BRECKENRIDGE — The most expensive home sale in Summit County history occurred in the final days of 2009 with the transfer of an $8.28 million residence near the base of Peak 8.
“It’s very special — the unique location is probably the key thing,” said Dan Corwin, spokesman for Breckenridge Associates Real Estate. “Breckenridge doesn’t have many homes that are directly on ski runs, especially one that goes straight to the base of Peak 8.”
The 6,565-square-foot residence sold for about $2.7 million more than the previous record-breaker, which occurred in July 2008. Both are in the Timber Trail subdivision.
Corwin said that although in 2009 the overall sales and dollar values of local homes were down from previous years, “there are some bright spots in the market.”
The $8.28 million home is on one of three lots directly on Trygve’s ski run at Breckenridge Ski Resort. The listing broker for the property was Andy Clapp of Breckenridge Associates Real Estate.
Mary Brooks with Re/Max was the buyer’s agent.
The home includes seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, four fireplaces, a three-car garage, three laundry rooms and several top-of-the-line finishes — such as custom iron-work fixtures, stained glass, wide-plank Norwegian elm flooring and Smarthome automation features, according to a Breckenridge Associates Real Estate news release.
There’s also a 2,000-square-foot heated patio with a view of the resort’s Horseshoe Bowl.
The ski-in, ski-out home was sold Dec. 30 by Patrick Roth to Ty A. and Kimberly C. Pennington, according to Catherine Maybury with the Summit County Assessor’s Office.
