Listed late last August, this gorgeous luxury home is located in one of the most desirable spots in Boulder - west of 9th street. It also backs directly to Boulder Creek, perfect for dipping your toes in the water and watching the world tube by.

Deal Notes
The seller listed the home for $3.79 M and it was on the market for a little over two months before a contract was accepted. It sold for $3.7M or 2.4% below asking, with no disclosed concessions.
