boulder valley area via the interconnected bike path system.
Now here’s the cool thing; if you don’t have a bike, you can use one of The Peloton bikes. There’s a fleet of mountain bikes that come to you as part of the homeowner’s association. Just check one out for the afternoon, or the whole weekend, and go wherever you want. You can even take it out of town!
If driving is still your thing, that’s cool too. you’re about 30 seconds away from the foothills parkway for an easy run down to Denver via the Boulder Turnpike. Or it’s about 4 minutes to Pearl Street in downtown Boulder. And the best thing of all, your Peloton home comes with an underground parking space in a heated security garage. You didn’t think you were going to park that Aston Martin out on the street did you?
Oh, one more thing, you might also already know that The Peloton is home to the only year-round rooftop swimming pool. There are a few other projects around Boulder that include a pool, but nothing quite like this. If you’re looking for year ’round swimming, you’ll find a couple of older projects like Remington Post and Horizon West that have pools, but they’re indoors, and about 30 to 40 years old. Some smaller projects around town have outdoor pools too, but those aren’t projects that hold a candle to The Peloton and all the amenities you’ll find here.
If you want the full-meal deal, The Peloton rooftop is where you should be. It has two huge hot-tubs beautiful teak lounge chairs, built in gas grills, a poolside shower, outdoor gas fireplace and a radiant heated deck. It’s all part of the private community center housed in a 20,000 + sq ft security building.
Last, but not least, there’s something new in terms of floorplans here. It’s called “have it your way”. Nope, we’re not at Burger King, we’re at The Peloton, where you can get just about any configuration you want in a floorplan layout. Want to own the whole top floor of Building D ? … just ask! These guys want to accomodate your wildest ideas and make the home of your dreams come alive. Sounds to me like the sky’s the limit, if you have the right budget.
If you are ready to see The Peloton for yourself, call or email me now so that we can talk, and plan a date to get you a private tour. Let’s go in together so you have buyer’s agent (that’s me!) representation when you buy your next home from the great people at The Peloton in Boulder.

Whittier Neighborhood Boulder CO
A funny thing about many Boulder neighborhoods is that over time, different ideas develop about what the boundaries are for the area we think we know.
If you’re interested in Boulder real estate and want to know more about different neighborhoods, I’m offering this as a resource, and I’ve compiled information from a variety of different sources.
Here’s a short video tour of my thoughts on the Whittier neighborhood below. There’s also a useful map and additional information here below the map!
I’ve lived in many different parts of Boulder. The Whittier neighborhood is one of them. When you drive around the downtown area many people think only of the vicinity of Boulder near Whittier Elementary as the true Whittier neighborhood.
The City of Boulder data says that the Whittier neighborhood encompasses the residential sections of Boulder between Bluff Street to the North, 28th Street to the East, Canyon Boulevard to the South, and Broadway to the West.
That’s a pretty large area and most of us consider those parts of downtown something other than ‘Whittier’. With all the changes and developments in the central Boulder area, it’s probably more useful to talk about Whittier as the eastern part of central Boulder from about 18th or 19th streets eastward over to 28th Street as a maximum eastern boundary.
One of the cool things about the Whittier neighborhood is that it’s home to Whittier Elementary School, which is the oldest continuing operating school in the state. It’s also an International Baccalaureate school.
I have a friend that grew up in Boulder and went to Whittier Elementary. I’m pretty sure one or both of his parents went there. I know that his kids went to school at Whittier Elementary, and even though he and parts of his family have lived in other parts of the country, he has lived in the Whittier neighborhood for the last decade or two… in the home that his grandparents owned since he was a child. Now that’s some local history and connection.
Besides having friends in the Whittier area, I’ve helped both buyers and sellers in this neighborhood over the years. If you think you might need some help with real estate in Whittier, why not call or email me soon so we can talk about what you’re planning?
Noble Park Neighborhood Boulder CO
One of the quiet neighborhoods that I like is an area called Noble Park. It’s just north east of Valmont road and 47th Parkway. Do you think Boulder real estate can have all you really want for under a million dollars? Guess again. Noble park may just fit the bill.
There are some offices in this area that buffer the residential portion of the neighborhood. In fact, my insurance agent has his office in the area ever since he moved from the corporate office in Gunbarrel.
There’s a small pond in the area just at the trail head to part of the extensive bike and pedestrian path system that connects all parts of Boulder and even other parts of the county including the towns of Niwot, Louisville, Lafayette and Longmont.
I remember living in Gunbarrel and using the Cottonwood trail to ride into Boulder from my home. It was great to be able to roll all the way into town without spending time on the roads. The Cottonwood Trail’s west end finished right into the Noble Park neighborhood.
What’s nice about that is you can jump on the path again and scoot over to Boulder, or head out to any number of another locations along the integrated path system.
Noble park is worth checking out. It’s a smaller area that’s full of tree lined streets. Some of the homes have rear-loading garages so the street appeal is kind of idyllic and nostalgic. I have some clients that thought the area reminded them of old school neighborhoods ‘back east’ that were built before all of our garages defined the look from the street.
There are also condos in the neighborhood, which further enhance the buffer from 47th for the single family homes, but hold their own as well designed and desirable homes. The area is full of trees, paths and very near Hayden Lake.
If you think you’d like to consider living in Noble Park, or just want more info about Boulder neighborhoods, give me a call or an email and we’ll get started finding you the new home that’s right for you.
Gunbarrel Green Neighborhood Boulder CO
You may already know about the Gunbarrel area near IBM, but I want to give you a little background on the area, and here we’ll go over the neighborhood that launched the area due to IBM. It’s called Gunbarrel Green. It’s a part of Boulder real estate that still remains elusive to some out-of-town buyers, and it’s an area you should explore before you firm up your decision about where to live in the Boulder area.
In 1957 IBM bought 640 acres of land near the Boulder reservoir for a new facility. Along came local developers, the Williams brothers, who thought it would make sense to move the Boulder Country Club from its current location east of Boulder on Arapahoe avenue to a new spot.
The basic idea the Williams brothers had was to build a residential development to subsidize the costs associate with the country club and golf course.
IBM executives, and others, took the bait and made the new development a successful residential neighborhood that thrives today even more than it did in the 1960’s.
While other developers came into play over the years, building other neighborhoods in the area over the last few decades, Gunbarrel Green continues to be one of the core neighborhoods of high demand for many reasons.
There’s a trend of remodeling going on through the area as people rediscover what a desireable location most of the Gunbarrel community can be. It’s full of custom homes, many of them with great views of the foothills and mountains, and many also bordering on the golf course of the Boulder Country Club.
If you think you’d like to explore your options about living in Gunbarrel Green, or any other part of the Gunbarrel area, you should call me or email me today so we can get you the information and help you need.
Martin Acres Neighborhood Boulder CO
The Martin Acres neighborhood in Boulder is a part of town that was once a Boulder suburb. When it was built in the 1950’s, it was considered a bit of a distance from the center of town. You should check out this video tour, and the map below, if you think Boulder real estate in Martin Acres might be for you.
Over the years, it has seen some changes as it went from a community oriented around young families, to a neighborhood full of rental homes fueled mainly by CU college students. The trend in the recent decade or so has been back towards owner occupied homes, many of them with children who seem to love taking advantage of the park, based on what I saw during our visit.
There are about 1300 single family homes in Martin Acres, and three apartment complexes.
The core of Martin Acres is the large piece of real estate which includes Martin Park and Creekside Elementary. Creekside boasts that it’s K-2 classes are sporting a low student to teacher ratio of about 18-1. Compared to many others that can run well over 20 or more, that’s admirable.
The homes are essentially built around the land that includes the park and the elementary school.
The school is at the north end of the park just across the creek which divides the land that includes the park and school.
This neighborhood is now considered a very central part of Boulder by today’s standards. It’s an easy walk over to the Table Mesa shopping area which includes many well known businesses including Southern Sun, King Soopers, North Face, and a plethora of other local favorites.
What’s also really nice about this neighborhood is that it’s so convenient to local transportation options; a major bus route along Broadway, the table mesa park-n-ride for RTD, the Baseline Rd. ramp onto the Boulder turnpike (Hwy 36), and best of all, the bike/pedestrian path that connects with the Boulder trail system.
Martin Acres has a neighborhood association which was formed in 1977. So for those of you who want to live in an area that has some sort of community guidance towards how well the neighborhood is maintained, how big houses can get, or other typical association guidelines, this may be a bonus for you.
There’s easy access to the local labs like NIST, NCAR, NOAA and of course CU Boulder.
If you want to know more about homes in Martin Acres, or another Boulder neighborhood, please call or email me now so that we can get started answering your important questions.
