I Love Boulder Mountain Views
The houses along Norwood are some of my all-time favorites. I love that the street zig zags with landscaping and speed bumps. Probably a fire fighter’s nightmare, but it does make for a gorgeous road. The homes to the south side are of course bigger, many with commanding mountain and plains views. Every so often, a court juts off with a handful of homes offering exquisite mountain views. This is the case for 1650 Wilson Ct, 1 of 10 Most Expensive Real Estate Sales in Boulder Co the past thirty days.
Wilson Ct. Gives you a great impression of the amazing views up along Norwood
Closing for $50K better than list price, 1650 Wilson Court is a gorgeous home in NoBo tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just off ever popular Norwood Ave. The home certainly commands amazing views of the Boulder Flatiron Mountains. An elegantly remodeled home brimming with sophistication and charm. The home included a 1/4 share of Silver Lake ditch rights and a roof top office with 360 degree views. Final price: $2,800,000.
And yet, with Boulder Colo real estate, your neighbors might be anything. A few doors over, there is the most amazing flower garden; it looks like an enormous basket. And just around the corner from that? A home with a gravel driveway and in need of some fresh paint. Or, possibly, a wonderful opportunity for you and your favorite architect to navigate building in Boulder.
Maxwell Park
Around the corner, you’ll encounter 700 Linden Avenue. Closing for under two million, it is 1 of the 10 Most Expensive Real Estate Sales in Boulder the past 30 days.

Almost across the street is Maxwell Park. Walk up a short, unassuming dirt berm and you are rewarded with a dirt trail encircling a pristine pond.
