Location: Denver Price: $5.5 million This estate is one of two mansions built side-by-side in the 1930s for two sisters, said Jon Gordon, a broker associate with Kentwood Real Estate, an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate. The French Normandy-style home was designed by Fisher & Fisher of Denver. “It comes from a very elegant era. It’s a wonderful estate, but it’s also a big family home,” he said. The 1.25-acre estate abuts the Denver Country Club's golf course. The estate, which has been owned by one family since 1953, originally had more than 2 acres. The property was listed about a year ago, but then subsequently divided and relisted. Features include a three-story cantilevered staircase, original barreled and frescoed ceilings, hand-carved bookcases, and travertine floors and fireplaces. To the north, the house has views of the Denver skyline. It’s also within walking distance to Cherry Creek, an upscale area of shops and restaurants. The home features seven bedrooms, a large fitness room with a steam bath in the basement, a library, and a seven-car garage. A lounge bar opens onto a grand patio that can accommodate about 100 people.
