Broadmoor property offers luxury around every corner, including an indoor pool and an elevator
By Kate Jonuska
Passing the calm and elegant campus of the Broadmoor resort and climbing up Old Stage Road to this week’s featured home, a private wrought-iron gate opens to a circular drive and presents an estate straight out of the golden age of Hollywood.
This courtyard is where Sabrina might have attended her first garden party with the Larrabees. This sweeping marble stair could have been where Norma Desmond asked Mr. DeMille for her close up. This home is where even a 21st Century family could feel the luxury and glamour of living like movie stars, down to learning the pleasure of taking a dip in the indoor pool every morning after breakfast.
“It has tons of character,” says Terrie Elwood of The Clement Team and RE/MAX Properties, who list the four-bedroom, seven-bath, 11,509-square-foot home for $1.895 million. “You’re not going to find a house like this anywhere else. It’s one of a kind.”
The lower level of stacked stone, the upper tier of stucco and the roof tiled, exquisite garden beds and retaining walls lead to the double front door. Inside, custom tile spills down the aforementioned stairway into a truly grand great room with a peaked ceiling and a wall of windows. Yards and yards of windows, looking out at a postcard perfect view of the Broadmoor nestled below and the entire city.
