I discovered a fabulous fixer-upper just around the corner from downtown Boulder's Central Park as I was heading to the Boulder Creek Festival this past weekend. Shabby chic is big in Boulder, and if you are able to get hold of this little gem, as seen in the photograph above, you will be king of the hill in that department. Granted, it does need a few touchups, but nothing that a little elbow grease won't fix. A new door, a few new windows, a little bit of work on the interior, and you'll have yourself a 986 square foot, 3 bedroom, 1 bath place to call home. Granted, it is located on Arapahoe Avenue, which is a pretty busy street, and is right across from Boulder High School, but after all, it is all about location, location, location. Think of that view of the Flatirons! And living a 10-minute walk away from the Pearl Street Mall has to be priceless. And speaking of price, I see on Zillow that it is not for sale, but the estimated value is around $752,000. I am sure you could reduce that price significantly if you stress to the owner how much you love the place and will make it THE showplace of Boulder. And even if you can't get a price reduction, although it is only 986 square feet with just 1 bathroom, it does have 3 bedrooms, and so you could rent out 2 of them to University of Colorado students to help pay the mortgage. Sounds cozy, doesn't it? Be sure to make an offer on it today!
