After a long negotiation process we finally have confirmation that the house we’ve been considering for weeks now will be ours!  We heard about the house before it was even on the market (our realtor’s ‘office mate’ was listing it) and accepted a counter-offer the day it was listed.  That same day they had 17 showings and several ‘seriously interested’ buyers, which just shows you  how sought after this area is.  The house is in Table Mesa neighborhood on the south side of Boulder (SoBo).  It has easy access to Denver and Bill’s work in Broomfield, but is also less than 10 minutes from downtown Boulder (Pearl St) and a short walk from the Boulder trail network.  Right across the street from us is Harlow Platts Park with children’s play structures and great running, walking, and biking trails for us and the girls, as well as Viele Lake.  The South Boulder Recreation Center is just two blocks away and the schools (elementary, middle, and high school all top 10 in the state) are a short walk away.

The house is a completely renovated 1960’s bi-level home.  In the debate of ‘big in the suburbs or a little tight in Boulder’ the best choice for us hands down was Boulder.  It is more expensive than the surrounding areas (less house for your dollar), but Boulder has everything we want for our family. We already feel at home there.

So, our address as of March 19th will be:

1535 Gillaspie Dr.
Boulder, CO 80305
