CONCORD AVE: Summertime in Boulder

Well, we've been in the house since the middle of June, just over 2 months, and we're loving it. Yes, it is OLD, and yes, it is SMALL, and yes, the garage LEAKS when it rains, and yes, the kitchen isn't as squeaky clean as that of Aberdeen. But, we knew what we were getting into when leaving a perfectly updated, remodeled 4 bed/3 bath ranch for a historic, unique, in-desperate-need-of-much TLC Victorian.

We received our completed as-builts from Josh, the craigslist.org-founded architect, and are happy with Step 1 of 1,000+ of the planning/construction process.

Also, before I start posting pics of styles I'd like to consider for the addition/remodel, here are some shots from our first summer at 512 Concord. We LOVE living in Downtown Boulder and are so happy Syd will grow up in this area.

We bike everywhere. Syd, of course, in tow.

We love the front porch. Thank goodness it's there; it adds livable square feet ;)

The library is a common hang-out; only a 5 minute ride on the bike.

And, the downhill ride to the Business Report is only 25 minutes. Now, coming UP to go home, is another story. Here is best pal Emily and myself on Bike to Work Day June 2009.
