Amazingly beautiful Whittier neighborhood area w/ all the delight of a turn of the century home, exposed brick, gorgeous trim & finish, w/ modern kitchen & master suite & bath that you’d expect. Totally remodeled in ’04, new roof in ’05, completely new sewer ’09, & meticulously maintained. New highly efficient thermal double pane windows in ’09, pre-inspected, buyer’s home warranty, & a rare find in this coveted neighborhood priced below market value. Walk to everything. You will love this one!
And well, a little more to think about:
The best of both worlds, the charm and character of
an older property with all of the amenities of a modern newly updated home.
In 2004 remodeled kitchen w corian counters and stainless appliances & master luxury
bath w radiant heat floor. New roof in 2005, and this in 2009 the interior has been
repainted and all of the windows have been replaced with new double
paned thermal energy efficient windows. The home also got a brand new sewer line from house to street in 2009, and in 2012 the water heater was replaced with a Rinnai tankless heater to save you time, money and so you’ll never run out of water.

beautiful hardwood floors, gas fireplace, exposed brick inside, brand new Storage shed, Bronzed door hardware, Kitchen Aid dishwasher (full stainless inside and out), Kitchen Aid Convection stove / oven, oversized laundry room (measures about 10?x10?), beautiful oak floors throughout the home except for the custom tile in the master luxury bath, updated electrical including new main service panel so you have plenty of power for all of your modern electronics, (too many of the older Boulder homes are missing this feature).
Besides all that, it’s back to the old adage: Location, Location, Location. Your new home is two short blocks to the Whittier International School, a short walk to the brand new completely rebuilt Casey Middle School, about a 5 minute walk to Pearl Street downtown, and about five blocks to Whole Foods.
What more could you ask for in a new Boulder home?

Lovers Hill Park, and the secret trail to this little park between Bluff Street and Mesa in the Whittier Neighborhood area is quite a pleasant little surprise.
There are many of these pedestrian cut through trails and stairways even in downtown.
Long before residents were thinking of bike paths, cleaning up the Boulder Creek area and creating a trail, or planned communities around the city and county with pre planned pedestrian pathways, Boulder essentially experienced an ‘organic’ development as people moved through town on foot and created what has become some little known routes to access one street from another.
As you wander through neighborhood like Whittier, central western Boulder and even Newlands you’ll find paths and stairways like this one that take you through the neighborhoods on a pleasant journey you can only experience on foot.

This beautiful home is the largest in the neighborhood. It includes so many updates you will love!

Your new home has designer features that are just what you are looking for such as custom paint, custom interior plantation-style shutters (the previous owner was in the window covering, and interior design business)

Your kitchen has matching Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, custom painted cabinets, and plenty of room for the gourmet chef, or just the right set up for building that comfort-food family style meal. As an added bonus, the window over the sink lets you see right into the back yard so you’re fully integrated into that space.

The stairs and entire upper floor has brand spankin’ new carpet! It also has 3 bedrooms including the master suite with luxury five-piece bathroom, full bath in the hall, and two more bedrooms to complete the package.

The main floor has REAL wood floors throughout the living room, kitchen, dining room and even the massive great room!

Speaking of the Great Room, this wonderful space includes cherry built in cabinets and desk space on one end so you can handle homework, a home business etc. without being isolated or disconnected from those you love and live with. If that’s not your style, there’s plenty of space in the finished basement for an dedicated home office.

Out through the french doors and onto the refinished rear deck you’ll see a lovely back yard complete with a vegetable garden, lots of fruit trees, mature landscaping, and a side deck which is easily accessible from the great room on the side of the home. A perfect place for your BBQ grill!

As if that wasn’t enough, your new home is located at the end of the cul-de-sac, and yet it still gives you very easy acces to the Coal Creek trail system.

It’s clearly a great location, and isn’t that what it’s all about? Local shopping includes Jax Outdoor, Sprouts Market and King Soopers Grocery, Joe’s Bike Shop, Starbucks, and even WalMart is just a few minutes away.

Wait! There’s more! This home is Pre-Inspected for your assurance that there’s no missed or deferred maintenance. The sellers wanted to make sure that you know exactly what you’re getting in your new home so they’ve taken the extra step to have a professional home inspection by Jeff Lyons at A-Pro Home Inspection, carefully reviewed the report, and repaired the small number of items they couldn’t see with their own eyes. You get a copy of the report! Just ask your agent to pull a PDF down from IRES/MLS when gathering the other disclosures to prepare your contract. Even the Seller’s Property Disclosure is there so you know exactly what your new home is all about, not like that other stuff you’ve looked at, which may not have such loving care and preparation.

But wait! There’s still more! The sellers are offering you a one-year buyer’s home warranty. They want you to have all the assurance you can get, and to make sure you don’t have to worry about unexpected surprises.

Are you a first-time home buyer, or haven’t owned a home in the last 3 years? Hold onto your cash!
You may qualify for an FHA/CHFA home loan that only requires $1k down payment. It’s true!

Spanish Hills is a locally and nationally famous neighborhood with amazing views. It’s infamy is due in large part to local and national best-selling author Steven White who’s character in his award winning novels features Dr. Alan Gregory. In fact, in a recent post by the author, here’s a quote from one of his comments about ‘to link, or not to link’ from his electronic version of his recent book: “The Last Lie”…

Spanish Hills – Alan and Lauren’s hillside neighborhood east of Boulder. It’s rural, pricey, and has oh-my-god views to the west. If you stop at the scenic overlook on Highway 36 on the way into town, and turn so that the Rockies are on your left, you will be gazing upon Spanish Hills (if your eyes are open, of course).

One of the things many people love about Spanish Hills is the seemingly remote location, dominated by large lots with homes dating back from the 1950′s all the way through the 1990′s and even more recent builds.

It’s proximity to Boulder, Denver, Louisville and easy transportation access are unmatched.

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!

View Larger 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?
