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.
Call or email me now, so we can start talking about what’s important to you about the Boulder real estate market! I look forward to hearing from you.

Boulder Real Estate For Sale: 3355 Lafayette Drive
In case my west coast buyers don’t connect with this home, I felt compelled to share this with you. The Showmans at MB have done an exquisite job on this home. I hope you’ll agree.
At just over $2,000,000 this home is a stunning example of Boulder real estate at its finest. Modern architectural style with warmth and beautiful design qualities I’ve not seen in many Boulder remodels.
This home is a little over 4200 finished square feet divided between three living levels. If you like expansive views of both the foothills and the city, you’ll love this house.
The windows and decks on the back of the house are just what the doctor ordered for a relaxing evening, or a sunny summer morning. Imagine enjoying a cup of morning coffee as the sun rises to light up the foothills a subtle shade of pink. You can enjoy it all either from the extensive deck, or from anywhere in the main floor living and kitchen areas.
Architect Harvey Hine hit another home run with his work with his complete remodel of this contemporary custom home. The master suite has its own private rooftop balcony with amazing foothills views, and an incredibly well-designed master bath, with a clever shower layout that incorporates a window to maximize the beautiful views.
There are 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and a very well done recreational room that is only the beginning of the special features on the lower level. There’s a fully-functional, and party-ready wet-bar, that includes the same sexy and sophisticated use of color and texture in flooring and custom tile found throughout the home.
Another special benefit of the attention to detail in this very well-done home is the multi-zoned radiant heating system. It allows you to separately control virtually every room in the home. Party time in the winter? Heat up the two lower floors. Hanging out in the master suite for a romantic weekend? Leave the rest of the home cool as the master heats up.
While this is in the upper price range for many parts of town, this neighborhood has been trending towards the higher end prices and very high end remodels for several years, giving this area a proven track record of solid value and appreciation.
The home has amenities that you can take straight to the bank, especially in this climate of questionable investments in the stock market.
Boulder real estate continues to be a solid investment, and with benefits including a great location and tremendous views, you can rest assured you’ll get a great return on your money with this wonderful home.
Call or email me today to get your own private showing.
