A couple of weeks back, we took you on a tour of the luxury home owned by former Seattle Seahawks, now Denver Broncos’ quarterback, Russell Wilson, listed for sale in Bellevue, Washington, just east of Seattle..We also went shopping for a new home in Denver for Russell and his R&B singer/philanthropist wife, Ciara. We found a cozy home in a ritzy neighbourhood in Denver about the same size as the Bellevue home, but at half the asking price in Bellevue..The Wilson’s didn’t choose the home we found (oh well, it’s not like we were on commission), but they did like the neighbourhood we recommended and they are now the proud owners of a new estate in the Cherry Hills Village area in the affluent suburb of Englewood in central Denver..The deal for the news digs went down off-market, meaning it wasn’t listed for sale, so the actual selling price has yet to be revealed. . Screen-Shot-2022-04-25-at-2.01.12-PMRussell’s new swimming pool .The home was listed in 2018 and then again in 2019, for US$18 million and US$16.5 million respectively, with speculation it was purchased by the Wilsons for US$25 million, which, if true, would be a record for the most paid for a residential property in the Denver area, blowing away the previous one set in 2020 when a penthouse atop downtown’s Four Seasons Hotel was sold for $16 million..Is the US dollar worth more in Colorado than Washington? The proof may be in the fact the Wilson’s 11,000-sq. ft. Bellevue home is listed for sale at $36 million, while the $25 million they spent in Englewood bought them a home almost twice the size, at just more than 20,000 sq. ft..Inside are four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, plus a handful of powder rooms. Guest bedrooms are all ensuite.. Screen-Shot-2022-04-25-at-2.01.24-PMWilson can play piano after a hard practice .An apartment for guests or staff atop a detached garage adds another bedroom and bath..You’ll also find six fireplaces, a double-height foyer with a spectacular floating circular staircase, a panelled formal dining room, and a lacquered library inside the three-storey home. .The principal suite contains two lavish baths, two boutique-style dressing rooms and two studies. .Play and recreation areas include an indoor swimming pool and spa, a state-of-the art screening room, and a yoga studio/gym that overlooks an indoor basketball court.. Screen-Shot-2022-04-25-at-2.01.39-PMDining room .The exterior of the mansion is decked out entirely in stone, featuring views of the Rocky Mountains from groomed gardens, featuring a serene pond and waterfall, an outdoor fireplace set in the centre of a circle of trees, and a large dining terrace alongside a great sweep of lawn large enough that Wilson could probably add his own private football field if he wanted..Cherry Hills Village is well known for its Broncos’ sightings..Preston Manning and John Elway have both called the tiny community home. Former Bronco’s head coach Mike Shanahan owned a 32,000-sq. ft. mansion just two doors down from Wilson and Ciara’s new home, which he sold last year for US$15.7 million..Myke Thomas is a Western Standard contributor
