Property Description

Set against the majestic Rocky Mountains, the timeless elegance of the French countryside is realized in this luxurious Cherry Hills Village estate. Just minutes from downtown Denver, this new +/-2.26-acre rural retreat seamlessly blends wood and stone to create an opulent display of world-class architecture. Sprawling more than more than 14,000 finished square feet, 5800 Piedmont Drive boasts eight magnificent bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, three half baths, and six fireplaces. The extensive list of not-so-common common rooms includes a gourmet kitchen with two huge islands, a grand family room with a 24-foot cathedral ceiling topped with hand-crafted exposed wood trusses, an elaborately-adorned formal dining room, a library with built-in bookshelves, a state-of-the-art theater with two-level seating and a collector's-dream 11-car garage. Central to 5800 Piedmont Drive's splendor is the winding staircase in the picturesque main foyer where guests are welcomed to the gala. An impressive 4,000-square-foot recreation area, complete with walk-in wine cellar, is spacious enough to host 200 black-tie-wearing friends. Though its massive size alone is impressive, the beauty behind this lavish retreat can be seen in the careful attention to detail and genuine appreciation for the finest quality building materials and accoutrements. 5800 Piedmont Drive is definitely in an elite class all its own. Throughout the residence, intricately carved, antique white crown moldings pair with ornate pillars and meticulously detailed window trimmings to further convey the enchanting theme. Below, southern chestnut floors stretch throughout most of the first floor. The kitchen is a chef's delight, with professional-grade Wolf appliances surrounded by granite counters and cherry cabinetry. Other amenities include an additional lounge and kitchen off the garage, and a complete nanny's quarters inside the carriage house. This brand new home is available at auction.
