The Most Expensive Denver Homes for Sale Right Now

Since January 2013, amid what blossomed into one of the wilder real estate booms in Denver history, we've periodically spotlighted the most expensive homes for sale in the Mile High City. And as you'll see below, the current abodes in this category are as spectacular as they are spendy.

But that's only part of the story.

Looking back on the priciest properties in posts published over the past six-plus years, it's clear that while Denver home costs in general have risen steadily, with the average tag eventually exceeding $500,000, the luxury market appears to have remained fairly steady. For instance, that January 2013 item focused on five houses that ranged in price from $5,900,000 to $15,000,000. The former number is nearly $1 million higher than the sixth-most expensive home for sale right now, and the latter is more than $1 million more than the latest leader.

That doesn't mean luxury homes in the metro area are a comparative bargain. Note that one of the most expensive Denver homes for sale in December 2017, located at 910 Gaylord, is also on the block today, yet the asking amount has gone up, not down. Back then, it was listed at $5,850,000. Now, it's $5,990,000.

Six years ago, a talented team of craftsmen, architects and landscape designers undertook the ambitious renovation of this beautiful 1932 Tudor home that was originally designed by noted local architects Fisher & Fisher. Known for designing "bride's delights" (first homes for young married couples), this home was no exception: It was a wedding gift from the grandson of Colorado’s second governor, John Evans, to his daughter, Alice Evans, and her husband, Hudson Moore.

The setting is simply spectacular — overlooking the Denver Country Club golf course, downtown and mountains, with views forever protected by recorded deed. Landscape architects Vogel and Associates (Palmilla in Cabo San Lucas, Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Grand County, CO) designed the 1.3 acres to recapture the original beauty of the landscape, rose gardens and views. A flagstone patio, outdoor kitchen and fire pit are a few of the outdoor highlights.

The 2013/2014 renovation preserved the home’s history but added modern touches by combining small inefficient rooms into spaces that are more suitable for today’s style of living. Thick walls, original plaster ceilings and custom leaded glass windows pay respect to the past, with new HVAC, plumbing, electrical and Control4 systems providing the best of today’s technology. Gracious rooms are perfect for entertaining. All four bedroom suites are located on the second floor and each has its own private bathroom. Other features include a walk-in vault, a restored Otis elevator servicing all three floors, a four-season greenhouse, wine cellar, exercise room and two attached garages with space for four cars plus extra storage.

Minutes to Wash Park and Cherry Creek shops, restaurants and bike path. Easy access to downtown Denver and I-25.
