About This Home

As of July 2025

So many possibilities. This home is great, very cool floor plan and functional as is. Cool retro bathrooms and some updates in kitchen and flooring. Move in and pick your projects as a create your own equity type of home as an owner occupant. Fix and flip or rental hold with great upside is also very much a possibility. Centaur Village has already had many homes flipped in the area in the 800s and none of them have this location and lot size. Corner home that backs to sports fields and no homes. Huge yard that accesses the neighborhood trails, wide open views, fenced in dog run area with dog doors from the garage, storage shed, raised deck off of the kitchen. Any upgrading or elbow grease will be rewarded with great instant equity. Lafayette is a smoking hot with great new amenities and access to both Boulder and Denver. Hurry on this one. This is what building a real estate portfolio looks like, whether you have short term or long term goals this one makes sense with huge upside.
