MLS #160829 – Chateau Eau Claire, Central Core, 1034 E Cooper Avenue 11, Aspen, CO; Riverfront 2-Bdrm Condo; Sold Price: $2,055,000/$2,129 sq ft; furnished. Sold Date: 09/20/2019. Aspen condos for sale. Ask Price: $2,075,000. (Original Price: $2,075,000 and 92 days on the market since 06/21/2019.) This is a 1972 built and 2008 remodeled, 2 bedroom/2 bath, 965 sq ft condos. Tim’s notes: The unit is on the top, third, floor of the complex somewhat detracting from the on river experience in that one has to look down onto the river rather than across at the river. The 2008 remodel is ‘heavy’ with high quality wood and stone finishes. The unit is high quality and immediately short term rentable, but it is somewhat dated. Broker comments are “This 2-bedroom top floor, riverfront residence is just blocks from Aspen’s Gondola, and is one of only a handful of Aspen condominiums that is elevator-served. The warm mountain-style interiors feature alder wood beams, cabinetry and doors, granite countertops, and stone floors. A dry stacked stone accent wall is the focal point of the living room which creates an inviting space to unwind by the wood-burning fireplace, or, pull up a chair on the large private deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Roaring Fork River. Chateau Eau Claire’s amenities include elevator, ski storage lockers, hot tub, bbq grill, and on-site parking. Owners, guests, and renters also have access to the year-round pool and hot tubs at Chateau Roaring Fork across the street.” 2018 taxes: $4,076; HOA Dues: $15,680. City of Aspen RETT Transfer Tax of approx. 1.5% payable by buyer. Under Contract Date: 08/08/2019; Sold Date: 09/20/2019.
